Frequently Asked Questions About Vice City Cheats
Is there a money cheat code for GTA Vice City on PC?
No. Unlike GTA III (IFIWEREARICHMAN) and GTA: San Andreas
(HESOYAM), there is no native direct money cheat code in the PC version of GTA Vice
City. Beware of fake sites claiming otherwise. To generate unlimited money quickly, spawn a Rhino
Tank (PANZER), initiate the Vigilante mission, exit the tank, type BIGBANG to
destroy the target criminal vehicle, re-enter, and repeat. Alternatively, complete the "Cone Crazy"
rooftop driving challenge repeatedly by beating your previous record by only 1 second each run to double the
payout up to millions.
Can I enter cheat codes while driving a vehicle?
Yes. Cheat codes can be entered at any time during active gameplay. Be aware that typing keys mapped to
vehicle control (such as W, A, S, or D) will momentarily
steer or accelerate your vehicle as you type.
Do cheat codes disable 100% completion in Vice City?
In original PC releases of Vice City, cheat codes do not lock completion percentages, although entering cheats degrades your Criminal Rating title score. However, pedestrian riot cheats permanently break NPC scripting and make story progression impossible. In The Definitive Edition, using cheats permanently disables achievements and trophies for that save file.
How do I toggle off active cheat codes?
Toggled status cheats (such as ONSPEED, BOOOOOORING, COMEFLYWITHME,
or SEAWAYS) can be deactivated simply by typing the identical cheat code a second time.
Immediate effect cheats (such as health restoration, explosions, and vehicle spawns) cannot be undone
without reloading a prior save.
