Complete Grand Theft Auto III PC & Console Cheat Database
Activate any of the following verified cheat codes during active gameplay in Grand Theft Auto III. You do not need to open a console command line or pause the game—simply type the letters on your keyboard while controlling Claude on foot or behind the wheel. A prompt reading "Cheat Activated" will appear in the top-left corner upon successful registration.
| PC Cheat Code | Effect & Detailed In-Game Mechanics | Category |
|---|---|---|

| TORTOISE (or TURTOISE in v1.0) |
Restores Body Armor back to the maximum 100 capacity. (Note: In the original unpatched v1.0 PC
release, developers made a typo requiring TURTOISE; patched versions accept both). |
Armor |

Handling |
| ANICESETOFWHEELS | Renders vehicle chassis invisible. Only the four wheels and headlights remain visible on all cars. | Vehicles |

| NASTYLIMBSCHEAT | Toggles "Nasty Mode" (Gore / Dismemberment). Causes shotguns, sniper rifles, and explosions to sever arms, legs, and heads with blood spurts. | Gameplay |
| ITSALLGOINGMAAAD | Causes all Liberty City pedestrians to riot and fight each other with melee attacks. (Irreversible! Do not save!) | Pedestrian Riot |
| NOBODYLIKESME | Every civilian pedestrian develops hostile aggro toward Claude and attacks on sight. (Irreversible! Do not save!) | Pedestrian Riot |
| WEAPONSFORALL | Every civilian in Liberty City receives random firearms (Pistols, Uzis, Shotguns, Rocket Launchers). (Irreversible! Do not save!) | Pedestrian Riot |
| SKINCANCERFORME | Forces clear, blue-sky sunny weather across Portland, Staunton, and Shoreside Vale. | Weather |

| ILOVESCOTLAND | Forces a torrential rain and thunderstorm. | Weather |

Never save your game after activating ITSALLGOINGMAAAD, NOBODYLIKESME, or
WEAPONSFORALL. These cheats permanently overwrite the pedestrian AI behavior routines directly
into your active GTA3sf*.b save file. Saving will make mission-givers and key NPCs hostile or
get them killed, making 100% completion impossible.
