Grand Theft Auto 5 is already an incredibly fun video game on its own, but there is one way to make it even better: cheats! And the best thing is, these are cheat codes that Rockstar Games themselves have put into GTA 5 so that players can have even more fun, so you don’t need to feel guilty about it.
The cheat codes come in various different forms, from button inputs that you use on your controller, to numbers you can input on your in-game cell phone. With these cheat codes you can unlock special abilities, spawn vehicles like the Rapid GT, spawn weapons, you can up your wanted level and you can even change the weather!
Below you’ll find a comprehensive cheat code list for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. If you’re looking to see how chaotic you can make Los Santos and how to look to add some more excitement to your GTA 5 experience, then look no further. It should at least tide you over until GTA 6.
There are multiple reasons why you should use cheats in GTA 5. The first, and most obvious one, is that they’re incredibly fun. Using cheat codes to grant invincibility, get unlimited ammo or to use special abilities is just lots of fun, in a game world where you usually have to follow the rules.
On top of that, if you want to blitz through the game for fun, or to get to a certain mission you really like, you can use cheat codes to make it easier to progress through the game quickly. Cheat codes make the game easier too, and challenges that were once difficult or tedious can now be a piece of cake.
Cheat codes are handy if you get caught out in the middle of nowhere too. Being able to spawn in a Buzzard if you’re stuck in the countryside is a blessing in disguise.
However, there is one caveat...
Do cheats disable achievements and trophies in GTA 5?
Yes, they do. As soon as you input a cheat code in GTA 5 you’ll get a notification saying that achievements and trophies are disabled, specifically “Cheats have been activated. Achievements will not be awarded for the duration of this session.”
A few things to note then: 1. The words “this session,” meaning that you don’t nuke a save when you enter a cheat code; 2. You can actually save while using cheats, and the next time you load up that save you’ll be back in a cheat free world - you’ll know this for certain because if you enter another cheat code after the load, it’ll give you the same “Cheats have been activated” notification.
Do you get to keep whatever you spawn in using cheats when you start a new session? Quite simply, yes. If you spawn in a Rapid GT, and put it in your garage, and then save at a bed, when you load the game the Rapid GT will still be in your garage, and achievements and trophies will be activated once again. It’s a nice way to make sure you have your favourite car readily available.
You can repeat this process over and over again, too. As long as you keep saving and reloading, a new session will initiate and you’ll be good to start getting achievements and trophies again... but with whatever you spawned in. Provided you saved it.
So, can you use the ‘all weapons’ cheat code, the ‘full health and armour’ cheat code, and spawn in a vehicle and save it in your garage, and then save, and then reload to reactivate achievements and trophies, and still keep everything? Yes, you certainly can.
What other limitations come from using cheat codes?
Aside from disabling achievements and trophies for the session, they also stop you getting more than a bronze medal at the end of missions. So, unfortunately, that means you can’t use it to give yourself a better chance to get a gold medal in each story mission.
How to Use the Game Cell Phone to Access & Enter Cheats
As we said earlier, there are a couple of different ways to enter cheat codes in GTA 5. Firstly, there’s the traditional button combination inputs, which are incredibly straightforward - you put in a code, and bam, the cheat works.
For the mobile phone number codes though, all you need to do is pull up your character’s cell phone and input the code as a phone number. The process is basically this:
Press up on the d-pad, to bring up your phone. Select “Contacts.”
Then hit the X (Xbox) or square (PlayStation) button, and then input the phone number. For instance, 1-999-2899-633 (the last 7 digits spell BUZZOFF).
And finally, hit the X or square button again. If input correctly it’ll call the phone number and say “cheat processing.” Your cheat will then activate, in this instance, a Buzzard will spawn.
And that’s how easy it is to use cheat codes in GTA V. Now you know the basics, you’ll be able to do a ton of things like get extra money, more weapons, spawn in cars, use special abilities like invincibility and so on.
For the cheat codes on PC, just use the phone number word (i.e. BUZZOFF) in the in-game console command screen (hit the ~ key to access to the PC console command screen) and the cheat will activate.
Now, let’s get onto the codes.
Vehicle and Weapon Spawning Cheats
As we mentioned earlier, the best part about spawning in weapons and vehicles is that you can not only use them to cause havoc or mess around, you can also take them back into your non-cheat world after you’ve finished if you store them in a garage. So, whether you want to spawn in your favourite sports car and be the talk of all San Andreas, or even spawn a caddy or a Buzzard, we’ve got you covered.

FAQ
Can you use cheats in GTA Online?
In order to keep GTA Online as a level playing field, no, you cannot use the above cheats in GTA Online. GTA Online is already pure chaos as it is, without everyone using the invincibility cheats and spawning in Buzzards, so as a result, the cheat codes are restricted to the single player.
What is the best GTA 5 cheat code?
This is definitely a subjective question, but if you ask us, you can’t beat the Invincibility cheat code, if you’re looking for a chaotic 5-minutes. For us though, the best of the best has to be either the Fast Run cheat code or the Super Jump cheat code, mainly because they completely change how you navigate Los Santos. Plus, they’re incredibly fun, which is the main thing with these cheat codes.
Are there any money cheats in GTA 5?
I know what you’re thinking, “is there a way to get unlimited money in GTA 5?” And the short answer is no. Rockstar gave you a ton of cheat codes to mess around with and have fun, but because you take everything from a “cheat session” back into the game after you’re done and loaded, that would ruin the balance of the game. So, no, GTA 5 has no unlimited money cheat. However, we certainly know the best way to earn money and easily hit the near 2 billion in-game money cap.
For more money than you know what to do with, the best way is to play the stock market and invest at the right time before doing certain assassination missions, because every company has a rival, and killing someone prominent in another company is going to crash their stock and boost someone else’s.
What’s the best way to make money in GTA 5 then?
The best way to make money in GTA 5 is to invest in the following, before the following story missions for Lester:
The Hotel Assassination - After picking up the mission, invest all your money into Betta Pharmaceuticals on the BAWSAQ. Sell when it reaches its peak (about 50% higher than the investment price) after the mission has completed, and before 1 in-game day has passed.
You can also make a ton of money investing in Bilkington Research (LCN) at its lowest and then selling when it hits its peak (around 5 or 6 in-game days later).
The Multi Target Assassination - After picking up the mission, this time invest all your money into Debonaire on the LCN. Sell it when it reaches its peak (about 70-80% higher than investment price), which is usually around 24-hours after the mission, at which point it steadily declines.
Like the Hotel Assassination, this time invest in Redwood Cigarettes (LCN)and when the price has gone up around 300 to 400%, sell. Again, because it’s the LCN, it’ll likely be 5-6 days later.
The Vice Assassination - After picking up this mission invest in Fruit Computers on the BAWSAQ. After the mission has completed, sell your shares when it reaches about 40-50% higher than your investment.
After the assassination invest all your money into Facade, and when it rises to around 30% of your investment higher, sell. The BAWSAQ recovers to peak quicker than the LCN, so sell around 2 days later.
The Bus Assassination - Unlike the others, you’re only going to want to invest in Vapid on the BAWSAQ after the mission has finished. When you’ve doubled your money, take it out (again, this will happen roughly 2 in-game days later).
The Construction Assassination - And finally, for this mission, simply invest in Gold Coast on the LCN before you do the assassination, and sell when it reaches its peak (roughly 24 in-game hours later).
Do all that and you’ll likely be a billionaire. Just make sure you have enough money before you do the first mission, otherwise you won’t be. Invest a good $100,000-$1,000,000 though in the first mission, and it’ll soon snowball to more money than you know what to do with.
