How To Use Cheats in GTA 4
Using cheats in *GTA 4* is straightforward – it's as simple as making a phone call. Just pull out Niko's phone by pressing Up on the D-pad (or the corresponding key on your keyboard). Access the keypad by pressing Up again, then dial the cheat code number and hit Call. The cheat will be activated instantly! Once a cheat is entered, it's saved in your phone under "Cheats," allowing you to reactivate it without redialing.
Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?
Interestingly, *GTA 4* lacks a direct money cheat, unlike some other titles in the series. To amass wealth, you'll need to engage in missions, side missions, and other in-game jobs.
Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies
A key drawback of using cheat codes in *GTA 4* is that they disable achievements on Xbox and PC, and trophies on PS3 for the current session. Any cheat, whether for health, weapons, or vehicle spawning, will prevent you from earning new achievements or trophies until you restart the game.
How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies
If you've used cheats and wish to re-enable achievements or trophies, follow these steps: Save your game, exit *GTA 4*, and restart without activating any cheats. Your achievements and trophies will function normally again, as this only impacts the session where cheats were used. Keep your cheat-filled fun separate from your serious trophy hunting sessions.
Modding in GTA 4
While cheats can enhance your gameplay, mods can revolutionize it. With mods, you can access a wealth of new content, ensuring endless entertainment. Modding *GTA 4* can be challenging, but here's a concise guide to get you started.
