Here are all GTA 4 cheats for Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, including phone codes for health, armor, weapons, wanted levels, weather and vehicles, plus every exclusive code from The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
GTA 4 uses phone numbers rather than controller button combinations. These Xbox 360 codes also work when the game is played through backward compatibility on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. There are 31 built-in codes across the three campaigns: 16 in the base game, six exclusive to The Lost and Damned and nine exclusive to The Ballad of Gay Tony.
For a vehicle code, stand outside in a clear area before making the call. Entering the number while inside a vehicle can save the code without spawning anything.
Achievement warning: Create a separate manual save before entering any code. Six base-game cheats temporarily block specific achievements during the current session. Fully quit the game and load a clean pre-cheat save before attempting an affected achievement.
These 16 codes work in the GTA IV base game and can also be used in both episodes. Codes exclusive to the episodes are listed separately below.

Use these numbers while standing outside with enough open space for the vehicle to appear. Spawning another vehicle with a cheat may cause the previously spawned vehicle to disappear.

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 episode-exclusive codes do not directly block TBoGT achievements. However, 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.
The base-game codes marked in the tables can temporarily block Cleaned The Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army or Walk Free during the current session. Published sources disagree about whether the TBoGT Buzzard code 359-555-2899 also affects One Man Army and Walk Free, so treat it as unsafe. Fully quit the game and load a clean pre-cheat save before attempting any of these achievements.
Grand Theft Auto IV and its two episodes contain 65 Xbox achievements worth 1,500 Gamerscore.
| Content | Achievements | Gamerscore |
|---|---|---|
| GTA IV base game | 50 | 1,000G |
| The Lost and Damned | 5 | 250G |
| The Ballad of Gay Tony | 10 | 250G |
| Complete set | 65 | 1,500G |
Ten base-game achievements require ranked multiplayer. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S use the original Xbox 360 achievement list through backward compatibility, so there is no separate achievement stack on newer consoles. See the complete GTA 4 Xbox achievement guide for every requirement and Gamerscore value.
The GTA IV base game has no tank. The NOOSE APC is an armored personnel carrier available only in The Ballad of Gay Tony; it is not a Rhino tank. There are three ways to obtain it:
272-555-8265 on Luis's phone to spawn an APC.The 50 TBoGT seagulls are separate from the 50 seagulls in The Lost and Damned and the 200 Flying Rats in the GTA IV base game.
The following numbers are useful 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. Because of an old game bug, ammunition held above the normal limit may also be reduced after loading a save.
Yes. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S run the Xbox 360 version through backward compatibility, so the same phone codes and controls apply. A physical copy requires a console with a compatible disc drive; an all-digital console requires digital ownership.
No. Unlike several earlier GTA games, GTA IV uses numbers dialed on the in-game phone rather than controller button combinations.
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.
No. GTA 4 has no infinite-ammunition phone code. Reaching 100% completion removes the normal ammunition limits, but ammunition is still consumed and must still be obtained or purchased.
Yes. The codes work in the corresponding game or episode included in the Xbox 360 Complete Edition. Base-game codes work across GTA IV and both episodes; TLAD and TBoGT exclusive codes work only in their respective episodes.
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.

Warning: Visiting www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com sets the wanted level to five stars once Algonquin has been unlocked; earlier in the story, the result is capped at four stars. The wanted level appears after leaving the in-game browser. See the complete list of all 114 GTA IV in-game websites for every available address.
Take a helicopter from Higgins Helitours in Fishmarket South, Algonquin, and fly to the Statue of Happiness on Happiness Island. Land or jump onto the statue's upper pedestal, then find the door beneath the plaque reading No Hidden Content This Way. Walk through the apparently solid door and climb the ladder inside to find the giant beating heart suspended by chains.
If a damaged vehicle's engine stalls, bring up the phone and call any number—911 is the quickest option—to restart it. This is a glitch that only restarts a stalled engine; it does not repair the vehicle or prevent a severely damaged vehicle from failing again.
