As the Wanted Level, cheat codes are another staple in Grand Theft Auto gameplay. Each installment of the franchise comes with a set of codes for players to cheat their ways through. They basically remove the boundaries of the game, offering a whole different experience.

But today, we'll take a look at just one of the available cheats - GTA 5 Wanted Level cheat PC.

What is Wanted Level in GTA 5?

The Wanted Level is a feature in the Grand Theft Auto series which indicates how much the player is wanted by the Law enforcement forces. Each level is demonstrated by a star. The more star you have, the higher the Wanted Level is. Though this feature appears in all installments of the series, each still has a different take.

Compared to the previous installments, the police force in GTA V is much more aggressive and persistent when chasing down the perpetrator. The devs enable the AI to cross obstacles as well as introduce new methods to apprehend the players.

The Wanted Level in GTV 5 spans from 1 to 5, with 1 star being the lowest - the "minor crime", and 5 stars being the highest. Committing crimes repeatedly (murder, retaliate against law enforcement, rob a bank,...) will result in an increase of your Wanted Level.

So you can commit a series of crimes and immediately drop the stars to zero. Or you can live on the edge and play "hot pursuit" with the maximum level on your heads.
