Key takeaways
- On PC, open the cheat console with the tilde (~) key and type the code word, for example PAINKILLER for five minutes of invincibility (PC Gamer)
- Every cheat can also be dialed on the in-game phone as 1-999 plus the code word, on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (GTA Wiki)
- The Dodo, Duke O'Death and Kraken spawns must be unlocked through play first and have no controller combo (GTA Wiki)
- Using a cheat disables trophies and achievements for that session only, and missions played with cheats are capped at Bronze (GTA Wiki, PC Gamer)
- There is no money cheat in GTA 5, and no cheats work in GTA Online (PC Gamer)
GTA 5 cheats work in Story Mode on every version of the game: type the code into the cheat console on PC, enter the button combo on PlayStation or Xbox, or dial 1-999 plus the code word on the in-game phone. The most used codes are PAINKILLER for five minutes of invincibility, TOOLUP for weapons, TURTLE for full health and armor and LAWYERUP to drop a wanted star. No cheat gives money, and none work in GTA Online. This guide lists every code for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, all phone numbers, the vehicle spawns and the rules on trophies and achievements.
Checked against the GTA Wiki cheat list and PC Gamer's GTA 5 cheat tables on November 12, 2026.
The console button codes below come from the GTA Wiki's cheat page, with the BMX, fast swim and slow motion aim console inputs taken from PC Gamer's tables, which list them where the wiki does not. Where the two sources disagreed on a single button, the wiki version is used.
How do you enter cheats in GTA 5?
There are three ways, and they all trigger the same effects. Pick whichever is fastest for your platform.
- PC console: press the tilde key (~), the key left of 1 on most keyboards, type the code word in capitals and press Enter. The GTA Wiki lists the slash key as a second way to open the same input bar.
- Controller combo: on PlayStation and Xbox, press the button sequence during gameplay. You can also enter it from the pause menu, then unpause to activate it.
- In-game phone: on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, open the phone, open the dial pad and call 1-999 followed by the code word spelled out on the keypad. On PC, the phone opens with the up arrow and the dial pad with the spacebar.
The phone does not store cheats, so a code that wears off has to be entered again. Cheats only work in Story Mode, outside missions for most effects, and a new save has to reach the open world (after the opening mission, when you take control of Franklin) before the console accepts codes. Vehicle spawns need open space around you, or the code will not fire.
What are all the GTA 5 cheat codes for PC and phone?
These code words work in the PC console, and the matching phone numbers work on every platform that has the phone cheat feature.
| Effect | PC code | Phone number |
|---|---|---|
| Max health and armor | TURTLE | 1-999-887-853 |
| Invincibility (5 minutes) | PAINKILLER | 1-999-724-654-5537 |

| Slippery cars | SNOWDAY | 1-999-766-9329 |
| Change weather | MAKEITRAIN | 1-999-625-348-7246 |
Slow motion and slow motion aim can be stacked: each entry slows things down further, and the fourth entry switches the effect off. Change weather cycles to the next weather type each time you enter it, including snow, which does not otherwise appear outside holiday events. Drunk mode works as an on/off toggle.

How do you spawn cars, bikes and aircraft with cheats?
Every vehicle code spawns the vehicle right next to you. Stand outdoors with space around you, especially for aircraft like the Buzzard and Mallard.
| Vehicle | PC code | Phone number | PlayStation | Xbox |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMX | BANDIT | 1-999-226-348 | Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Right, Square, Circle, Triangle, R1, R2 | Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Right, X, B, Y, RB, RT |

| Duke O'Death (unlock first) | DEATHCAR | 1-999-332-84227 | Phone or PC only | Phone or PC only |
| Kraken submarine (unlock first) | BUBBLES | 1-999-282-2537 | Phone or PC only | Phone or PC only |
Three spawns must be unlocked through play before the code works: the Dodo needs the Sea Plane random event, the Duke O'Death needs the Duel random event, and the Kraken needs the Wildlife Photography Challenge. These three have no controller combo, so console players dial them on the phone. The Dodo and Kraken can be spawned on land.
The phone also has two extra numbers with no code word: 1-999-57825368 (1-999-LS-TALENT) opens Director Mode, and 1-999-367-3767 (1-999-EMPEROR) gives the black cellphone.
Do cheats disable trophies and achievements in GTA 5?
Yes, but only temporarily. Activating a cheat blocks trophies and achievements for the current play session, and a mission played with a cheat active is capped at a Bronze medal. The GTA Wiki notes that cheats do not stop you reaching 100% completion overall and do not corrupt save files.
- Save manually before you start cheating, then reload that save when you are done to get a clean session.
- Autosaves made while cheats are active do not permanently lock achievements, unlike GTA IV.
- Some cheats are blocked during missions entirely, so try them in free roam.
- A weather cheat survives a quicksave and reload while the other cheats switch off, which lets you play a mission in snow without the session counting as cheated.
Which GTA 5 cheats are the most useful?
For getting out of trouble, the core trio is PAINKILLER, TURTLE and LAWYERUP. Invincibility lasts five minutes and switches off if you change character, so re-enter it after a switch. Max health and armor also repairs the car you are sitting in and puts out fires on it.
- Explosive bullets and flaming bullets need a gun equipped, while explosive melee needs empty hands. On PC, punching a vehicle with explosive melee can blow it up with you next to it, so pair it with invincibility.
- Slow motion aim needs a gun equipped and can block a character's special ability until you switch it off.
- Skyfall drops you from a great height. If you already have a parachute, tap the jump or action button as the screen fades back in to open it straight away.
- Super jump plus low gravity is the go-to combo for getting onto rooftops, but in the newer console and PC versions Skyfall does not work while super jump is active.
Is there a money cheat in GTA 5 or GTA Online?
No. There is no cheat for money in Story Mode, and no cheat code of any kind works in GTA Online. For GTA Online, the GTA Online money guide covers the businesses and weekly bonuses that pay best right now. There is also no cheat that spawns the game's Lamborghini-style supercars; those have to be bought or found.
