Cheat codes are said to be the heaven for GTA players who desire to experience the game in a more interesting way, such as the ability to summon a tank on hectic streets or to have a wallet full of dollars.

What you need to know about cheats in Grand Theft Auto 3

Cheat codes can be easily activated in GTA 3, however, there are some rules to keep in mind: 

First, always save the game before entering the cheat codes. Since it appeared to be quite an age-old game, activating cheat codes without saving can lead to a redo if you want to perform them one more time. Therefore, remember to save to have a backup code in advance.

Since it appeared to be quite an age-old game, activating cheat codes without saving can lead to a redo if you want to perform them one more time.

If you re-enter the code, the game will trigger the cheat and a “cheat deactivated” message will pop up. This is not a very big deal as the cheat normally will continue to work quite well. So, here goes another good reason to save first as you can go back to the saved game where the cheat codes aren’t inserted.

Next, you must NOT save the game at the time the cheat is in use. For GTA 3, this can lead to the corruption of a certain saved file or the current game will be left in a chaotic state. Therefore, we absolutely do not recommend you to do this while you’ve activated a cheat in the game.

Now that the developers have enabled GTA 3 to reach out to popular mobile platforms like iOS and Android, you must also be curious about whether cheat codes can be used on those devices or not.

However, the last answer is not a "No" at all. Unlike cheats for GTA 3 PS2, PS3 or PC, you will instead have to prepare to do some extra tasks, which is to find and download third-party software or app that offers you a keyboard overlay to play the game. In this case, due to safety and reliability, we won't recommend any specific suggestions of what apps to download, but if you’re willing to take risks and be responsible for your decision, just be careful as well!
