GTA 4 cheats are phone numbers: bring up Niko’s mobile, press up to switch to the keypad, and dial the number. The two you will use most are 362-555-0100 (full health and armor, repairs your car) and 267-555-0100 (clears your wanted level). Below are all 31 numbers for GTA IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, each one printed by at least two of the three sources we checked.

Quick answer: GTA 4 cheat phone numbers
- Health, armor and repair:
362-555-0100. - Clear wanted level:
267-555-0100. Add one star:267-555-0150. - Best weapon set:
486-555-0100(baseball bat, combat pistol, combat shotgun, SMG, carbine rifle, combat sniper, grenades, RPG). - Attack helicopter:
359-555-0100(Annihilator). - Same on every platform: all three sources say the numbers are identical on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. None lists a different number per platform, so this page does not either.
- No money cheat: none of the lists we read has one.
How to enter GTA 4 cheats
Open the in-game phone, press up (D-pad up on a controller, the up arrow on a keyboard) to switch to the keypad, enter the number and place the call, according to GTA Zone. A message confirms the cheat. The Grand Theft Encyclopedia (the GTA fan wiki) says that once you have dialled a cheat, it is stored in the phone and appears in the phone’s Cheats menu, so you can redial it without typing it again.
For vehicle cheats, stand outdoors with room around you. GamesRead says some PC players report the wrong vehicle spawning when it cannot be placed near walls or water, and the wiki says a vehicle cheat entered near pedestrians or traffic can make them disappear. Expansion rules: the base-game numbers also work in both episodes, but The Lost and Damned numbers do not work in The Ballad of Gay Tony, and vice versa (wiki and GTA Zone).

Health, armor, weapons and wanted level cheats
These work in GTA IV and in both episodes. The two weapon sets are what the wiki calls "advanced" and "poor"; both refill your ammo. The wiki adds that after you reach 100% completion, dialling a weapon cheat several times gives unlimited ammo.
| Effect | Phone number |
|---|---|
| Full health and armor, repairs your vehicle | 362-555-0100 |
| Health, ammo and advanced weapon set, repairs your vehicle (GTA Zone and GamesRead also list armor) | 482-555-0100 |
| Advanced weapon set and ammo: Baseball Bat, Combat Pistol, Combat Shotgun, SMG, Carbine Rifle, Combat Sniper, Grenades, RPG | 486-555-0100 |
| Poor weapon set and ammo: Knife, Pistol, Pump Shotgun, Micro SMG, Assault Rifle, Combat Sniper, Molotov Cocktail, RPG | 486-555-0150 |
| Clear wanted level | 267-555-0100 |
| Add one wanted star | 267-555-0150 |
| Change the weather (cycles through eight conditions, so dial it again until you like the sky) | 468-555-0100 |
Weather keeps cycling in the order of the game’s weather file, per the wiki. If you want the same trick in a different era, our GTA Vice City cheats list and GTA San Andreas cheats list use button sequences and typed phrases instead.
GTA 4 vehicle cheats: helicopter, boat, cars and bikes
The wiki says each spawn appears in a different colour when you dial it again, except the FIB Buffalo and the Annihilator, which are always black.
| Vehicle | Type | Phone number |
|---|---|---|
| Annihilator | Helicopter | 359-555-0100 |
| Jetmax | Speedboat | 938-555-0100 |
| FIB Buffalo | Muscle sedan | 227-555-0100 |
| Cognoscenti | Luxury sedan | 227-555-0142 |
| Turismo | Supercar | 227-555-0147 |
| Super GT | Sports car | 227-555-0168 |
| Comet | Sports car | 227-555-0175 |
| NRG-900 | Sport bike | 625-555-0100 |
| Sanchez | Dirt bike | 625-555-0150 |
The four car numbers differ only in their last digits, so they are easy to mix up. Check the digits before you call.

