| Invincibility | PAINKILLER | 1-999-724-654-5537 | Makes you immortal for 5 minutes |

For PC players, activating cheats involves two primary methods. The console command method requires pressing the tilde key (~) on US keyboards or the ¬ key on UK keyboards to open the command console. Once opened, type the cheat code in all capital letters exactly as shown in our lists below. The alternative method involves using the in-game phone by pressing the up arrow key, selecting contacts, and dialing the corresponding phone number starting with 1-999 followed by the specific code digits.
PlayStation users can enter cheats through button combinations or phone numbers. For button combinations, input the sequence quickly during gameplay without pausing. The combinations must be entered precisely and rapidly for the game to recognize them. Alternatively, press up on the D-pad to access your phone, navigate to contacts, press Square to open the dial pad, and enter the phone number codes listed in this guide.
Xbox players follow similar methods to PlayStation users. Button combinations should be entered quickly during active gameplay using the controller. The phone method works identically across all platforms – press up on the D-pad, access contacts, press X to open the dial pad, and input the numerical codes beginning with 1-999.
These cheats modify your character’s abilities and provide gameplay advantages that make exploring Los Santos more entertaining and less challenging.
This cheat grants complete invincibility for exactly five minutes. During this period, you cannot take damage from bullets, explosions, falls, or vehicle crashes. However, you must reactivate the cheat after the timer expires, making it essential to watch the clock during extended gameplay sessions.
Instantly restores your health bar to maximum capacity and provides full body armor. This cheat proves invaluable during intense firefights or when escaping law enforcement. Unlike invincibility, this provides a one-time restoration rather than ongoing protection.
Each protagonist possesses unique special abilities – Franklin’s driving focus, Michael’s bullet time, and Trevor’s rage mode. This cheat instantly refills the special ability meter, allowing immediate reactivation of these powerful skills.
Significantly increases your character’s running speed, making on-foot exploration and escape sequences much easier. The enhanced speed applies to all movement types except swimming.
Boosts swimming speed dramatically, helping you explore underwater areas and escape aquatic dangers like sharks more effectively.
Enables extraordinary jumping ability, allowing you to leap onto buildings and over obstacles. Hold the jump button longer for increased height. Combine with the parachute cheat for safe landings from extreme heights.
Simulates intoxication effects, causing stumbling movement and blurred vision. While entertaining for casual exploration, this cheat significantly impairs driving and combat effectiveness.
Transform combat encounters with these powerful weapon modifications and enhancements.
Provides every weapon in the game with maximum ammunition. This includes the Sawed-off Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, SMG, Pistol, Grenades, RPG, and Knife. Perfect for creating chaos or preparing for difficult missions.
Every bullet fired creates an explosion upon impact, turning any firearm into a devastating explosive weapon. Extremely effective against vehicles and groups of enemies.
Ammunition ignites targets on fire, causing ongoing damage. Particularly effective against unarmored enemies and creating environmental chaos.
Punches and melee attacks create explosions on contact. Must have no weapon equipped for this cheat to function properly.
Slows time while aiming, providing precision targeting similar to Michael’s special ability. Enter the code up to four times for increased effect, with the fifth input deactivating the cheat.
Control your interactions with law enforcement using these essential cheats.
Reduces your wanted level by one star, helping escape police pursuit. Multiple uses can completely eliminate wanted status.
Increases wanted level by one star, useful for creating action-packed scenarios or testing combat skills against law enforcement.
Instantly spawn various vehicles for transportation and entertainment throughout Los Santos.
Spawn Comet (Sports Car)
Spawn Rapid GT
Spawn PCJ-600 Motorcycle
Spawn Sanchez Dirt Bike
Spawn BMX Bike
Spawn Buzzard Attack Helicopter
Armed with missiles and machine guns, the Buzzard provides aerial superiority and rapid transportation across the map.
Spawn Stunt Plane
Spawn Duster Crop Plane
Spawn Limo
Spawn Golf Caddy
Spawn Trashmaster
Alter the game’s physics and environmental conditions for unique gameplay experiences.
Cycles through nine weather conditions: sunny, clear, cloudy, smoggy, overcast, rainy, thundery, clearing, and snowing. Each activation advances to the next weather type.
Reduces gravity significantly, allowing vehicles to float and jump higher. Press Circle/B/Space after jumping with vehicles to glide through the air.
Makes all vehicles slide as if driving on ice, creating challenging but entertaining driving conditions perfect for drifting.
Slows down the entire game world. Input three times for maximum effect, with the fourth activation returning to normal speed.
Teleports you high into the sky for a freefall experience. Note that parachutes cannot be used with this cheat active – to survive, aim to land head-first into the ground or a wall.
Equips a parachute instantly, essential for safe landings from aircraft or after using the super jump cheat.
These special cheats only work on newer versions of GTA 5 (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC). Additionally, you must complete specific requirements to unlock them before they become available.
Unlock requirement: Complete the “Duel” random event by stealing the Duke near the Route 68 gas station close to the Los Santos Customs garage. Defeat the pursuing enemies to unlock this heavily armored muscle car.
Unlock requirement: Complete the “Wildlife Photography Challenge” by photographing all 20 different animal species in GTA 5 using the in-game Snapmatic camera.
Unlock requirement: Complete the “Sea Plane” random event located east of the Altruist Camp near RON Winds. Find the mountainside cove to begin this event.
Allows you to create custom scenarios using different characters, locations, and environmental settings. Perfect for creating cinematic experiences or testing various game mechanics.
