Rockstar state that this game does not support cheats. It does however have all the cheats built in from the PC version, but it needs a keyboard to type them in. On an Android tablet such as the Asus Transformer Prime it has a detachable keyboard dock allowing you to simply type the codes in at will, but with phone its not so easy.. This works on some phone, but I cannot say it will work on all.. Simply hold down the MENU button on your phone for the keyboard to popup allowing you entry of the codes. All codes can be typed either in the pause menu or in-game.Effect Code 100% Armor Tortoise 100% Health gesundheit Better vehicle handling cornerslikemad Change Outfit ilikedressingup Clear Weather skincancerforme Clock Moves Faster timeflieswhenyou Cloudy Weather ilikescotland Crank Up Gore nastylimbscheat Destroy all cars bangbangbang Flying vehicle chittycittybb Foggy Weather peasoup Get All Weapons (Keep using to add ammo) gunsgunsguns Higher Wanted Level morepoliceplease Insane Pedstrians itsallgoingmaaad Invisible Cars anicesetofwheels Lower Wanted Level nopoliceplease More Money (Keep using for more cash) ifiwerearichman Pedestrians Attack nobodylikesme Pedtrians Fight One Another weaponsforall Rainy Weather ilovescotland Spawn Vehicles (Keep using for different vehicles) giveusatank Speed up Gameplay boooooring Super-speedy Game Clock madweather
Glitches
Almost infinite sprinting PC
Instead of holding down the sprint button, tap it rapidly and you will be able to run alot further before getiting tired.Blood in modified PAL (German) version
Just set your console and the game language to English, this allows you to play the game without censorship.
Now you can also hit opponents while they are on the ground, a feature that was removed from the German version.Drive a Blown-Up Car
Get into a car. Drive in front of the desired car (to keep it front driving away) that you would like to drive after it's been blown up. THE CAR MUST HAVE SOMEONE IN IT. Walk up to the driver's side door. Enter the ''Blow up all cars'' code. While entering the code, Mr. GTA (or whatever his name is) will pull the driver out of the car and then get into it as it's blowing up and somehow he will not die. But as soon as you are in the car, enter the Health Code to extinguish the flame. It might not work the first time, so keep trying and eventually it will work.Drive Without Traffic PS4
Whenever you want to drive without the threat of traffic, just change the camera to be in the top-down view! Traffic will not spawn (save for police vehicles when you're wanted), allowing you to drive unimpeded.Drive Without Traffic
Whenever you want to drive without the threat of traffic, rapidly change the camera viewpoints. Changing the camera like this can despawn the cars in traffic, making it easier to drive faster.
Furthermore, you can also continuously look behind while driving. If you know the roads well, this can also help since traffic generally won't spawn where you can't see it. (Of course, both tricks don't work for most police cars if you have a wanted level.)Easy Kill in Vigilante Missions
Start a Vigilante mission. Once you get near the suspect's car. Hit pause, and then un-pause it. The suspect will jump out of the car for no reason. Now you can run them over.FBI CAR PC
Steal an FBI car and take it to paint and body. Get it fixed and when you hit the button to turn on the lights while moving, it will have hydros and jump over other cars.Firetruck Missions: Infinite Timer PS4
During the firetruck missions, if you put out the fire as the clock hits zero, the timer will disappear. (The timing is somewhat precise and may take a few tries.) If done successfully, this will allow you to continue playing the firetruck missions with infinite time, making your job a lot easier.Get into the subway when it's blocked.
Near the Traid Gang area, there is a subway entrance that is blocked off. It has stairs leading down to it. There is a ramp that causes you to fly over the small gap. But if you drive up very slowly then you will fall of the ramp and land on the stairs. If you done this correctly then you should go through the cage. You will now be in the subway. You will now be able to either take a train to another island or drive your car to another island through the subway. This glitch works well with a Police car or a Taxi.Get to Shoreside Vale once you have access to Staunton Island PC
Before you start, make sure you have armor and your health is at 100. Drive to the subway down the street from your house save location and drive your car down the ramp and onto the subway tracks turn right and stay on the left side of the track so the subway doesn't hit you. Keep going until you see on the screen 'St. Francis Airport' drive up to the point where the tunnel has a curve park your car on the left side of the tracks, and get out and go to the right side and hug the wall as tight as you can and wait for the subway to come. Once it comes, let it hit you and you might have to move to the right a little once it hits you so that you go through the wall or sometimes you'll fall through the floor. You should see your character falling through this green or blue screen and then the loading screen should come up and say 'Welcome to Shoreside Vale'. You'll fall right outside or near the airport.