The Lost and Damned cheats
Dial these from Johnny Klebitz’s phone in The Lost and Damned. The wiki says the numbers are printed on a flier at the Lost MC clubhouse and on the club’s in-game website, and that none of them block achievements or trophies. They do not work in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
| Vehicle | Phone number |
|---|---|
| Innovation | 245-555-0100 |
| Double T Custom | 245-555-0125 |
| Hexer | 245-555-0150 |
| Hakuchou Custom | 245-555-0199 |
| Slamvan | 826-555-0100 |
| Gang Burrito | 826-555-0150 |
The Ballad of Gay Tony cheats
Dial these from Luis Lopez’s phone. The wiki says these numbers cannot be found anywhere in the game itself. It also says Luis’s version of the advanced weapon set (the same number, 486-555-0100) replaces the base-game one: it gives Knife, Pistol .44, Explosive Shotgun, Assault SMG, Advanced MG, Advanced Sniper, Grenade Launcher and Sticky Bombs. That weapon list comes from the wiki alone, so treat it as one source.
| Effect | Phone number |
|---|---|
| Explosive punches (Luis) | 276-555-2666 |
| Explosive sniper rounds | 486-555-2526 |
| Parachute | 359-555-7272 |
| Buzzard (helicopter) | 359-555-2899 |
| APC (armored vehicle) | 272-555-8265 |
| Bullet GT (supercar) | 227-555-9666 |
| Akuma (motorcycle) | 625-555-0200 |
| Vader (scooter) | 625-555-3273 |
| Floater (boat) | 938-555-0150 |
The wiki says explosive punches switch off if Luis dies or starts a mission or a drug war, and do not work in cage fights. Explosive sniper rounds switch off when you start a mission or a drug war.
Gay Tony adds an APC, a parachute and a boat. AI-generated illustration
Do GTA 4 cheats disable achievements and trophies?
Yes, some of them, and only for the save you are playing. The wiki says restarting and loading a save that never had a cheat entered turns achievements and trophies back on, and that no cheat blocks 100% completion, hurts story progress or corrupts a save. GTA Zone says the same. Our two main sources agree on most of the blocked achievements:
| Cheat | Achievements and trophies blocked |
|---|---|
Clear wanted level (267-555-0100) |
Walk Free, One Man Army |
Annihilator (359-555-0100) |
Walk Free, One Man Army |
Weapon sets (486-555-0100, 486-555-0150) |
Cleaned the Mean Streets |
Health and armor (362-555-0100, 482-555-0100) |
Cleaned the Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army (GTA Zone also lists Walk Free; the wiki does not) |
Spawned cars, bikes and boats from the base-game list not named above do not block anything, per the wiki. The wiki also notes that on Xbox 360, cheats entered while riding in a cab do not block achievements, and that the PS3 version of GTA IV needs its update for trophies to work unless you own Episodes from Liberty City or The Complete Edition. Keep a separate save if you want a clean run.
What about the ZiT number and the ice-cream truck?
948-555-0100 is not a cheat. GTA Zone describes ZiT as an in-game service that tells you the song playing on your car radio. The wiki lists it in a trivia note: if you are in a Mr. Tasty ice-cream truck and cycle the horn jingles until the GTA IV theme plays, calling ZiT refills health, armor and ammo and repairs the vehicle (and blocks the Finish Him achievement). Only the wiki says this, and the wiki itself calls it undocumented.
FAQ
Is there a money cheat in GTA 4?
No. GTA Zone says GTA 4 has no cash cheat, and none of the numbers in the wiki or GamesRead lists give money either.
Do GTA 4 cheats work on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360?
The same phone numbers are listed for all three. GamesRead says the phone method is identical across PC, Xbox and PlayStation, and GTA Zone says the numbers are the same on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Do the cheats work in The Complete Edition on PC?
The wiki says cheats are dialled the same way in GTA IV and both episodes, and its notes cover Episodes from Liberty City and The Complete Edition. GTA Zone says The Complete Edition bundles the base game and both expansions, needs the Rockstar Games Launcher, and changes nothing for single-player cheats.

Checked November 12, 2026, 07:14 UTC: the wiki, GamesRead and GTA Zone were read earlier in this run. Sources: Grand Theft Encyclopedia, Cheats in GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City (read through its public API); GamesRead, All GTA 4 Cheats (April 21, 2026); GTA Zone, GTA 4 Cheat Codes (October 10, 2026). Every number above appears in at least two of these three sources; we did not convert or derive any number. One number that only GamesRead lists (a Banshee spawn) was left out. Rockstar’s own support page was not used.
