Story Mode only · no Online cheats

01 / First check

Use the right mode and method

Use the control bindings shown in your game because PC keyboard and controller layouts may differ. Practice in an open area.

PC wordOpen the cheat console with ~ in Story Mode, type the word, and press Enter.
Phone numberOn PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series, and PC, open the in-game phone dial pad and call the listed number. Older consoles need button combos.
Before testingSave in a clean slot. Cheats may block achievements or trophies for the current session.

03 / Step by step

Use them without guesswork

  1. Start with space

    BUZZOFF supplies a Buzzard in Story Mode, but find a large flat spawn area first.

  2. Lift into a hover

    Increase power slowly and pause above obstacles.

  3. Translate with small tilts

    Pitch forward for movement and use yaw to align the nose; avoid full-stick inputs near buildings.

  4. Land deliberately

    Slow horizontal travel, level the helicopter, then descend straight onto clear ground.

Important: There is no built-in money or yacht cheat. Story Mode cheat codes do not work in GTA Online. Reload a clean save when you want normal achievements and physics.

04 / Common questions

Quick answers

Why does the helicopter spin?

Yaw input or overcorrection can build rotation; release the control and correct gently.

Is there an invincible helicopter cheat?

No built-in one; PAINKILLER affects the character temporarily, not aircraft damage.

Do these cheat codes work in GTA Online?

No. The copyable codes on this page are for GTA V Story Mode only.

Can using cheats affect achievements?

Yes. Save before entering cheats and reload a clean save when you want normal trophy or achievement progress.

Why might a vehicle not appear?

An active mission, insufficient open space, or an unmet unlock condition can block a spawn.
