The invincibility cheat is one of the most popular codes in Grand Theft Auto V, letting you shrug off bullets, explosions, and crashes without taking any damage. Whether you call it god mode or invincibility, it is the perfect cheat for causing chaos without ever worrying about dying. This guide gives you the exact code for every platform and everything you need to know about it.
Below you will find the invincibility code for PS5, PS4, Xbox, and PC, along with clear answers to the most common questions, including how long it lasts and why it does not work online.
Does GTA 5 Have a God Mode Cheat?
Yes, GTA 5 includes an invincibility cheat that grants full god mode, making your character immune to all damage. It is one of the classic cheats that has been in the game since launch, and it works across every platform.
The one thing to know is that invincibility is temporary rather than permanent, lasting for a set amount of time before you need to enter it again. The full details are below, and every other cheat is covered in our complete GTA 5 Cheats: Full List of Cheat Codes guide.
GTA 5 Invincibility Cheat Codes
Here is the invincibility cheat for each platform. Enter the button combination on your controller, dial the phone number, or type the code word on PC.
- Phone (all platforms): 1-999-724-654-5537
- PS5 and PS4: RIGHT, X, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, R1, RIGHT, LEFT, X, TRIANGLE
- Xbox: RIGHT, A, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, RB, RIGHT, LEFT, A, Y
- PC code word: PAINKILLER
How Long Does Invincibility Last?
The GTA 5 invincibility cheat lasts for about five minutes before it automatically wears off. This is different from many other cheats, which stay active until you turn them off. Once the five minutes are up, you simply enter the code again to become invincible for another five minutes.
Because of the time limit, it is a good idea to re-enter the code before it expires if you are in the middle of intense action. Keeping the button combination memorised makes this quick and easy.
Why Invincibility Does Not Work Online
Like every other cheat in GTA 5, the invincibility code only works in single-player story mode. It has absolutely no effect in GTA Online, where cheating is not permitted and could result in a ban.
This means you can enjoy god mode freely in the story campaign without any risk to your online account, since the two are kept completely separate. Cheats simply do nothing when entered in the online mode.
Combine Invincibility With Other Cheats
Invincibility is even more fun when combined with other cheats. Pair it with the weapon cheats for an unstoppable rampage, add explosive ammo for maximum spectacle, or throw in super jump and fast run to become a superhuman force in Los Santos.
For the codes to combine, see our guides on GTA 5 weapon cheats and how to enter cheats in GTA 5. Invincibility forms the foundation of nearly every chaotic cheat session.
Invincibility and Achievements
Activating the invincibility cheat, like any cheat, disables achievements and trophies for the rest of your current play session. If you are chasing a specific achievement, save your game before using the cheat and reload the clean save afterward.
The effect does not carry over when you save and reload normally, so your progress stays intact. This makes it easy to enjoy god mode whenever you like and return to achievement hunting when you are ready.
