All GTA Vice City Cheats: Unlock Weapons, Vehicles, and More!

Content

Although some elements of the game have changed in the remastered version of GTA: Vice City, Rockstar Games has added cheats for old-time players who want to relive some of their favorite moments from the past. Want to make GTA Vice City more fun? Or simply want to pass its missions with greater ease? Regardless of your motive, there's no denying that cheats can help.

This article will list all the cheats in GTA Vice City and will reveal details about how they work, regardless of whether you’re playing the old version of the game or a modern one.

What Are GTA Vice City Cheats Capable Of?

Although older than GTA 4, Vice City features much more cheats. As a result, you'll be able to do more things than in other GTA titles with fewer cheats to choose from. You can spawn any vehicle, change the weather to your preference, add weapons, play in slow motion, and even make everyone attack you. But unfortunately, they can't help you with the infamous RC helicopter mission, so good luck with that.

One of the most popular GTA Vice City cheats - PANZER, which spawns the tank

GTA Vice City Cheats Tips and Tricks

Just like for other GTA games, you should always create a new save file before using any cheat and use that save file only when you want to activate cheats. This is because enabling any cheat will disable the trophies and achievements, or even "break" the game.

In addition, some cheats cannot be disabled, and if you activate them, that means you'll have disabled trophies and achievements all the time. Lastly, all the cheats that we're about to reveal can also work in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

How To Use Cheats in GTA Vice City?

To use GTA: Vice City cheats, you can simply type the cheat code on a keyboard or a controller, depending on your platform. Just remember that you won't be able to do so during the cutscenes or from the pause menu.

GTA Vice City cheats can do many things, and spawning a race car is just one of them

Bonus: Using GTA Vice City Cheats on a Mobile Device

This is a less-known fact, but you can actually use the cheats on mobile devices too! However, keep in mind that you should be careful, as using too many cheats on a mobile device can, in some cases, significantly reduce the frame rate and make the game unstable.

Although it's not as simple as using them on a PC or console, it's still easily achievable if you follow these few steps.

Make sure to connect an external keyboard to your smartphone, tablet, or even a smart TV. You can do this using a cable (if available) or Bluetooth connection. Furthermore, you can also download an app called Hacker's Keyboard (available on Android devices only), allowing you to use a virtual keyboard even while playing the game.
Just in case, create a new save game, as using the cheats will disable achievements even on mobile devices.
Enter the desired GTA Vice City cheat code (from a PC cheat codes list) using your physical/virtual keyboard.
