A guide detailing every weapon related cheat code in Grand Theft Auto 5, for all platforms.
As impressive as video games can be, sometimes we want to be able to throw off the shackles of balanced game design and engage in some good old fashioned godlike behavior. Thankfully for fans of GTA V, the game is filled with fantastic cheats that you can use to turn the single player version of the game into a true sandbox of destruction. Before we get stuck into the codes, there are a couple of important things to note about these cheats.
First up, they can only be used in the singleplayer mode, and will not work in GTA Online. Secondly, they are things that have been put in the game by the developers themselves, so you will not get in any trouble for enjoying some cheat fueled shenanigans. Finally, they are just cheats, not mods, and as such nothing needs to be downloaded to take advantage of them.
How To Input Cheats In GTA 5
To use these cheats, all you have to do is use the controller to input them on PlayStation, or Xbox. On PC, just hit the tilde button and then enter the relevant cheat. If you like, you can use your in-the game phone to dial the cheat number, which is a novel way to do it.
Now that all that is out of the way, let’s have a look at the cheats for weapons in GTA V, to get you properly kitted out for your next in-game adventure. I’ll also cover the cheats that impact combat in other ways, such as health, or abilities.
GTA 5 Cheats: Weapons and Combat
Spawn All Weapons
One of the most basic cheats for any game that allows you to get up to no good, Spawn all Weapons will populate your Weapon Wheel with everything the game has to offer in the way of destructive potential. They will all have full ammo too, so prepare to have a lot of fun with this one.
