In this post, you will find all the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas & Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Definite edition cheats. The original GTA: San Andreas was released back on October 26, 2004, while the Definitive Edition was released on November 11, 2021, as part of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the release of GTA 3.
The Definitive Edition was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 11 November 2021, and is scheduled for release on Android and iOS devices in the first half of 2022.
Note that some of the cheats found in the original version of the game are not available in the definitive edition. We have denoted those with an asterisk (*). Also, some of the Xbox mappings have changed for some cheats, while others have remained the same.
Do GTA: San Andreas cheats disable Trophies & Achievements?
Yes, just like most other Grand Theft Auto games, once you enable cheats you will not be able to unlock trophies and achievements. Make sure to keep a clean game saved before you start using any of the GTA San Andreas cheat codes below.
How to enter GTA: San Andreas Cheats on PC?
While entering the codes on consoles is obvious (just press the corresponding keypad combo on your gamepad), using cheats on the PC version is a bit more obscure initially.
However, all you have to do is type the cheats on your keyboard. You don't need to bring up the console command or use some sort of mobile device as in other games.
Just type the codes as they are provided. Note that the codes are not case-sensitive.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Hints & Tricks
Easy Firearms & Body Armor
Head out behind your house in Los Santos and go down into the aqueduct. Go down the slope and head right along the walkway to locate a nice Mini SMG. You'll also find a Pistol in Sweet's backyard.
To get body armor, go out behind the house and into the aqueduct to the left. Go down the sloped wall of the aqueduct and head left. On an incline underneath the bridge, you'll find a vest.
Easy Money for Cleaning the Hood
Killing drug dealers is one of the fastest ways to build up your cash.
Anytime you kill a drug dealer, you will net $2000. Drug dealers normally wear black jackets and stand still waiting for people to talk to them.
Earn easy weapon skill
To earn easy weapon skills, go and get any two cars and place them in your Grove St home garage. Then with the weapon of your choice shoot the cars until they are nearly on fire. Then walk away from the garage so it can close. Walk up to the garage again and you will notice that the cars are repaired.
Repeat this process as it is one of the fastest ways to earn weapon skills in the game. To check your progress with weapon skill, switch to the weapon that you want to check and then go to STATS in the menu and then go down to WEAPONS. The number there is how many skill points you have.
You need 1000 skill points to reach the Hitman level with a weapon.
Weapon skill in REUNITING THE FAMILIES mission
To earn some easy weapon skills, go and practice with an AK-47 before starting this mission until you reach Gangster level. During the mission, blast on as many cop vehicles as you can. The AK-47 deals a lot of damage at the gangster level so there is a good chance you will hit HITMAN during the mission.
