GTA 5 Cheat Code

GTA 5 Cheat Code of December 2025 for PC, PS4, PS5 & Xbox

Table Of Contents

I’ve been playing GTA 5 since its original release back in 2013, and let me tell you – even after all these years, there’s nothing quite like entering a cheat code and watching chaos unfold in Los Santos. Whether I’m spawning a helicopter on a rooftop or making my character invincible for some mayhem, cheat codes never get old.

After countless hours exploring every corner of this massive game, I’ve compiled the most comprehensive list of GTA 5 cheat codes you’ll find anywhere. I’m talking about every single code for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S – plus some insider tips I’ve learned along the way.

How to Enter Cheat Codes in GTA 5 in 2025?

Before we dive into the massive list of codes, let me walk you through exactly how to enter them. I’ve seen too many players get frustrated because they didn’t know the proper method for their platform.

PC Players

You’ve got three different ways to activate cheats on PC:

  1. Console Method (My preferred way): Press the tilde key (~) to open the console, type your code, and hit Enter
  2. Phone Method: Open your character’s phone, go to the keypad, and dial the number
  3. Button Combination: If you’re using a controller on PC, you can use the PlayStation or Xbox button combinations

Console Players (PlayStation & Xbox)

For console players, you’ll need to input specific button combinations in sequence. Here’s what I’ve learned works best:

  • Input the combinations quickly but accurately
  • You don’t need to pause the game
  • You’ll see a confirmation message when done correctly
  • Some codes have a cooldown period

Important Note: Using cheat codes will disable achievements and trophies for that gaming session. I learned this the hard way when I was going for 100% completion!

Complete PC Cheat Codes List

As a PC player myself, I appreciate how straightforward these text-based codes are. Just remember to use the tilde key (~) to open that console.

Xbox Cheat Codes (One/Series X|S)

Xbox players get the same functionality with their own button layout. The good news is that muscle memory transfers pretty well between PlayStation and Xbox if you play on both platforms.

Universal Phone Number Cheat Codes

Here’s something cool I discovered – these phone number cheats work across ALL platforms! Whether you’re on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, just open your character’s phone and dial these numbers. It’s actually faster than button combinations once you memorize them.

Pro Tips & Advanced Secrets

After thousands of hours in GTA 5, I’ve picked up some insider knowledge that most guides don’t mention. Let me share the good stuff with you.

My Favorite Cheat Combinations

The Ultimate Chaos Setup:

  1. Enter invincibility first
  2. Activate explosive punches
  3. Spawn a Buzzard helicopter
  4. Turn on moon gravity
  5. Watch the mayhem unfold!

Perfect Crime Spree:

  1. Get all weapons
  2. Activate explosive bullets
  3. Spawn fast vehicles nearby
  4. Use the wanted level decrease when things get too hot

Hidden Mechanics I’ve Discovered

Cheat Code Stacking: Some effects can be stacked! For example, you can have explosive punches AND explosive bullets active simultaneously.

Timer Reset Trick: Invincibility lasts exactly 5 minutes, but here’s what most people don’t know – you can re-enter the code at 4 minutes and 30 seconds to reset the timer without any downtime.

Vehicle Spawn Locations: Vehicles always spawn in the same relative position to your character. Face north before spawning for predictable placement.

Achievement Warning

This is super important – using ANY cheat code will disable achievements and trophies for that gaming session. I learned this the hard way when I was 90% through getting all achievements. You’ll need to restart the game (not just reload a save) to re-enable them.

Best Cheats for Different Activities

For Exploration:

  • Buzzard helicopter + invincibility + parachute

For Combat:

  • All weapons + explosive bullets + health/armor

For Stunts:

  • Super jump + moon gravity + slow motion

For Photography:

  • Weather change + slow motion + skyfall (for aerial shots)

Cheat Code Speed Tips

I’ve timed myself entering these codes hundreds of times. Here are the fastest methods:

  1. PC Console: Fastest overall method
  2. Phone Numbers: Good for all platforms, easy to remember
  3. Button Combinations: Slowest but works offline

Secret Cheat Effects

Some cheats have hidden secondary effects I’ve noticed:

  • Moon Gravity: Also affects explosion physics
  • Drunk Mode: Changes camera sway and audio
  • Slow Motion: Can be entered up to 4 times for increasing effect
  • Weather Change: Cycles through 14 different weather patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a money cheat in GTA 5?

Unfortunately, no. Unlike previous GTA games, there’s no money cheat in GTA 5. I’ve tried every combination and phone number you can imagine! Your best bet for cash is stock market manipulation, heist replays, or finding hidden packages.

Do cheats work in GTA Online?

Absolutely not, and don’t even try it. Rockstar has zero tolerance for cheating in Online mode. You’ll get banned faster than you can say “LAWYERUP.” Cheats only work in single-player story mode.

Can I save my game after using cheats?

Yes, you can save, but those achievements/trophies will remain disabled until you start a fresh gaming session without cheats.

Why aren’t my cheats working?

Common issues I’ve seen:

  • Entering button combinations too slowly
  • Missing a button in the sequence
  • Trying to use them in Online mode
  • Console commands not working (make sure you’re using the tilde key ~)

Do cheats affect story missions?

Most cheats work during missions, but some are automatically disabled during certain story sequences. The game will tell you if a cheat is temporarily unavailable.

What’s the cooldown on cheat codes?

Most cheats can be re-entered immediately, except invincibility which has a 5-minute duration. Some vehicle spawns have a brief cooldown to prevent spam.

The Most Useful Cheat Combinations

After playing for years, these are the combinations I use most often:

“God Mode Explorer”

  1. PAINKILLER (Invincibility)
  2. BUZZOFF (Buzzard Helicopter)
  3. TURTLE (Health/Armor as backup)

Perfect for exploring dangerous areas or taking on the military.

“Stunt Master”

  1. HOPTOIT (Super Jump)
  2. FLOATER (Moon Gravity)
  3. SKYDIVE (Parachute)
  4. SLOWMO (Slow Motion)

Great for creating amazing stunt videos.

“Chaos Creator”

  1. TOOLUP (All Weapons)
  2. HOTHANDS (Explosive Punches)
  3. HIGHEX (Explosive Bullets)
  4. PAINKILLER (Invincibility)

When you want to turn Los Santos into a war zone.

Final Thoughts

GTA 5 cheat codes have kept me entertained for over a decade, and I’m still discovering new ways to combine them for maximum fun. Whether you’re looking to create chaos, explore the world safely, or just mess around with friends, these codes will give you endless entertainment.

Remember to bookmark this page – you’ll definitely want to come back to reference these codes. And if you discover any cool cheat combinations I haven’t mentioned, I’d love to hear about them!

The beauty of GTA 5 is that even with all these cheats, the game never gets old. There’s always something new to try, some new chaos to create, or some new stunt to attempt. So go ahead, fire up the game, and let loose with these cheat codes. Los Santos is your playground!

Pro Tip: Start with the invincibility and health cheats, then work your way up to the more complex combinations. Trust me, you’ll be having a blast in no time.
