Using Cheat Codes in Grand Theft Auto III (PC)

GTA III on PC uses **keyboard-entered cheat codes** during gameplay—no menus, no consoles. They are case-insensitive and activate instantly when typed correctly.

How to Enter Cheats

Load a game (not the main menu).
Type the code **slowly and clearly** on keyboard.
A message "Cheat Activated" appears briefly if successful.

Important Notes

Achievements/Trophies: GTA III PC (original) has none; Steam/Console re-releases may disable achievements while cheats are active.
Save Warning: Saving with cheats active **permanently flags the save**. Some missions may break (e.g., "Marked Man" with flying cars).
Clean Save: Keep a pre-cheat save for missions/100% completion.
Mods vs. Cheats: For deeper changes (new cars, maps, missions), use **mods** (GTA3.IMG mods, CLEO scripts) via ModLoader—safer and more powerful.

Finding More Codes

Search **"GTA 3 PC cheats"** on GTAGarage, GTA Wiki, or CheatCC. Always test on a throwaway save first.
