What Are GTA 5 Cheat Codes?
GTA 5 cheat codes are secret keyboard sequences, button combinations, or in-game phone numbers that instantly unlock special abilities, spawn vehicles, change the weather, and much more in Grand Theft Auto V. First introduced in the original GTA series, cheats have remained one of the most popular features in Rockstar Games titles, giving players a way to have fun outside of the main story.
Whether you’re playing on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X, or using the in-game cell phone, every platform has its own method for activating cheats. This guide covers all 30 currently known and working cheat codes for GTA V in one place.
How to Enter Cheat Codes in GTA 5
The method for entering cheat codes depends on your platform. Here’s how to activate them on each:
💻 PC (Keyboard)
Press the ~ (tilde) key to open the in-game console, then type the cheat code and press Enter. Codes are not case-sensitive. Example: type PAINKILLER and press Enter to become invincible.
🎮 PlayStation (PS4 / PS5)
During gameplay (not paused), quickly enter the button combination shown for PlayStation using your controller’s face buttons (Triangle, Circle, X, Square) and shoulder buttons (L1, L2, R1, R2). Enter them in sequence without pausing between presses.
🕹️ Xbox (Xbox One / Series X|S)
Same as PlayStation but using Xbox button names (Y, B, A, X, LB, LT, RB, RT). Enter the full sequence quickly during active gameplay.
📱 In-Game Phone (All Consoles + PC)
Open your in-game phone by pressing Up on D-pad (console) or T (PC), go to the Contacts screen, and dial the phone number shown for each cheat. This method works on all platforms and is often the easiest to remember.

GTA 5 Cheat Codes by Category
Here’s a quick overview of what each category of cheat does in GTA V:
❤️ Health & Armor Cheats (3 codes)
These cheats restore your health to maximum, give you full armor, refill your special ability bar, or make you completely invincible for a limited time. PAINKILLER (invincibility) and TURTLE (full health & armor) are the most used cheats in the game, especially useful during tough missions.
🔫 Weapons Cheats (6 codes)
Weapon cheats spawn a full set of firearms instantly. TOOLUP gives you a basic loadout while additional codes add explosive rounds, flaming bullets, or explosive melee attacks. The slow-motion aim cheat (DEADEYE) is particularly useful for precision shooting during action sequences.
🚗 Vehicle Cheats (10 codes)
GTA 5 includes cheats to spawn 10 different vehicles ranging from sports cars like the Comet and Rapid GT to aircraft like the Buzzard attack helicopter and the Stunt Plane. Vehicle cheats are great for exploring the map quickly or setting up wild stunts.
🌍 World Cheats (3 codes)
World cheats let you change the weather on demand, make all vehicles slide on ice (great for chaos), or activate slow-motion mode to turn GTA V into a cinematic action game. The weather cheat cycles through different weather states each time you enter it.
🏃 Player Cheats (6 codes)
Player cheats modify your character’s movement and physics. Super jump lets you leap over buildings, moon gravity makes everything float, fast run and fast swim help you traverse the map quickly, and skyfall drops you from the sky.
⭐ Police / Wanted Level Cheats (2 codes)
These two cheats let you instantly raise or lower your wanted level star rating. Lower your wanted level to escape the police instantly, or raise it to trigger a high-speed chase for fun.
Pro Tips for Using GTA 5 Cheat Codes
- Save before cheating. Cheats permanently disable achievements/trophies for the session. Saving first lets you reload a clean save if needed.
- Cheat codes don’t work in GTA Online. They are Story Mode only. Trying to use them online won’t work and may flag your account.
- Stack cheats carefully. You can have invincibility AND full weapons active at the same time, making missions trivially easy.
- The weather cheat cycles. Enter MAKEITRAIN (PC) multiple times to cycle through different weather conditions: clear, cloudy, overcast, foggy, rainy, thundery, clearing, snowing.
- Slow-motion aim stacks 3 times. Enter DEADEYE up to 3 times for increasingly slow bullet-time. Enter a 4th time to deactivate.
- Phone numbers are easiest to remember. The in-game phone method works on all platforms and doesn’t require memorizing button sequences.
- Re-enter cheats to deactivate. Invincibility lasts 5 minutes and must be re-entered. Other cheats like slow-motion can be toggled off by entering again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about GTA 5 cheat codes answered:
Yes. GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S uses the same cheat button combinations as PS4 and Xbox One. The PS5 version uses the same PlayStation button layout (Triangle, Circle, X, Square, L1, L2, R1, R2) and the Xbox Series X version uses the same Xbox layout (Y, B, A, X, LB, LT, RB, RT). The in-game phone number cheats also work identically across all console generations.
No — cheat codes in GTA 5 Story Mode are an official feature built into the game by Rockstar Games and will not get you banned. However, cheats do NOT work in GTA Online, and attempting to use mods or external cheat tools in GTA Online can result in a ban. Stick to official built-in cheat codes in Story Mode only and you are completely safe.
On PC, press the ~ (tilde) key during gameplay to open the cheat console. Type the cheat code (e.g., PAINKILLER) and press Enter. The console will close and a notification will confirm the cheat is active. Alternatively, you can open your in-game phone by pressing T and dial the phone number version of the cheat instead.
Yes, you can complete most story missions with cheats active. However, some missions disable certain cheats while active. The main consequence is that Achievements and Trophies will be disabled for the entire play session once any cheat is used. If you care about 100% completion or trophy hunting, avoid using cheats during those sessions.
There are 30 official cheat codes in GTA 5 Story Mode. These include 3 health & armor cheats, 6 weapons cheats, 10 vehicle spawn cheats, 3 world cheats, 6 player ability cheats, and 2 wanted level cheats. All 30 are listed in the interactive table above, covering PC keyboard codes, PlayStation button combos, Xbox button combos, and in-game phone numbers.
No. The PAINKILLER invincibility cheat lasts for exactly 5 minutes in real time. After 5 minutes it automatically deactivates and you will become vulnerable again. You need to re-enter the cheat code to reactivate it. A notification on screen will tell you when invincibility is active.
