Cheats in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

This article contains information on Cheats.

Using cheats may cause unintended side effects, disable achievements and/or hinder game progress. Use cheats at your own risk.

Cheats in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are similar to those of its predecessors, requiring input of a series of controller button commands or a keyboard. When a cheat code is successfully entered, a "Cheat Activated" message will appear on the upper left corner of the screen to confirm the cheat has been entered. The following cheat codes must be entered during gameplay. Entering cheat codes on the pause menu will not activate the cheat unlike its predecessors.

Note that the PlayStation 2 and Xbox require the use of the D-Pad (up, down, left, right), (NOTE: this is not the analog stick) for directional input. For the PlayStation 3 port of the game, the triggers that need to be pressed must be pressed in the opposite way. For example, where one would normally press / in a cheat, they must press /. (e.g. would be the correct input for the PS3 port of the game of the "Unlimited Ammo" cheat.)

The pedestrian hate and riot cheats are permanent and cannot be reversed if the game is saved while the cheat is active. These pedestrian-related cheats can hinder progress during missions.

On PC, due to the nature of the cheats requiring a hash code rather than just simply the input itself, it may result in hash collisions, thereby making the cheats enterable using a number of combinations, even by simply pressing the movement keys (WASD). The * denotes the intended cheat code found on the Android port of the game – other alternative cheat code combinations (such as HESOYAM and AEZAKMI) – were simply found by using a dictionary and were later widely accepted as the prime cheat code (as cheat codes were not explicitly given by Rockstar Games themselves in any guide nor the game executable contained them).

On Android or iOS: Connect, the keyboard for the smartphone uses an OTG adapter; however, if OTG mode is not supported by the device, a wireless bluetooth keyboard can be connected. Alternatively, third-party applications can be used to enable the virtual keyboard, such as "iGame keyboard".

Carl's car is invincible and can instantly destroy other vehicles (Auto-immune car) Note: Invincibility is unreliable and occasionally turns itself off after cutscenes, inside the car when just finishing dates and missions or if Carl's inside the car when the cheat is turned on. The player has to exit and re-enter the car to re-enable the invincibility, or else Carl's car will blow up when blowing up another car. Also if the player disables this cheat while inside the vehicle, it will become all-proof and also not destroyed when using cheats "Blow up all vehicles". If the vehicle is stored into the garage, it will immediately lose its' fire and damage-proof qualities, but retain the bullet-proofing and explosion-proofing.

Negative Effects of Cheating[]

Cheating in GTA San Andreas has been proven to have some negative effects on missions and gameplay. The following list contains side effects that may arise by playing the game with cheats. To avoid any of these side effects, it is recommended to use cheat codes only after the game has been completed or on an alternate save file. However, some minor side effects from a save file with cheats can spread onto a file without cheats.

