San Andreas cheats

Cheat codes are part of San Andreas folklore — instant health and armour, any weapon you like, wild weather, flying cars, a tank on demand. Here's how they work, some of the classics, and where to find the complete verified lists.

How to enter them

PC (original): just type the code during normal play — no menu, no need to pause.
PlayStation / Xbox: enter a button-and-trigger combination on the controller.
Mobile & the Definitive Edition: the method and some of the codes differ, and a few classic cheats behave differently or aren't present — use a list made for your exact version (linked below).

Some of the classics (original PC codes)

HESOYAM — full health & armour, plus $250,000.
BAGUVIX — semi-infinite health.
LXGIWYL — a full weapon set.
ASNAEB — clear your wanted level; AEZAKMI — never wanted at all.
ROCKETMAN — jetpack.
AIWPRTON — spawn a Rhino tank.
CHITTYCHITTYBANGBANG — cars can fly.

Save first. Cheats aren't stored in your save, but some permanently affect stats or block achievements in certain versions, and a few can break a mission that's already in progress or corrupt a running script — keep a separate save slot for messing around.
