The briefing
GTA V PC supports keyboard commands, in-game phone numbers and controller cheat sequences. The keyboard route uses the cheat box opened by the key to the left of 1, commonly tilde. Phone entry uses the contact list and dial pad; the source lists Spacebar for opening the keypad on PC.
The catalog covers 34 effects, including health and armor, temporary invincibility, wanted-level changes, weapons and vehicle spawns. A Cheat Activated message confirms success. Some activities deny activation, and certain effects require a reload or restart to remove. Phone codes are not permanently saved as contacts, although the dial pad can repeat the last number.
These are story-mode features. There is no legitimate GTA Online cheat system, no money code and no tank-spawn code in this list. Save before experimenting. Cheats temporarily suspend achievements for the play session; restarting and loading a clean save restores normal eligibility. The factual command and phone tables below keep each effect paired with its exact input.
