Unlock the City: Essential GTA 4 Cheats (PC, Xbox, PS3)

Grand Theft Auto IV: A Cheat Code Compendium for Enhanced Gameplay

While GTA IV may lack the unrestrained chaos of its sequel, GTA V, its cheat codes still offer a potent injection of fun. This guide provides a comprehensive list of GTA IV cheat codes for various platforms, enabling you to spawn vehicles, boost health, and unleash explosive mayhem. All codes are entered via Niko's in-game phone, functioning identically across all platforms.

Cheat Code Breakdown:

Health, Armor, and Weapons:

Wanted Level Manipulation:

Vehicle Spawning:

Miscellaneous:

Activating Cheats:

Accessing cheats is as simple as making a phone call. Open Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent keyboard key), access the keypad (Up again), dial the code, press Call, and the cheat activates. Entered cheats are saved under "Cheats" in the phone for easy reactivation.

Important Considerations:

• No Money Cheat: Unlike other GTA titles, GTA IV lacks a dedicated money cheat.
• Achievement/Trophy Impact: Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. Saving, closing, and restarting the game restores normal functionality.
• Modding: While cheats enhance gameplay, modding offers significantly expanded possibilities. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be more complex.

Modding GTA IV (A Brief Guide):

1. Preparation: Back up game files and ensure GTA IV is updated.
2. Script Hook Installation: Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract, and copy files to the GTA IV directory.
3. Mod Download: Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods, carefully researching and downloading mods.
4. Launch: Mods typically load automatically; check mod descriptions for activation instructions.

Remember to always exercise caution when downloading mods to avoid malware.

GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