Cheating decreases the Criminal Rating by 10 (except for "Health & Armor" cheat).
The "Infinite Ammo" cheat may cause the audio to glitch up. The reason this happens is unknown.
Enabling the "Spawn Hotring Racer" cheat may sometimes spawn a Hotring Racer without a racing number. The same also applies for the "Spawn Bloodring Banger" cheat.
Enabling "All Cars Explode" cheat in some gameplay cutscenes in some missions will cause the screen to freeze and the player will be stuck in the cutscene mode. The game will still be in process, but the mission cannot be continued on. The only way to escape from this situation is to reload a game save or commit suicide via cheats, hacks or other means.
Enabling the "Health and Armor" cheat during the bike chase of Just Business and during shooting from the car in End of the Line will fail the mission, destroying the BF-400/Feltzer, and CJ will eventually be Wasted.
- If the player has activated "Invulnerable Cars" cheat before Big Smoke gets on the bike and input the cheat during another cutscene happens in the same mission, CJ won't get wasted, but the mission will fail, with the in-game text saying Big Smoke is killed. (in Just Business only).
Enabling the "Health and Armor" cheat during the Lure mission will immediately destroy the car doors, making the mission more difficult and challenging.
The Health and Armor cheat has no effect on the DA's car on 555 We Tip.
Enabling the "Health and Armor" cheat at any time during a taxi driver sub-mission will immediately empty the tip bar, making the player unable to get the Speed Bonus (this doesn't always happen on PC version).
Enabling the "Lock Wanted Level" cheat will cause a glitch on the Mike Toreno mission stopping the script after the red marker (unless the "Lock Wanted Level" cheat is disabled).
The Maximum Fat and Max Muscle cheats make it difficult for the player to date Helena Wankstein (unless the player collected all Oysters).
The Minimum Fat and Muscle cheats make it difficult for the player to date Michelle Cannes & Barbara Schternvart (unless the player has collected all Oysters).
The Super Punches cheat are not recommended during the Riot events of Los Santos, since any civilian (including CJ) being punched with this cheat enabled on will automatically die (unless the infinite health cheat is also on).
The Recruit Anyone cheats reverse in effect during Gang Wars.
The missions Burning Desire, Life's a Beach, Photo Opportunity, and Madd Dogg cannot be completed if too many cheats have been used before the mission.
Enabling the Jetpack cheat whilst CJ has stepped on a red mission marker will cause the game to crash before the mission starts. This no longer happens on the PC version.
The Pedestrians Riot cheat makes the mission "Madd Dogg" impossible to complete, as Madd Dogg falls off before CJ has enough time to park the truck under him.
The Pedestrians Riot cheat also makes the mission Tanker Commander impossible to complete, as Mr. Whittaker will instantly attack Catalina upon meeting her, causing her to shoot him, making the cutscene permanent.
The Weapons Sets 1, 2, and 3 cheats make the mission Air Raid impossible to complete, as the Minigun will be replaced by RPG-7, Flamethrower, and Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher respectively.
Entering the "Weapons Set 2" cheat during the mission Tagging Up Turf will instantly fail the mission as the Spray Can will be replaced by the Fire Extinguisher.
Entering the "Kinky", "Rural", "Beach party", & "Carnival" themes cheat during the Valet side mission will instantly fail the mission.
If the player inputs the Flying Cars cheat, and then drives a car into any body of water, CJ will become stuck in the car and will not be able to get out and get drowned (unless the "Flying Cars" cheat is disabled and the "Infinite oxygen" cheat is enabled). Same applies when bailing out whilst in the air (rarely).
If the player enters the Cars Float Away When Hit cheat too many times, cars will sometimes spawn in midair and fall from the sky. Also, random cars will explode as soon as CJ is within spawning distance of them.
If the player inputs the Flying Cars cheat, random NPC cars may suddenly lift off and fly away.
Enabling the Health and Armor cheat during the mission "Reuniting the Families" (the chase part) will not repair Sweet's car.
Enabling the Destroy All Cars cheat during the mission "Reuniting The Families" (possibly to make the cop cars & bikes destroyed quickly) will make Sweet's car explode and CJ will be stuck inside the car (unable to get out & will get killed) This includes the Tanker exploding before Sweet's Greenwood crashes into it, making the game stop.
If the Cars Float On Water cheat is enabled, the Nevada, Rustler, Stuntplane and Cropduster will roll backwards when they spawn. It is unknown why this happens, but it is hypothesized that they roll backwards because their nose tilts upwards when parked.
Enabling time cheats (Midnight for example), may cause the in-game time to progress and it will never stop unless the cheat is enabled again (causing the clock to speed up like the "Faster Clock" cheat until it catches up to whenever it should be).
Enabling Fat and Stamina Cheats will disallow CJ from working out in any gym.
If the player has the "Flying Cars" cheat enabled while starting any Racing side-mission, all of the opponent's cars will lift off and fly away as soon as the race starts.
If the player has the Riot cheat enabled, pedestrians can be seen fighting each other in the background during mission cutscenes. Sometimes pedestrians may interfere with the cutscene and attack CJ. Alternatively, the characters may join in with the riot during the cutscene, making the cutscene permanent thus requiring a reload or a reset as the player's controls are locked during cutscenes without mods or cheats.
Sometimes when the player steals or attacks an NPC's car, they walk away instead of running away or fighting Carl. This cheating side effect can occur after only one cheat is activated.
If the player activates "Health and Armor" cheat when driving a vehicle that is about to explode when the vehicle is fixed, the car will still explode in some occasions.
Enabling the "Raise Wanted Level" & "Six-Star Wanted Level" cheat during the mission "555 We Tip" will instantly fail the mission.
Enabling the "All Cars Explode" cheat during Race Tournament Sub-Mission will eventually have CJ disqualified (if CJ exits the vehicle) or wasted (if CJ fails to do so).
Enabling the "Invulnerable Cars" after getting in a car is ineffective because if the player tries to damage a car and that car explodes, his/her car will also smoke and explode, eventually wasting CJ (if the player fails to exit the car in time).
If the player enables the Jetpack cheat while having a private dance in a strip club, the dance will be skipped.
Enabling the "All Cars Explode" on some side and mandatory missions that uses a vehicle other than those mentioned in this list will cause the vehicle to explode, thus failing the mission or if the player fails to go out of their vehicle especially on any schools in which he/she is not allowed to exit, they will die.
If the player spawns a Rhino via cheat code while driving a boat, such as a Jetmax, there's a chance that a serious bug/glitch will occur (see videos). If the spawned tank collides with the player's boat, one or both might get thrown into the air. The player's coordinates will be warped to a very big value beyond overflow limit and this will cause the gameplay screen to freeze or crash the game. When this happens, the screen turns overly bright, flashes, and only shows a text that says "Loading...". The screen will remain stuck at loading unless the player pauses and restarts the game.
Inputting cheats while the game is lagging will sometimes cause the cheat being inputted not to be activated.

