Five most useful cheat codes in GTA V

The gaming world got all they ever wished for when GTA V was launched. GTA V has been selling the way hot dogs sell in New York. And while many are yet to get their hands on to the game, masses have already tried and tested the game.

Now, there’s an age old saying that cheat codes make GTA games better. Whether it is true or not, remains to be seen. However, keeping in mind the difficulty level of Rockstar’s newest offering, it won’t be a bad move to keep the following cheats handy.

Wanted Level

This had to be the first one. If you have just started playing the game, there is a good chance that you have had your maiden run-in with the cops, considering the fact that the cops are much more dynamic in GTA V, than in any of the previous versions.

Even the smallest of issues can tick them off and whether you mean it or not, they will chase you and they will shoot at you.

So, what could be our best bet if we are to enjoy some cop-free bashing? The following cheat:

Lowering Wanted Level

PS3: R1, R1, Circle, R2, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left

XBOX 360: RB, RB, B, RT, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left

And in case you are bored out of your guts and do not mind a running in with the cops, you can use the following cheat:

Raising Wanted Level

PS3: R1, R1, Circle, R2, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right

XBOX 360: RB, RB, B, RT, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right

Max Health and Armor

One of the most famous cheats makes its way back to GTA V.

You are battling with the cops, or crooks, and they get the better of you. Your health is declining and you do not have an armor. Also, you are outnumbered and their bullets are getting the better of you.

Now, in such a situation, some of us might give in and accept the inevitable death, or arrest. But not a GTA player. He types in the following cheat code and not only is he rewarded with a full health, but also an additional armor. Way to go!

PS3: Circle, L1, Triangle, R2, X, Square, Circle, Right, Square, L1, L1, L1

XBOX 360: B, LB, Y, RT, A, X, B, Right, X, LB, LB, LB

Flaming Bullets

Do you know what’s better than bullets? Flaming bullets.

That’s right! A bullet can only damage a person at a time. But when you have flaming bullets, you can damage the person, the person next to him and the person on the other side of him and his car and more. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?

When the person gets hit with a flaming bullet, he/she does not only die, he/she slowly burns to death, providing that all valuable extra sadistic pleasure to a maniac like you.

How do you get the flaming bullets? Simple, type in the following cheat:

PS3: L1, R1, Square, R1, Left, R2, R1, Left, Square, Right, L1, L1

XBOX 360: LB, RB, X, RB, Left, RT, RB, Left, X, Right, LB, LB

Recharge Special Ability

Those of you have played the GTA V must be familiar with the term ‘Special Ability’. The latest version of the franchise provides each of the playable characters with a special ability.

For example, if you are playing with Trevor, your special ability is to lose your nut and go on a rampage, killing everyone and anyone who dares walk past you.

Similarly, the other two characters, Michael and Franklin, have their special abilities as well. These special abilities are in limited quantity and can be re-filled throughout the game. However, if you are a bit of a lost nut like Trevor and you hate to wait, just type in the following cheat code and your special ability will be magically re-filled.

PS3: X, X, X, R1, L1, X, Right, Left, X

XBOX 360: A, A, X, RB, LB, A, Right, Left, A

Invincibility

Openly, or secretly, we all want to play god. GTA V gives us just the opportunity to do so. Yes, you read that right. You can play god in GTA V.

When you enter the following cheat code, nothing, and I mean nothing, can kill you. Not a bullet, not an explosion and definitely not punches, and above all, you also survive massive drops from the sky.

There is one tiny downside to this, which is that the god mode wears off after five minutes. You have to enter the whole code again to restart the invincible mode. And don’t try to be smart, do not enter the code while you are already on the invincible mode as that will deactivate it and not extend the time limit.

So, ready to play god?

PS3: Right, X, Right, Left, Right, R1, Right, Left, X, Triangle

XBOX 360: Right, A, Right, Left, Right, RB, Right, Left, A, Y
