If you want to dominate every firefight in Grand Theft Auto V, the weapon cheats are exactly what you need. They can hand you a complete arsenal in an instant, make your bullets explode on impact, set enemies on fire, and slow down time so you never miss. This guide covers every GTA 5 weapon and combat cheat, with the codes for PS5, PS4, Xbox, and PC.

Each cheat below includes its phone number, which works on every platform, along with the controller button combinations and PC code words where they apply. Remember that all cheats work only in single-player story mode.

Weapon Cheats and Achievements

As with every cheat in GTA 5, using any weapon cheat disables achievements and trophies for the rest of your current play session. If you are working toward an achievement, save your game first and reload a clean save afterward.

These weapon cheats pair brilliantly with the invincibility cheat for total mayhem. For the god mode code and every other cheat, see our guides on the GTA 5 invincibility cheat and the complete GTA 5 Cheats: Full List of Cheat Codes.