Tricks[]

During the third mission, Sweet & Kendl, if the player types in the cheat "Bounty on your head", it will cause the gang to attack Carl. However, if Carl is able to run them over with a vehicle, and then de-activate the "Bounty on your head" cheat, activate the cheats "Recruit Anyone" and "Maximum Respect" cheat, lock on and recruit them, they will become his allies. They have a lot of health and they can take a lot of damage. Also, they never de-spawn. This is confirmed for PC.
Whilst the "Speed up time" cheat is activated at least twice, inputting Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up on the PS2 controller when listening to the radio in a vehicle will allow the player to skip tracks.
If the player enables the "Invincible Vehicle" cheat code, then enter any car, (Except aircraft and boats) then disable the cheat while they are in the same vehicle, the car will still be invincible, but won't destroy other vehicles on contact. Using a spray shop or a mod garage or putting in a garage will cause the vehicle to lose its invincibility.

Gangs — The effect of the "Recruit anyone" Cheat

If the player activates "Gang members have gunfights" cheat, they will see other gang members that usually stay in other cities spawn in the current zone the player is in (including rural areas and Lil' Probe'Inn). Also, in some missions (OG Loc, Ryder, etc.), if the target Carl must kill fires a gun through the street, the gangsters on the street may pull out their guns and turn against the target, making the mission become easier to complete. The effect is however reversed in some missions, such as Grove 4 Life, Beat Down on B Dup, and Nines and AKs. Additionally the streets will be covered with gang vehicles, however most stationary vehicles will not change because of this cheat. Also in some places, after inputting the cheat, normal pedestrians may still spawn.
During any mission involving car chasing that the main objective is to kill targets (such as High Noon or chasing part in A Home in the Hills), if Carl gets out of his vehicle that he used for chasing and types the "All Vehicles explode" cheat before the target gets too far from the player, the target will die and the mission will be passed.
The "All cars have nitrous" cheat affects nearly all vehicles that appear in the game, except for motorcycles. Some vehicles that usually cannot have nitro equipped on (such as a Tug, Vortex, Quad, Shamal, Predator, etc.) will also have an increase of vehicle speed and the nitro can be shown coming out of the gas pipe.
- Inputting this cheat during the mission "Intensive Care" will make the game freeze after a Sindacco gang member checks on Johnny Sindacco after driving to the destination.

Trivia[]

