GTA 4 cheats and codes

GTA 4 cheats and codes can help to speed up your take over of Liberty City, by patching up Niko with health and armor whenever you like, as well as grabbing a selection of powerful weapons and fixing your vehicle in times of need. You can also spawn in various vehicles if you need an instant ride around town, and while there's no specific GTA 4 money cheat available you can use your knack of making cars appear from thin air to farm cash by selling them off, so extra cash is available with a little work.

If you want to take control of your game, or just enjoy the chaos you can wreak with unlimited power, then I've got all the GTA 4 cheats you can use listed here. Just remember that some of these disable certain Achievements and Trophies when activated, so bear that in mind if you're targeting the virtual awards.

You'll also want to create a separate GTA 4 save if you're using these cheats, just to be safe – it's unlikely you'll break the game, but it's best to keep your 'main' save clear just in case. There's not as many options, or as crazy potential here as there was with, say, the GTA 3 cheats, but there's still enough to change things up a little and have fun with it.

  • Full health, armor, vehicle repair, and advanced weapons - GTA-555-0100 / 482-555-0100

The word and number versions of each code are the same, they're just using the letters on the keypad to spell out words that match what the cheat does.

If you have The Ballard of Gay Tony DLC installed, then a couple of extra GTA 4 cheats are also available to you:

  • Explosive Punches - ARM-555-BOOM / 276-555-2666

GTA 4 money cheat

GTA 4 money cheat

As I mentioned, there's no explicit GTA 4 money cheat to make cash, but you can farm it by spawning certain cars and selling them. To do that you'll need to complete all of Stevie's car theft missions, then once that's done you can sell specific cars by taking them to his S&M Auto Sales garage in Bohan. So to make a lot of money in GTA 4, just spawn and sell cars from this list: 

  • Sanchez (Dirt Bike) - MBK-555-0150 / 625-555-0150
  • NRG900 - MBK-555-0100 / 625-555-0100
  • Comet - CAR-555-0175 / 227-555-0175
  • Cognoscenti (Mafia Car) - CAR-555-0142 / 227-555-0142
  • Turismo - CAR-555-0147 / 227-555-0147
  • SuperGT - CAR-555-0168 / 227-555-0168

That list is arranged in ascending cash value, between roughly $1,200 for the dirt bike and $11K for a SuperGT. However, those prices can vary and you may encounter a bug where a slightly damaged car is actually worth more due to the way value is calculated – so go ahead and experiment to see what you can get.
