03 / Step by step

Use them without guesswork

  1. Use free roam

    Leave an active mission before testing wanted-level codes.

  2. Choose direction

    Copy LAWYERUP to reduce a star or FUGITIVE to add one.

  3. Repeat if needed

    Each entry changes one star rather than jumping instantly to zero or five.

  4. Save before chaos

    Keep a clean save if you want unmodified progression and achievements.

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.
