GTA 5 is an awesome game but for some, it’s a bit too realistic and restrictive in design. Are you a fan of GTA 5 and play it regularly? If you do then you will agree with us when we say that as good as the game is, there is no denying the fact that there are ample features present in the vanilla version of the game that can easily be exploited to be more than what they currently are by giving them a boost with the help of some ‘cheats’, to make the life of the average GTA 5 player that much easier and more enjoyable.
However, thanks to the GTA 5 cheats created by the dedicated GTA 5 gaming community, they give players access to bonus gameplay elements like more badass weapons, cool clothes, new gameplay elements and mechanics, and much, much more., that weren’t present in the base game, to help them level up their gameplay sessions.
With the assistance of these added features or ‘cheats’, players can now play their favorite Grand Theft Auto game to their heart’s content, by completely modifying the game to their liking. Some may call this ‘cheating the game’, but from our point of view, this is called customizing the game for maximum entertainment value which isn’t possible with the vanilla GTA 5.
As good as using cheats sounds, however, there are a few drawbacks to them in the form of not being able to unlock achievements and receive challenge trophies. By default, achievements and trophies are not rewarded to players using cheats in GTA 5, so if you’re okay with that, then go right ahead, but we would still recommend players, in general, to create two profiles nonetheless for added safety, one for a clean playthrough and one for implementing cheats in.
Additionally, it is also worth remembering that the cheats should only be used in Single-Player mode and not when playing in online mode. Using the cheats in single-player mode will only disable the option for players to unlock achievements and earn trophies during their immediate gameplay sessions but it will reset after they restart their games. On the other hand, using cheats in online mode is not recommended at all, as it will get players permanently banned for good and their accounts flagged.
So now that we know why cheats are essential in GTA 5 along with a few do’s and don’ts, without any more delays, let us jump right into the list of all the cheats, console commands, and phone numbers players can use to amplify their gaming experience while traversing the vibrant, bustling streets of Los Santos and causing unending chaos.
Since this is an ‘all-you-will-ever-need’ guide, players will not only get PC cheats but also Xbox and PlayStation cheats.
Please Note: At the time of writing this article, there are currently no known Money Cheats for players to use in-game. To get large sums of money, players will have to solely rely on manipulating the ever-evolving, volatile stock market present in the game.
GTA 5 Cheats Guide
How To Enable Cheats in GTA 5
There are currently three ways by which players can enable cheats in GTA 5: dialing a phone number, using button combinations, or typing in console commands. The number dialing method works on all three platforms – PC, Xbox, and Playstation, whereas the button-pressing method is for users with controllers or gamepads only. The console commands, on the other hand, only work for PC users.
1) Dialing Phone Numbers
Starting with the universal method which works across all devices. To use cheats through this method, players need to bring up their in-game mobile phones, navigate to the dialer option, enter the cheat phone number, and press the call button. If they have entered it correctly, a message will be displayed to them after the call ends, notifying them as to which cheat has just been activated.
2) Button Combinations
In this method, users will need to press the corresponding buttons on their gamepads, in order and as quickly as they can, to enable a particular cheat. If done correctly, a small on-screen notification will be displayed notifying players that their cheat has been activated.
3) Console Commands
As mentioned earlier, this method only works for PC users having a keyboard. To activate the cheats, players have to press the ‘~’ key while in-game and enter the corresponding commands to enable the cheats of their choosing.