Note: If you die you'll go back to Staunton Island.Get to Staunton and Shoreside without any cheats. PC
Get an ambulance and drive to the entrance to the Porter Tunnel. Park the ambulance on the left footpath right up against the blue barrier (back facing the barrier). Now jump on top of the ambulance and then jump again. You will end up in "Blue Hell" on top of the tunnel. Now jump over the barrier and continue to run but make sure to stay on the far left side. Keep running following the tunnel to the left until you hit an invisible wall now simply fall off and you will drop from Blue Hell onto Staunton Island a little north of the hospital. To get to Shoreside from here simply take the Porter tunnel as there is no barrier blocking you (the barrier is still in Portland).This works 100% on the PS2 however on the PC 50% of the time you may need a grenade and full armour as you may get stuck on top of the ambulance so you will need the grenade to blow the ambulance to knock you above the tunnel. Enjoy!
Get to Staunton Island at the very beginning of the game. PC
If you want to go to Staunton Island, but don't want to have to complete the missions in portland, then first enter the code chittychittybb. Next, steal a police car and head onto the broken freeway. Go as fast as you can and when you reach the broken part your car will begin to hover. All you do now is just make sure you don't land in the water and then you're in Staunton Island without completing any missions.Get To Third Island
At the first island drive your car towards the tunnel that blocks off the third and second island. Park the car right next to the blue wall and blow it up. You should be blown through into the third or second island.Getting Into Unlocked Parts of the City
By using the ''Jumping Cars'' trick, you can access other parts of the city you can't in the beginning of the game, from the broken down bridges. Just go to the bridge you want to cross, and use the ''Jumping Cars'' trick when your just about to hit the edge of the bridge. You will then cross the bridge safely (might take a try or two), and be able to try out some new city life!Ghost Ship
When you're doing the mission on Staunton Island for Ray Machowski called ''Gone Fishing'', you're supposed to kill the guy on the boat. If you stand on the shore with your sniper rifle and shoot him as he goes by, he may turn the wrong direction and beach himself.
If you shoot him as he's standing on the shore, the boat remains. Press the Triangle button as you would to get into any other boat, and press the Square button like you're reversing. The boat won't go too far, but if you keep holding the Square button down, eventually you can get back into the water, assuming the boat doesn't flip.
The boat handles REALLY well, goes pretty fast, and goes by the title of ''GHOST Missing''. If you dock it and shoot it to make it explode, it does explode, but it still remains as though it's new. You can't really see yourself inside the boat, as it was never meant for you to drive anyways.
Little thing, but it's fun.Heal vehicle
Enter the full health cheat (R2, R2, L1, R1, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up) while in a vehicle and that vehicle's damage will be repaired. The visual damage will remain but the vehicle's condition will be as if it were new.Hospital to Shoreside Vale
If you want to get to the third Island and haven't earned it, you can ''fall'' into the underground passage. You'll need the Car Handling Cheat entered (R1 L1 R2 L1 left R1 R1 Triangle) and an esperanto. You must have an Esperanto - it's the only car that will jump high enough. First, get to the hospital in Staunton Island. then, go to the parking lot and go as fast as you can towards the Hospital. Make sure that you are on the left side of it... It's hard to do it without doing that. Jump onto the platform above the Hospital ''Entrance'' and go slowly straight to the square-looking wall. Go into it turning right, and go forward. You should fall out of the world and land in the underground passage. Turn right and go quicly to the beauty of Shoreside Vale. If you hit a blue wall, turn around and go.Infinite Time for Fires in Fire Truck Missions!!!
To exploit this glitch it's just a matter of putting the fire out as the clock is going to hit 0. If done correctly, the timer will disappear allowing infinite time to cruise to the next fire.Infinite Time in the Offroad Missions PS4 PC
This glitch applies to the missions Gripped!, Multistorey Mayhem, Patriot Playground, and A Ride in the Park. These are optional missions you can start by entering specific vehicles around Liberty City, and have the premise of collecting a set of checkpoints before a timer runs out.
In each of these missions, collect a checkpoint just as the timer reaches 0:00 - the timing can be rather precise and may take several tries. If done at just the right time however, the timer will disappear and you will have unlimited time to complete the rest of the mission!Instant Completion of 100 Taxi Fares
For this glitch, you need to be able to do the mission "Ciprani's Chauffer" (a mission by Joey in Portland in the early part of the game). Bring a Taxi or Cabbie to the mission. While in the car, start holding the button to start the mission (R3 on PS2 and PS4, and whatever your side-mission key is on PC).
