GTA 4 Cheats Liberty City Codes Complete List

Requirements for GTA 4 cheats

Before the first attempt at GTA 4 cheats, check off these:

• ☐A separate save slot if you care about trophies or mission medals
• ☐A quiet moment - cheats cannot be entered during cutscenes
• ☐In GTA V: the in-game phone for number-based codes
• ☐Story mode only - cheats are disabled in GTA Online

The exact method

Start to finish, the way Alex Rivera does it:

Before you start: a separate save slot if you care about trophies or mission medals; in GTA V: the in-game phone for number-based codes.

1. Pause the game and confirm you are in story mode - cheats never work in GTA Online and entering them there does nothing.
2. If a code fails, re-enter it slowly; most failures are a single missed input in longer strings.
3. Save to a separate slot after testing cheats so your main save keeps achievements enabled.
4. Reload the save (not just the mission) to re-enable trophies and medals.

Where a step depends on your platform, the platform notes below spell out the difference.

The data behind GTA 4 cheats

The table below is the reference point for the rest of this guide.

Dial from the in-game phone; the numbers save to the phone log for reuse.

227-555-0147 and 362-555-0100 are the rows we check first after every update; when either moves, this page is revised.

Figures like these move when Rockstar patches, which is why the last-checked date sits at the top of the page.

Quick glossary: GTA 4 cheats

A short glossary for GTA 4 cheats:

• Console command - The typed word entered after pressing tilde on PC
• Session - The period from loading a save until you load another; cheats affect trophies for the session
• Cheat string - The sequence of button presses that triggers a cheat on console
• Phone cheat - A 1-999 number dialed on the GTA V in-game phone
• Director Mode - GTA V's sandbox mode with built-in cheat toggles

If something breaks

When GTA 4 cheats does not behave, it is usually one of these:

Trophy did not unlock after reloading

Make sure you loaded a save made before cheats were entered, not an autosave created after.

Console on PC will not open

The tilde key is bound to the key below Escape; on non-US layouts use the key in that physical position.

Phone says number not recognised

Include the leading 1-999 and check for a missing digit; the phone needs the full string.

Small things that matter

Tips we wish someone had told us earlier:

1. Enter a weather code repeatedly to cycle through all conditions including snow.
2. Rockstar leaves a few cheats unlisted; the ones in our table are all verified on the current build.
3. Cheat effects clear when you load a save, so you can test freely then reload.

Ranked approaches

The GTA 4 cheats approaches we would actually recommend, and who each suits:

World codes

Weather and slippery-car codes change the whole feel of Los Santos; snow plus moon gravity is a community favourite.

Movement codes

Super jump, fast run, moon gravity and Skyfall are the fun ones - combine super jump with moon gravity for huge air time.

Combat codes

Max health and armor, weapons and ammo and invincibility turn Rampages and the Big Score into a stress-free playthrough.

Vehicle spawns

The Buzzard, Comet and Rapid GT spawn in front of you; spawn vehicles before leaving a safehouse to skip the drive.

Claims we tested

We checked the most repeated claims about GTA 4 cheats:

Pair this section with GTA Vice City car spawn cheat if you are planning a full session.

What is at stake

Cheats turn a frustrating mission into a sandbox: spawn a Buzzard, drop the wanted level, or try moon gravity just to see what happens.

• ✗Expecting a money cheat in GTA V - there isn't one; use the stock market instead
• ✗Using Skyfall without a parachute (it is designed to be survivable only if you land head-first)
• ✗Entering PlayStation strings on Xbox (the shapes map to letters but the shoulder buttons differ)

What GTA 4 cheats actually means

GTA 4 cheats work the same way they have since GTA III: enter a sequence and the effect applies instantly. What changed is how you enter them - button strings on console, typed words on PC, and phone numbers through the in-game cell phone in GTA V.

Codes do not exist in GTA Online, so this is strictly a story-mode toolset - which is why there is no risk attached.

Rockstar has never removed GTA 4 cheats - they still work on the latest Enhanced builds - but they do disable trophies and mission medals for as long as the save session runs.

Cheats turn a frustrating mission into a sandbox: spawn a Buzzard, drop the wanted level, or try moon gravity just to see what happens.

Bottom line

We would rather you leave with three facts and a method than twenty opinions; that is what the sections above on GTA 4 cheats were built to deliver.