Up to 7 (the normal GSF maximum) non-GSF peds can be recruited with cheats no matter how low CJ's respect is.
So far, GTA San Andreas is the only game to have a cheat code wherein the player cannot (automatically) earn any wanted level for trespassing in any prohibited area (in the case of GTA San Andreas, San Fierro and Las Venturas if both cities has yet to be unlocked) as Wanted Levels cannot be disabled for trespassing in prohibited areas including the Washington Beach Police Station in GTA Vice City, the tarmac of Francis International Airport and the areas that has yet to be unlocked in GTA IV, and Fort Zancudo, Humane Labs and Research and the tarmac of Los Santos International Airport in GTA V (if the player has yet to purchase a hangar as Michael and Franklin or when playing as Trevor).
Enabling the "Sports Cars" cheat will replace normal civilian cars with sports cars (and some of them are rare) spawning throughout the states, like Phoenix, Euros, Hotknife, Uranus (They are considerably rare in free roam if this cheat has not been activated yet). The same as "Cheap Cars" cheat.
If "Pedestrians attack Carl with guns" is activated while on Vigilante missions, a glitch will occur where the targeted criminals will sometimes separate from their cars. For example, if Carl is on Level 4 (where there are four criminals in a car), this cheat code will sometimes cause two of the criminals to abandon the car while the other half continues to drive it.
Enabling “BIFBUZZ” will also spawn the ninth and tenth gangs that are unused normally. And if the player activates this cheat in areas outside of Los Santos, they will see Los Santos gangs spawn in other areas (even rural areas), in a similar fashion to the situation during the Riot. However the cheat cannot spawn Russian Mafia gangsters (that appear in some missions with unique models).
If the time stuck at 00:00 cheat is used and sometime is passed some times, an oval thing that resembles the sun, but is smaller in size appears. It has the same colour as sun. It is believed to be a NIGHTPROWLER glitch.
The "Invulnerable Cars" cheat doesn't protect the player's vehicle from the minigun shot with the Police Maverick or the gun from Police Predators. If one of those vehicles explode near CJ his vehicle would set on fire and explode, leading to a potential death or significant loss of health.
- Similarly the cheat won't have an affect on boats (except Vortex), like if the player had activated the cheat before CJ entered a boat and inputted "All cars explode" cheat code, the boat will still explode and CJ would most likely die.
If typing both cheats "Gangs spawn much faster" and "Gangs having gunfights", the Mafia will commonly spawn and act like a gang. Sometimes, they may be found holding beer bottles and they will even point a gun if provoked by nearby gunshots from other gang members or the player himself. They will drive in Admirals, Feltzers and Sentinels. This is done in the PS2 version and PC version.
Cars in Valet missions needed to be driven away won't be affected by "Fast Cars" or "Poor Cars" cheat. However they can be affected by "Black Theme" or "Pink Theme" to go through in the two special colors.
If the player has typed the "Maximum lung capacity" cheat before, and then drives a car into the water, they will not lose the lung capacity nor health, and when the vehicle reaches the underwater ground, its lights will change (the headlights will be turned off if it has been turned on before at night times) Carl will be able to drive it, albeit harder than in the air. The player can also use this trick to drive their vehicle out of the water and then return to the land. However if the player exits the vehicle while driving in the sea, it will be impossible to return to the car.
- If doing this trick in some missions, the mission will fail as "the vehicle has been destroyed", however the sunk vehicle still remains intact.
The CJPHONEHOME cheat is a reference to Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Typing "JCNRUAD" cheat and then quickly deactivating the following cheat before Carl gets in the vehicle will make the car invincible.
By recruiting a police officer via "Recruit Anyone in your gang" cheat, one will find the recruited police officer will immediately open fire on street criminals upon sighting one, even if they're not doing any crime, just walking around or driving their vehicle. The same applies when using the same cheat to recruit normal NPCs.
If one turns on the "Pedestrians attack Carl with guns" cheat, police officers will be replaced by Motor Officers (Who are on foot instead of riding a motorcycle) and Soldiers. Normal pedestrians will be replaced by countryside pedestrians, construction workers and bikers. Gang members will still spawn. Fire Trucks and Ambulances will still respond to emergencies, but will never take care of the problem, they will instead drive recklessly.
If one turns on the "AJLOJYQY" cheat, police officers are sometimes affected. This would be helpful to the player when he/she has a wanted level, as they will fight other pedestrians, including other cops, but they still can attack the player, except that instead of using their Pistol, they'll use their fists when affected by the cheat.
- However, the "STATEOFEMERGENCY" cheat will never affect them. Possibly because it is canon, unlike the "AJLOJYQY" cheat.
By giving weapons to the pedestrians with the use of cheats, some drivers will come out of their vehicle whenever someone fires a gun and then fire at the shooter, such as Taxi Drivers and Security Guards.
- If they carry a melee weapon instead of a ranged weapon, they will ignore the gunshots.
- Some pedestrians on foot will also shoot whoever fires a gun, such as Tramps.
"STATEOFEMERGENCY" is so far the only riot cheat in the GTA franchise that affects drivers, as it either makes them get out of their vehicle and start fighting pedestrians, or it makes their vehicle explode.
- On the other hand, "AJLOYJQY" does not affect drivers.
If the player pulls out a weapon while having the "Pedestrians hate CJ" cheat on, all pedestrians will run away and all drivers will drive recklessly as long as they are unarmed.
On Android, the "complete invincibility" (GONPXWR) cheat makes any vehicle CJ drives indestructible and unable to be destroyed by explosion. If the player damages a vehicle until it catches fire and then quickly enters it before it explodes, the vehicle will remain on fire indefinitely without exploding, and the flames will persist even if CJ exits and damages the vehicle even more. This won't work with the similar "unlimited health" (BLOKKIK) cheat as this one doesn't grant CJ or his vehicles immunity to explosions.
It is possible to do missions with the "Pedestrians attack CJ" cheat on without CJ's allies attacking him. In order to do so, the cheat must be turned off, then the allies should be pacified (methods include setting them on fire, or spraying them with a fire truck hose in case their health should be preserved). Afterwards, they can be recruited with the "Recruit anyone" cheat. This way, the allies won't attack CJ once the cheat is turned back on.
- However, this will not work for all missions, since in some missions recruiting is disabled.