Using any cheat code in GTA 5 immediately disables achievements and trophies for your current gaming session. This restriction cannot be reversed by simply deactivating the cheats. To resume earning achievements, you must reload a save file created before activating any cheats. Always create a manual save before experimenting with cheat codes to preserve your progress.
Several cheats, particularly invincibility and weapon spawns, automatically deactivate during missions and organized activities. Attempting to activate these cheats during missions displays the message: “Cheat denied: Not available on a mission or pastime.” If you enter a mission with cheats active, they deactivate automatically to maintain game balance.
Even when cheats work during missions, using them prevents earning anything higher than a Bronze medal rating. For players pursuing 100% completion or Gold medal achievements, avoid using cheats during any mission attempts.
All cheat codes are completely disabled in GTA Online to maintain fair competitive gameplay. Attempting to use third-party modifications or exploits in GTA Online can result in permanent account bans. These cheats function exclusively in single-player Story Mode.
No money cheat exists in GTA 5. Rockstar Games intentionally excluded money cheats to protect the game’s economy, particularly regarding GTA Online’s Shark Card system. Players seeking additional funds should complete missions, participate in heists, manipulate the in-game stock market, or find hidden packages throughout Los Santos.
The invincibility cheat provides exactly five minutes of complete damage immunity. After expiration, you must re-enter the code to maintain invincibility. Setting a timer helps track when reactivation is necessary during extended gameplay sessions.
While GTA 5 features vehicles inspired by Lamborghini designs (such as the Pegassi Vacca and Zentorno), no cheat codes spawn these specific vehicles. These high-end cars must be purchased through in-game websites or found in specific locations throughout Los Santos.
Vehicle spawn cheats require adequate space for the vehicle to appear. If standing in a confined area or indoors, move to an open space before entering the spawn code. Large vehicles like aircraft need significantly more room than cars or motorcycles.
Yes, you can save your game with cheats active, but doing so may permanently affect that save file’s ability to earn achievements. Always maintain a “clean” save file without any cheat usage for achievement hunting and serious progression.
Phone number cheats function identically to button combinations and PC console commands. The phone method often proves more convenient, especially for controller users who struggle with rapid button sequences. All methods produce identical results.
Yes, most cheats stack and work together. For example, combining invincibility, explosive bullets, and super jump creates an incredibly powerful character. However, some cheats may conflict – using skyfall while having a parachute equipped can cause issues.
Most toggle cheats deactivate by entering the same code again. For progressive cheats like weather or slow motion, continue entering the code to cycle through all effects until returning to the default state. Alternatively, loading a previous save or restarting the game removes all active cheats.
This appears to be an intentional design choice by Rockstar. To survive skyfall without invincibility active, aim to land head-first into the ground or a wall, which paradoxically prevents death in the game’s physics engine.
The core cheat list remains consistent across all platforms. However, the Enhanced and Expanded editions (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) include exclusive vehicle cheats requiring specific unlock conditions not available in PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
Combining specific cheats creates unique gameplay experiences. Try pairing invincibility with explosive punches for unstoppable melee combat, or combine moon gravity with the BMX spawn for incredible stunt opportunities. Super jump paired with slow motion aim allows Matrix-style aerial combat sequences.
Rather than immediately lowering wanted levels, consider using the escalating police presence for combat practice. The lower wanted level cheat works incrementally, allowing precise control over police aggression. This proves useful for testing weapon modifications or practicing escape techniques.
Los Santos International Airport provides the ideal location for testing spawned vehicles. The long runways accommodate aircraft, while the open tarmac offers space for car stunts. Security fencing prevents civilian interference during vehicle experiments.
Director Mode combined with various cheats enables creation of custom gameplay scenarios. Set specific weather conditions, adjust physics, and spawn vehicles to design unique challenges or cinematic sequences. This feature essentially provides a sandbox within the sandbox.
While official speedruns prohibit cheats, creating personal challenge runs using specific cheat combinations offers entertaining alternatives. Try completing the story using only melee with explosive punches, or navigate Los Santos exclusively via super jump.
Ensure you’re entering codes quickly enough – the game times out if inputs are too slow. For button combinations, avoid pausing between inputs. PC players should verify the console opens properly and that codes are typed in all capitals without spaces.
During certain missions or cutscenes, phone access is restricted. Complete the current objective or advance the story to regain phone access. If the phone remains inaccessible, reload a previous save or restart the game.
Move to a more open area with flat ground. Vehicles cannot spawn on steep slopes, in water, or in confined spaces. For aircraft, the Vespucci Beach or Sandy Shores Airfield provide ideal spawning locations.
Some cheats have time limits or specific conditions. Invincibility expires after five minutes, while vehicle modifications reset when entering new vehicles. Maintain a list of active cheats to track which need reactivation.
GTA 5’s extensive cheat code system transforms an already expansive game into a limitless playground for experimentation and entertainment. Whether you’re seeking assistance with challenging missions, exploring creative gameplay possibilities, or simply causing chaos in Los Santos, these cheats provide the tools for enhanced enjoyment.
Remember to save your game before activating cheats to preserve achievement progress, and experiment with different combinations to discover your favorite gameplay modifications. With over 35 different cheats available across all platforms, plus exclusive options in the Enhanced editions, GTA 5 continues offering new experiences even years after its initial release. As we await GTA 6’s arrival in 2026, these cheats ensure Los Santos remains an endlessly entertaining destination for virtual mayhem and creative expression.
