GTA 4 Cheats: Every Phone Number Worth Knowing
GTA 4 cheats explained: how the phone cheat system works, the health, armour, weapons and wanted numbers, and what cheats do to your save.
CONTENTS On this page
GTA 4 moved cheats into the fiction: every code is a phone number dialled on Niko's mobile. Once dialled, the number is stored in the phone's cheat menu for good. Here is how the system works on the GTA IV APK edition, and the numbers worth memorising.
How phone cheats work
Open the phone, bring up the keypad and dial the number digit by digit. A confirmation appears, the effect applies instantly, and the cheat is saved into the phone menu under its category, so later uses take two taps instead of a full dial. Health and armour refills, weapon sets, wanted level up or down and vehicle spawns all run through this one system.
Cheats are best treated as toys for free roam and experiments. Dialling the health refill mid mission is the community's open secret for the hardest jobs, but purists should know the next section before they dial anything. GTA 4 Wanted System covers the honest way to lose the police.
The essential numbers
Health, armour and ammo refill: 362-555-0100. Weapons set one, the street set: 486-555-0100. Weapons set two, the professional set: 486-555-0150. Remove wanted level: 267-555-0100. Add a wanted star: 267-555-0150. Change the weather and time: 468-555-0100.
Vehicle spawns include the FIB Buffalo at 227-555-0100, the Turismo at 227-555-0147, the Super GT at 227-555-0168 and the Annihilator helicopter at 359-555-0100. Spawned cars appear beside Niko if the street has room, which in Algonquin is its own minigame. For earning the honest way instead, see How to Make Money in GTA 4.
What cheats cost you
On the original releases, certain cheats blocked a handful of achievements and trophies tied to the feats they replace, like finishing with full health. Story progress itself is never blocked, saves are never marked dirty, and nothing about the city changes permanently.
Our standing advice: finish the story clean once, because its difficulty is part of its meaning, then turn Liberty City into a toy box on the second run. The phone makes that second run very easy to start.
Quick Answers
Where do I dial cheats in GTA 4?
On Niko's mobile phone. Open the phone, go to the keypad, dial the number and call. It saves into the phone's cheat menu afterwards.
What is the health cheat number?
362-555-0100. It refills health, armour and ammunition in one call, and it is the most used number in the game.
Do cheats stop the story working?
No. Missions, saves and endings all work normally. Only a few original achievement style honours were affected by specific cheats.
Is there a money cheat in GTA 4?
No direct money number exists. The community answer is the health and weapons cheats saving you hospital and ammo costs, plus the methods in our money guide.
