Cheat Code for Antonov (Hydra) in GTA: San Andreas PS2? Doesn't Exist—Must Complete Mission

There is no cheat code to spawn the Hydra (Antonov) in the PS2 version of GTA: San Andreas.

The Hard Truth

• The **Hydra (VTOL jet)** exists in the PS2 game files and spawns at **Verdant Meadows** (desert airfield) **after completing "Vertical Bird"** (Toreno's final mission).
• It also spawns on the **LSPD Helipad (Los Santos)** and **Aircraft Carrier (San Fierro)** at 100% completion.
• No cheat code spawns it. The PC version has a cheat (FLYINGFISH / JUMPJET depending on version), but **Rockstar removed all vehicle spawn cheats from the PS2/Xbox versions** to encourage mission progression.

How to Get It Legitimately (PS2)

1. Complete **"Vertical Bird"** (steal Hydra from carrier, destroy spy boats, return to Verdant Meadows).
2. Hydra now spawns permanently at **Verdant Meadows hangar**.
3. Or reach **100% Completion** for LSPD Helipad + Carrier spawns.

If You're on PC / Mobile / Remaster

• PC (Original): Type JUMPJET or FLYINGFISH during gameplay.
• Definitive Edition (PS4/5, Xbox, Switch, PC): Cheats disabled for Achievements. Use "Cheats Menu" mod or complete mission.
• Mobile: No cheat console. Complete mission.
