PlayStation Cheat Codes and Secrets
Looking for some cheats to help you explore (or cause chaos) in the world of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? You've come to the right place, as IGN's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Wiki guide contains a complete list of all PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5 cheats codes, as well as a helpful guide on how to input them into the game. Please note, this guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox, PC, and PS5.
How To Enter and Activate Cheat Codes in GTA San Andreas
Unlike more modern Grand Theft Auto games that rely on the phone as a hub for cheats, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas requires the player to input the code while playing the game. There's no cheat screen and you can't input the codes via the pause menu.
Once you know the code you want to input, press the correct sequence of buttons in quick succession while in-game. If the cheat was successful, you'll get a small pop-up in the left-hand corner of the screen as well as a brief audio cue. With that done, you'll be ready to enjoy whichever cheat you've entered.

No Easter Egg
Fly up to the southern support beam of the Gant Bridge with the jet pack for a special message.
Glitch: Zap The Hood
When attempting the takeover of a hood, exploit the game by looking for a nearby body of water deep enough for CJ to actually swim in.
Get into the water then swim back out and a message will appear claiming that the hood is yours.
Inside-Out-Town
Note: This will corrupt your save file due to the cheat involved; for best results, pull out your PS2 memory card prior to your attempt.
- Go to the gym in Ganton
- Kill all 4 people inside.
- Use the jetpack cheat.
- Walk to the yellow marker with the jetpack, and fly straight up. You'll go straight up through the roof. Now, land on the roof.
- Fly 2 blocks east, and you'll see a yellow marker. Land right on/near the marker, take off the jetpack, and walk inside the marker.
- You'll enter the Angel Pine Motel building. Grab your jetpack (if you see it), or respawn it again with a cheat.
- You can now fly up, and around the interior universe.
Bullet Proof Cars
During the mission "High Stakes, Low Rider", keep the competition closely behind you until the pier finish line. Once the race is over the other cars appear behind you.
With another car or by just walking, push Ceasar's red car up the pier and over the edge of the sidewalk into your nearby safe house garage to the left. What's the point of all this? Not only is it a pimp red car, it's also BULLET PROOF, which helps a lot this early in the game.

Quick Hood Defence
While playing the game, your hood will undergo attacks from other factions. To save yourself some time and end these disaster quickly, simply jack any vehice in which you can access extra missions using R3 (i.e., police vehicles, fire vehicles, taxicabs, ambulance, et al.). Start and end the extra mission (press R3 and exit the vehicle) and your hood will no longer undergo attack.

Hint - 2P Select-A-Drive-By-Shooting
During co-op, you can use the weapon codes to alter the weapon used for drive-by shooting. Once you have a "normal" drive-by weapon, expend all the ammo and select a different weapon (rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and grenades are invalid).
Board a vehicle with the selected weapon and input any weapon cheat again (refills ammo). The weapon you selected will now be usable for drive-by mode.
