Cheat codes in GTA 3 can be useful in a variety of situations. They allow you to quickly obtain weapons, health, armor, transportation, and even change the behavior of those around you. Therefore, in this article, we will look at popular codes for this game that will help you obtain interesting and useful items.

In GTA III, cheats work both in the main version of the game and in the re-released The Definitive Edition. 

However, using certain codes, especially those related to the behavior of pedestrians, can affect the game save, and this may be irreversible. Therefore, always make a backup copy of your save before using codes!

How to enter cheat codes

 You can enter a cheat code in GTA 3 at any time. It doesn't matter where you are. You can pause the game and enter the cheat code, or simply be in the game and start the desired code.

On a PC, simply enter the desired word from the keyboard. 

On consoles, you need to press certain button combinations. If the cheat is activated successfully, a message will appear on the screen indicating that the code has been enabled.

Some cheats can be easily disabled by simply entering them again. But this does not work everywhere! For example, cheats for hostile pedestrians or riots remain active even after loading a save file if you did so while the cheat was active.
