Here are all GTA 4 PC cheats for the base game, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Every code is entered through the in-game phone and works in the corresponding part of Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition.
Unlike GTA 5, GTA 4 does not use words typed into a PC cheat console: its built-in cheats are phone numbers.
If you play on PC with a controller, press Up twice on the D-pad instead.
Achievement warning: Certain cheats temporarily prevent specific achievements from unlocking during the current session. Create a separate manual save before entering any code. After using cheats, fully quit the game and load your pre-cheat save before attempting an affected achievement.
The following codes work in the GTA IV base game. They can also be used in both episodes; the additional episode-exclusive codes are listed separately below.

TBoGT weapon-set note: In this episode, 486-555-0100 gives the episode-specific advanced set: Knife, Pistol .44, Automatic Shotgun with explosive rounds, Assault SMG, Advanced MG, Advanced Sniper, Grenade Launcher and Sticky Bombs. The health, armor and ammunition code 482-555-0100 instead supplies the original GTA IV advanced set: Baseball Bat, Grenades, Combat Pistol, Combat Shotgun, SMG, Carbine Rifle, Combat Sniper and RPG. It does not give the TBoGT-specific set.
TBoGT mission-score warning: The following nine phone cheats explicitly invalidate a scored story-mission attempt: 362-555-0100, 482-555-0100, 486-555-0100, 486-555-0150, 267-555-0100, 276-555-2666, 359-555-0100, 359-555-2899 and 272-555-8265. For reliable Past the Velvet Rope and Gold Star progress, replay the mission from the beginning without cheats.
Only the codes marked in the tables temporarily block specific achievements during the current session. The affected achievements are Cleaned The Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army and Walk Free. Fully quit the game and load a pre-cheat save before attempting any of them.
The current PC version includes 55 Steam achievements: 40 for GTA IV, five for The Lost and Damned and 10 for The Ballad of Gay Tony. The former Games for Windows – Live multiplayer achievements are not included because GFWL, official multiplayer and leaderboards were removed from the current PC release in 2020.
See our complete GTA 4 Steam achievements guide for all 55 requirements, missable tasks and troubleshooting advice.
The following numbers are useful, but they are services rather than cheat codes:
| Phone number | Effect |
|---|---|
911, then 1, 2 or 3 | Calls the police, an ambulance or the fire department. |
948-555-0100 | Uses ZiT to identify a supported song currently playing on the radio and sends the artist and title by text message. ZiT is saved as a phone contact, not in the Cheats menu. |
Reaching 100% completion removes the normal ammunition purchase and carrying limits. Ammunition still costs money and is consumed when fired, so this is not true infinite ammo. In the unmodified PC version, ammunition held above the normal limit may also be reduced after loading a save.
No. GTA 4 has no official phone code that gives Niko, Johnny or Luis money.
No. There is no invincibility cheat in GTA 4. You can repeatedly use 362-555-0100 for health and armor or 482-555-0100 for health, armor, ammunition and weapons, but neither makes the character invulnerable.
The GTA IV base game has no tank. Dial 272-555-8265 in The Ballad of Gay Tony to spawn the APC armored vehicle; the number does not work in Niko's base-game story.
Yes. These phone numbers work in the current PC Complete Edition. Base-game codes work in GTA IV and both episodes, while TLAD and TBoGT exclusive codes only work in their corresponding episode.
No. GTA 4 has no infinite-ammunition phone code. Reaching 100% removes the normal ammunition limits, but bullets are still consumed and must still be obtained or purchased.
Most codes apply a one-time effect and do not need to be switched off. To clear active cheat effects and restore access to affected achievements, fully quit the game and load the manual save you created before using cheats.
