Unlimited Money, Weapons, and Armor: GTA 3 Cheat Guide

Select Language:

GTA 3 cheats can provide a thrilling boost to your criminal adventures, allowing you to quickly climb the ranks in Liberty City without the grind. While there are codes to enhance Claude with maximum health, armor, and an arsenal of weapons, many players often gravitate toward the infinite money cheat, enabling instant purchases. There are also codes to manipulate your wanted level, whether you want to evade the authorities or attract their attention. If you’re in the mood for chaos, you can even summon a personal Rhino tank! Whatever your strategy, our comprehensive list of Grand Theft Auto 3 cheats will guide you on your journey.

Some cheats from earlier versions are missing in the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition due to a mix of technical constraints and creative choices. We’ve highlighted the codes impacted by these changes so you’re informed. Additionally, the triggers for Xbox cheats have been swapped from their original configurations, so keep this in mind if you’ve memorized the controls.

How to Use GTA 3 Cheats

Before diving into the cheats, it’s wise to save your game first. Some codes can permanently alter your gameplay, possibly hindering your progress if activated inadvertently. In newer versions of the game, using cheats may also disable trophy or achievement progress, which is another reason to be cautious.

To activate any cheat on consoles, simply enter the button combination shown for each cheat. Make sure the game isn’t paused or in a cutscene while doing so. For PC players, it’s simpler: just type the corresponding phrase on your keyboard. In the Definitive Edition, you can also use a controller on PC or a keyboard on consoles to enter cheats.