Continue holding it, and leave your vehicle. Start the mission and after the cutscene you'll be in control of a Mafia Sentinel. Continue holding the mission button as you drive to the laundromat in Chinatown. Park in the mission marker and watch the cutscene that occurs. After the cutscene, begin driving off to avoid being dragged out of the car, and release the mission button. A few secondes after this, you'll receive a message on your pager about the Borginine taxi being unlocked, confirming you have done the glitch correctly and tricked the game into believing you've managed to do 100 fares!More cars in the garage
Go to any garage that can fit two or more cars in. When It is full, get another car right up next to the door, and get out. Press triangle as the door is going up, and hit X fast to get the car in. You might have to move the cars in the garage around, but it's possible to get up to 6 cars in any given garage.Reset Radio Station Track
Press the START button, go to the Audio menu, select the station you want to reset, then press the START button and press left or right to change the menu while the pause menu dissapears. For some reason, the radio station you selected will reset. You will notice the station track reset if you are in a car.Run in the Sky
Take an ambulance to the top of Marco's Bistro in the St. Mark's area. It takes a bit of work, but you should be able to get it up the stairs eventually. Now, slowly back it up so that it almost rolls over the edge of the little wall, but not all the way. Now (quickly) find a car on the street and bring it in front of the ambulance so that you can jump on the ambulance's hood and then roof. While on the roof, jump towards the brick wall of the building. You should end up on an invisible ledge or roof and you can run around quite a large area before the invisible ground ends. Tip: Use a gun that you can aim manually to shoot the "ground" in front of you a bit. If there are sparks, then it's safe to walk, and if there aren't any than you will fall if you try to walk there.Taxi Missions: Use Any Car! PS4
When you're in a Taxi or Cabbie, about to engage the taxi side-mission, press and hold R3. Continue holding down R3 and then leave the car and enter another, all the while holding R3. When you're in the other car (to the point the radio starts playing), release R3 and you can use this vehicle instead of the Taxi/Cabbie! Particularly noteworthy ones include sports cars such as the Banshee, Cheetah, and Infernus (for their high speed), and durable vehicles (such as the Coach, Firetruck, and Rhino).Unlimited time in Taxi Missions PC
Start a Taxi Mission, pick up someone, and drop em' off. Now, go to pick someone else up, but make sure they don't get in your taxi until the time is at exactly 0 seconds left. The timer should disappear, but the passenger will not leave your vehicle. You can now continue doing taxi missions without the timer, until you quit the mission or blow up your cab.Use any car for taxi missions
Get into a taxi, hold down the R3 button. Exit the taxi and step into another car, release the R3 button and you should be able to do taxi mission in the car you are currently in.Vigilante Missions: Easy Kill PS4
As you near the car the suspect drives in the Vigilante side-missions, pause and unpause gameplay. The suspect will leap out of their car for no reason, making it easy to run them down.Wear prisoner outfit
You need a saved game for this. Start a new game, and after the beginning cutscene load your other game. You'll have everything, but you'll still be wearing a prisoner outfit.

Easter Eggs
Hidden message
On the second island (Staunton Island), go to the left of the main entrance of the car park that was used in the Kingdom Come mission. Go up the stairway you find up the alleyway with a car and park the car by the wall to the right. The wall is too high to jump on so you will need the car. Jump on the car, then on the wall and you will be on a flat roof. Jump off the wall to the area where you see all the metal fire escape stairways and look around. You will then see a message on one of the walls that reads: “You werent supposed to be able get here you know”.Moon Trick

Get a normal car and cruise the streets until you find a hooker drive up next to her (make sure she is standing next to the drivers door) and she will talk to you for a couple of minutes then she will walk around to the other side of the car and get in. Drive to a dark place (an alley, your hideout etc.) and park the car but do not get out. The car will start shaking and your health will go up. Then you have two choices:
1)Stay still and let her get out then beat her up to get your money back, or
2) tap the gas right before she gets out then park the car and watch the car start shaking again which saves time since it costs a dollar a second when she is in the car.moon cheat PC
When the moon is visible at night you can shoot it with your sniper rifle to make it grow larger or shrink.No More Gang Warz PC
In some missions the objective is to kill members of certain gang. These obviously makes the gang anrgy at you and when you drive or run by the gang members they will shoot and try to pull you out of your car. This can be changed by going in to the program files of your GTA game. In this folder is a sub-folder called data. In this folder is a file called pedstats.dat. Open this in Word or Notepad. In this document you can change the stats of every ped in the game. the ones you are looking for is gang 1-7. As the doc suggests if you change their fear(100 is good), temper(0 is good) and lawfullness(100 is good). Careful you might want to backup this file incase you mess up or want to revert back to the old way it was.Repair damaged vehicles
Damaged vehicles can be repaired free at any hideout by parking the vehicle in your garage and get out of the car, leave to let the door close then return and any cars in your garage will be repaired.Run Forever

Codes can still be entered while the game is paused (at the menu screen). Hit Esc to pause the game, then type the codes desired. The codes' effects will take place once you unpause. This trick does work for entering multiple codes at once, and is especially useful when you must enter codes quickly.Vigilante Bonus: Police Bribes
While not doing a normal mission, get into a law enforcement vehicle (Police Car, Enforcer, FBI Car, or Tank) and press R3. In this mode you must chase down criminals and kill them.

Codes
Nintendo Switch - GTA III Cheats NS
All cheat codes have to be entered in a steady pace during gameplay. (non paused)
If you can't get the cheats to work....try inputting it a little faster.
If you still cant get the codes to work swap the control method to classic and input them.
