How To Enter and Activate Cheat Codes in GTA 3
In order to enter and activate cheat codes in GTA 3, you must first select the cheat code you are looking to enter. With almost 100 cheats available on offer, you'll find cheats that range from infinite ammo, disabling your wanted level, infinite health, item and vehicle spawns, as well as plenty more.
Be warned that Rockstar doesn't recommend saving after using cheats due to potential issues that may hinder further progress. Achievements can be permanently disabled once you've used them too, so it's usually best to reload a previous save after causing cheat-enabled mayhem.
Once you have selected your desired cheat code, simply type the phrase or press the button combinations on your controller while playing the game. These will need to be added in a consecutive manner and rather quickly, if you're too slow, you'll need to re-enter the cheat code.
You will know if the cheat is successful by looking for a pop-up that will appear in the top corner of your screen, which will indicate that the cheat is now active in-game.
