| Money cheat | None exists |
GTA V has built-in cheat codes for vehicles, weapons, health and more. You can enter them with the controller, type them on PC, or dial them on your character’s phone. They only work in Story Mode.
Quick answers
Is there a money cheat?
No. No code gives you cash on any platform. The real ways to get rich are the heists and Lester’s stock market tips, which together can reach billions. See how to make money in Story Mode.
What is the helicopter cheat?
The Buzzard Attack Chopper is the one you want. On Xbox it’s B, B, LB, B, B, B, LB, LT, RB, Y, B, Y. On PlayStation it’s Circle, Circle, L1, Circle, Circle, Circle, L1, L2, R1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle. On PC type BUZZOFF, or dial 1-999-289-9633 on the phone. If you’d rather not use a cheat, here’s where to find a helicopter.
How do I get rid of a wanted level?
Use Lower Wanted Level, which takes off one star each time. Enter it once per star, because a single use won’t clear five stars. The code is listed in the tables below.
Does invincibility last?
Invincibility lasts 5 minutes, then you have to enter it again. Max Health and Armor is a one-time refill and works at any time.
How to enter cheats
Xbox and PlayStation: enter the buttons in order during normal play, without pausing. Left and Right mean the D-pad. If it worked, you’ll see a message at the top left of the screen.
PC: press the ~ key to open the cheat box, type the word and press Enter.
Phone: bring up the phone, open Contacts, then press the dial pad button shown at the bottom of the screen. Dial the number and call it. The phone works on PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series and PC, and it also has a few cheats that have no button code.
