Cheats in The Ballad of Gay Tony are phone numbers. Bring up Luis’ phone, open the keypad, dial the number and press call. Once used, a cheat is saved in the phone’s Cheats menu so you can pick it again without dialing. The episode’s own cheats are not written anywhere in the game, unlike the vehicle numbers in The Lost and Damned.

Things to know
- The Lost and Damned’s cheats do not work here, and these do not work there.
- After you reach 100%, dialing the weapons cheat repeatedly fills every weapon to unlimited ammo, matching the 100% reward. The unlimited ammo is lost when you reload the save.
- The phone can not be used during a cage fight, and any active explosive punch cheat switches off when a fight starts.
- Using cheats does not lock you out of 100% completion.
