5 best cheats in GTA 5 Story Mode for beginners

Since the beginning of the GTA series with 1997's Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar has put secret cheat codes in every GTA game which, when activated, allow players to do a variety of things in the open world they normally could.

Cheat codes are a sequence of buttons which when pressed will give players an unfair advantage like special skills, altering game physics, etc.

Cheat codes in GTA 5 range from spawning a helicopter to making players invincible.

Here is our list of the best cheats that beginners should try in GTA 5 story mode.

Note: Using cheat codes will affect mission challenges and will disable trophies for the duration of the game session in which cheats are used.
