Vice City accepts cheat codes at any time during play, including from the pause menu. Type the word on your keyboard with no spaces. The codes below are grouped by what they do, and none of them is needed for 100%. If you want weapons without a code, see Weapons for the ones the story hands you, and Vehicles for cars worth spawning.

Health, armor and weapons

These codes refill Tommy and hand over weapon sets. Entering a weapon cheat several times in a row gives infinite ammunition.
