GTA 4 Cheats: Every Phone Number, DLC Included
Every GTA 4 cheat is a phone number. There are no button combinations: you take out Niko Bellic’s phone, dial one of the 555 numbers below and call it, and the effect kicks in. That goes for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The main game has 16 numbers, seven for gameplay and nine for vehicles, and the two episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, add their own on top. There is no money cheat.
Every number here appears identically in GTA Wiki and GamesRadar’s list, and each one spells a word on the keypad, which makes them easy to remember: GUN-555-0100 for weapons, COP-555-0100 for the police, CAR-555 for cars, FLY-555 for aircraft.
How to use them
Bring up the phone, open the keypad, dial the number, then call. A cheat you have dialled once is stored in a Cheats menu on the phone, so you can trigger it again from there without retyping. The same system applies to Johnny Klebitz in The Lost and Damned and Luis Lopez in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Cheats do not stop you reaching 100% completion and do not damage save files. Some of them do block specific achievements and trophies on the save where you use them, listed in the tables below from GTA Wiki’s records. To get those back, load a save on which the blocking cheats were never used.
Gameplay cheats
| Effect | Number | Spells | Blocks (per GTA Wiki) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refill health, armour and ammo, repair vehicle, advanced weapons | 482-555-0100 | GTA-555-0100 | Cleaned the Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army |
| Refill health and armour, repair vehicle | 362-555-0100 | DOC-555-0100 | Cleaned the Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army |
| Advanced weapons set | 486-555-0100 | GUN-555-0100 | Cleaned the Mean Streets |
| Basic weapons set | 486-555-0150 | GUN-555-0150 | Cleaned the Mean Streets |
| Clear wanted level | 267-555-0100 | COP-555-0100 | Walk Free, One Man Army |
| Raise wanted level by one star | 267-555-0150 | COP-555-0150 | none |
| Change weather | 468-555-0100 | HOT-555-0100 | none |
The advanced set is a baseball bat, combat pistol, combat shotgun, SMG, carbine rifle, combat sniper, grenades and an RPG. The basic set swaps those for a knife, pistol, pump shotgun, micro SMG, assault rifle, combat sniper, Molotov cocktails and an RPG. The weather cheat steps to the next weather condition each time you call it.
A hidden refill: the Mr. Tasty trick
GTA Wiki documents one more route to full health, armour and ammo that is not on any official list. Drive a Mr. Tasty ice cream van, cycle through its jingles with the horn until the GTA 4 theme plays, then call ZiT, the song-identification service, on 948-555-0100. Everything refills and the van is repaired. It counts as a cheat all the same: the wiki notes that it blocks the Finish Him achievement.
Vehicle cheats
Dial these outside or while already in a vehicle, and the ride appears next to you.
| Vehicle | Number | Spells | Blocks (per GTA Wiki) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annihilator (attack helicopter) | 359-555-0100 | FLY-555-0100 | Walk Free, One Man Army |
| Cognoscenti (luxury saloon) | 227-555-0142 | CAR-555-0142 | none |
| Comet (sports car) | 227-555-0175 | CAR-555-0175 | none |
| FIB Buffalo (unmarked police car) | 227-555-0100 | CAR-555-0100 | none |
| Jetmax (speedboat) | 938-555-0100 | WET-555-0100 | none |
| NRG 900 (sports bike) | 625-555-0100 | MBK-555-0100 | none |
| Sanchez (dirt bike) | 625-555-0150 | MBK-555-0150 | none |
| Super GT (sports car) | 227-555-0168 | CAR-555-0168 | none |
| Turismo (sports car) | 227-555-0147 | CAR-555-0147 | none |
Calling the same vehicle several times gives it a different colour each time, except the FIB Buffalo and the Annihilator, which always arrive in black. The Annihilator is the pick of the list if you want to see Liberty City from above.
The Lost and Damned cheats
Johnny’s episode adds six vehicle numbers, all bikes and vans from the biker world. According to GTA Wiki, none of them blocks an achievement, and neither do the main game’s cheats when used in this episode. In the game itself, the list appears on a flyer at the Lost MC clubhouse in Acter.
| Vehicle | Number | Spells |
|---|---|---|
| Innovation (motorcycle) | 245-555-0100 | BIK-555-0100 |
| Double T Custom (motorcycle) | 245-555-0125 | BIK-555-0125 |
| Hexer (motorcycle) | 245-555-0150 | BIK-555-0150 |
| Hakuchou Custom (motorcycle) | 245-555-0199 | BIK-555-0199 |
| Slamvan (van) | 826-555-0100 | VAN-555-0100 |
| Gang Burrito (van) | 826-555-0150 | VAN-555-0150 |
The Ballad of Gay Tony cheats
Luis’s episode goes further, with combat cheats alongside the vehicles. Its advanced weapons number reuses GUN-555-0100 but hands out the episode’s own arsenal instead of the main game’s.
| Effect | Number | Spells |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced weapons (knife, Pistol .44, explosive shotgun, assault SMG, advanced MG, advanced sniper, grenade launcher, sticky bombs) | 486-555-0100 | GUN-555-0100 |
| Explosive punches | 276-555-2666 | ARM-555-BOOM |
| Explosive sniper rounds | 486-555-2526 | GUN-555-BLAM |
| Parachute | 359-555-7272 | FLY-555-PARA |
| APC | 272-555-8265 | APC-555-TANK |
| Buzzard (attack helicopter) | 359-555-2899 | FLY-555-BUZZ |
| Bullet GT (sports car) | 227-555-9666 | CAR-555-ZOOM |
| Akuma (sports bike) | 625-555-0200 | MBK-555-0200 |
| Vader (sports bike) | 625-555-3273 | MBK-555-FARE |
| Floater (boat) | 938-555-0150 | WET-555-0150 |
Explosive punches switch off if Luis dies or starts a mission or a drug war, and they cannot be used in cage fights. Explosive sniper rounds also switch off when a mission or drug war starts.
Which game uses which numbers
The main game’s numbers work in both episodes, including on the Episodes from Liberty City and Complete Edition releases. The episodes’ numbers stay locked to their own episode: The Lost and Damned codes do nothing in The Ballad of Gay Tony, and the reverse is also true.
The numbers are the same on every version, from the original PS3 and Xbox 360 release of April 29, 2008 to the PC version that followed that December, and to the Xbox 360 edition that has run on Xbox One through backward compatibility since February 2017.
GTA 5 kept the phone idea but changed the format entirely. Its numbers start with 1-999 and are not stored on the phone; our GTA 5 phone cheats guide lists them all, and the complete GTA 5 cheats guide adds the button codes. If you are heading back to Liberty City, our GTA 4 map guide walks through its boroughs.
Frequently asked questions
How do you enter cheats in GTA 4?
Take out Niko's phone, bring up the keypad, dial the number and call it. There are no button combinations in GTA 4: every cheat is a phone number, on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC alike. Once dialled, a cheat is saved in a Cheats menu on the phone.
Is there a money cheat in GTA 4?
No. None of the phone numbers gives cash. GTA 4 cheats cover health, armour, weapons, wanted level, weather and vehicles only.
Do GTA 4 cheats disable achievements?
Some do, on that save file. The health, weapons, clear wanted level and Annihilator cheats block specific achievements, while most vehicle cheats and the weather cheat block nothing. Loading a save that never had those cheats restores them.
Do GTA 4 cheats work in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony?
Yes. The main game's numbers work in both episodes. The episodes' own numbers only work in their own episode, and never in the main game.
