All GTA 4 cheats for weapons, cars, and more
Want guns, cars, and money in GTA IV? Then here are the codes you need to enter
GTA 4 cheats and codes provide shortcuts to speed up Niko's rise to power across Liberty City, with a selection of boosts that give you an instant health and armor refill whenever you need it, along with options to stock up on some of the most powerful weapons without ever having to set foot in an Ammu-Nation store. If you're in need of some wheels then you can spawn in a selection of vehicles by your side, and although there isn't a specific GTA 4 money cheat to rely on you can make extra cash by using this car-creating ability to make rides appear then sell them off, if you're willing to put in the work.
If you want to take control of your game, or just enjoy the chaos you can wreak with unlimited power, then I've got all the GTA 4 cheats you can use listed here. Just remember that some of these disable certain Achievements and Trophies when activated, so bear that in mind if you're targeting the virtual awards.
You'll also want to create a separate GTA 4 save if you're using these cheats, just to be safe – it's unlikely you'll break the game, but it's best to keep your 'main' save clear just in case. There's not as many options, or as crazy potential here as there was with, say, the GTA 3 cheats, but there's still enough to change things up a little and have fun with it.

The word and number versions of each code are the same, they're just using the letters on the keypad to spell out words that match what the cheat does.
If you have The Ballard of Gay Tony DLC installed, then a couple of extra GTA 4 cheats are also available to you:

GTA 4 money cheat
As I mentioned, there's no explicit GTA 4 money cheat to make cash, but you can farm it by spawning certain cars and selling them. To do that you'll need to complete all of Stevie's car theft missions, then once that's done you can sell specific cars by taking them to his S&M Auto Sales garage in Bohan. So to make a lot of money in GTA 4, just spawn and sell cars from this list:
- Sanchez (Dirt Bike) - MBK-555-0150 / 625-555-0150
- NRG900 - MBK-555-0100 / 625-555-0100
- Comet - CAR-555-0175 / 227-555-0175
- Cognoscenti (Mafia Car) - CAR-555-0142 / 227-555-0142
- Turismo - CAR-555-0147 / 227-555-0147
- SuperGT - CAR-555-0168 / 227-555-0168
That list is arranged in ascending cash value, between roughly $1,200 for the dirt bike and $11K for a SuperGT. However, those prices can vary and you may encounter a bug where a slightly damaged car is actually worth more due to the way value is calculated – so go ahead and experiment to see what you can get.
