GTA IV Cheat Codes: Every Phone Number for PC, PS3, Xbox 360
GTA 4 cheats are dialed on Niko's phone. Every cheat code phone number for weapons, health, armor, wanted level, weather, and vehicles on PC, PS3, Xbox 360.
GTA 4 cheats work differently from every game before it: instead of typed letter codes or button combos, you dial them as phone numbers on Niko Bellic's in-game cell phone. The same GTA IV cheat codes phone numbers are identical across PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, so one list covers every platform. Below are the exact numbers for weapons, health and armor, wanted level, weather, and vehicle spawns, plus the catch that makes most players think twice before using them.
How to enter GTA 4 cheats on the phone
Cheats in GTA IV are dialed, not typed. To open the dial pad, bring up Niko's phone and press up to switch to the keypad, then enter the number and hit call. On PC the phone opens with the up arrow; on PS3 and Xbox 360 it is the up direction on the d-pad. When a code takes, a "Cheat activated" message appears in the corner.
Every number follows the same ten-digit phone pattern with a 555 middle block, the classic film and game stand-in for a fake exchange. Once you dial a cheat once, it is saved in the phone's Cheats menu, so you can re-trigger it later without retyping the full number.
GTA 4 weapons, health, and armor cheats
These are the survival staples. Dialing them refills Niko on the spot.
- Full health and armor: 362-555-0100
- Full health, armor, and weapons: 482-555-0100
- Weapons set 1: 486-555-0100 (baseball bat, pistol, shotgun, MP5, M4, sniper rifle, RPG)
- Weapons set 2: 486-555-0150 (knife, Molotovs, pistol, shotgun, Uzi, AK-47, sniper rifle, grenades)
The two weapons numbers differ by only the last three digits, so dial carefully. The 482-555-0100 code is the all-in-one option: it tops up health and armor and hands over a weapon loadout in a single call.
GTA 4 wanted level cheats (raise and remove)
Liberty City's police are relentless, and these two numbers let you turn the heat up or shut it off entirely.
- Remove wanted level: 267-555-0100
- Raise wanted level: 267-555-0150
Removing your wanted level clears stars immediately, which is the fastest way to bail out of a hopeless six-star chase. Raising it is handy if you want to deliberately summon a police response for a rampage or a stunt clip.
GTA 4 change weather cheat
There is a single weather code, and it cycles the conditions each time you call it:
- Change weather: 468-555-0100
Dial it repeatedly to rotate through sun, clouds, rain, and fog until Liberty City looks the way you want for a screenshot or a drive. For the kind of shots this sets up, see the GTA IV screenshots gallery.
GTA 4 vehicle spawn cheat codes
Vehicle cheats drop a specific car, bike, boat, or helicopter next to Niko. These cover a helicopter, a boat, two bikes, and a spread of cars from sports machines to a luxury sedan.
- Annihilator (attack helicopter): 359-555-0100
- FIB Buffalo (unmarked sedan): 227-555-0100
- Cognoscenti (luxury sedan): 227-555-0142
- Turismo (sports car): 227-555-0147
- SuperGT (sports car): 227-555-0168
- Comet (sports car): 227-555-0175
- NRG-900 (sport bike): 625-555-0100
- Sanchez (dirt bike): 625-555-0150
- Jetmax (speedboat): 938-555-0100
The four cars share the 227 prefix and split on the final digits, while the two bikes share 625. The Annihilator is the standout: it is a military-style chopper with mounted miniguns, and 359-555-0100 is the quickest way to get airborne firepower without hunting for one across the city. The Jetmax at 938-555-0100 is the one boat in the set, useful for crossing the rivers between Liberty City's islands in a hurry.
Do GTA 4 cheats disable achievements?
Yes, with limits. Using certain cheats blocks specific achievements and trophies rather than locking the whole list. Spawning weapons, refilling health and armor, clearing your wanted level, and calling in the Annihilator are the kinds of cheats that disable progress toward affected achievements in the session where they are used.
The safest habit is to save your game before experimenting, then reload that clean save if you plan to chase 100 percent completion or the platform achievement set. Cheats do not corrupt the save in GTA IV the way some older builds risked, but a cheated session is not the one you want feeding your trophy progress.
Do GTA 4 cheat codes work in the episodes?
They carry over. The GTA IV cheat phone numbers also work in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, the two Episodes from Liberty City expansions. You dial them the same way on Johnny Klebitz's or Luis Lopez's phone. The reverse is not true: the extra episode-only cheats added in TLAD and TBoGT do not function back in the base GTA IV game.
That overlap means one cheat sheet covers all three storylines on the same disc or install. For the full per-platform reference, including the episode-specific additions, check the GTA IV cheats page.
