GTA 3 cheats on PC are text codes you type while playing. For example, type GUNSGUNSGUNS for all weapons, GESUNDHEIT for full health, and IFIWEREARICHMAN for $250,000. On PS2 and consoles, you press button combos instead. Below are the codes for PC, PS2, console, and mobile.
We checked every code against at least two cheat guides. If the guides disagreed, we used the version that two of them matched.
Quick Facts
- PC: Type the code on the keyboard during play. Codes are not case-sensitive.
- PS2 and console: Press the button combo during play.
- Money cheat: Yes, IFIWEREARICHMAN adds $250,000
- Trophies: Cheats lock trophies on that save, so use a separate save

How Do You Enter Cheats in GTA 3 on PC?
Type the code while you are playing. Do not do it in a menu or when the game is paused. A message pops up when the cheat turns on. Save your game first. Some codes can mess up missions, even after you turn them off.
How Do You Enter Cheats on PS2 and Consoles?
Press the buttons in order during play. Do not pause the game. The PS2 combos below also work on the Definitive Edition for PlayStation. Looking for a classic to finish? See the San Andreas 100% requirements.

Yes. IFIWEREARICHMAN adds $250,000. The PS2 combo is in the weapons, health, and money table above.
Do Cheats Affect Trophies and Progress?
Yes, on newer versions. GTABase says cheats permanently disable trophies on that PS4 or PS5 save file. Game Informer also says cheats lock some trophies and achievements.
- Keep one clean save with no cheats.
- Do your cheating on a copy of that save.
- Save before you type any code, in case a mission breaks.
What Changed in the Definitive Edition?
Most original cheats still work. Rockstar said a few were removed for technical reasons, and it did not list them.
- Not in the Definitive Edition: invisible cars (ANICESETOFWHEELS), more gore (NASTYLIMBSCHEAT), and speed up time (MADWEATHER), according to GamesRadar.
- New: Big Head Mode, entered with a controller.
Can You Use Cheats on Mobile?
Yes, on the Definitive Edition for mobile. We used a TouchArcade guide from December 2023, so the steps may have changed.
- Tap the map in the corner of the screen.
- Tap Options, then open the Accessibility tab.
- Tap “Enter Cheat Code” and type the PC code on the on-screen keyboard.
You can also use a controller and enter the console combos. Curious how GTA 3 compares? Read where it ranks among all GTA games.
