GTA 5 has loads of loyal players, but even these guys like to cheat now and again. Things got a bit out of hand recently, though, with cheaters and hackers upsetting the natural balance of the game, causing Rockstar to do some dawn raids and put the cheaters into a special lobby.
The 1.09 patch came out to kill DNS hacks which gamers had been exploiting in GTA Online. How many cheats has Rockstar killed off, then?
The list of GTA cheats is long, and it’s taken a long time to comb through it to see which codes still do the business. There’s a new patch coming as well, so even more codes will suddenly be disabled.
These are a few of the cheats that do still work:
Gamers wanting a Buzzard helicopter with all its weapons can try the following: Circle(2), L1, Circle(3), L1, L2, R1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle.
Gamers wanting to bring down their wanted level can try this: R1(2), Circle, R2, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left. This cheat makes it a lot easier to dodge the police.
Cheats are fun but remember that once you activate them, trophies can’t be collected, so save your game before enabling cheats.
The cheats given above work on the Xbox 360 and its controller. If you play GTA Online on the PS3 you can try the following:
Substitute Square for X
Circle for B
Triangle for Y
Cross for A
