The GTA franchise is known for chaos! It’s so much fun to play around with the different weapons the game has to offer, and use them to do all sorts of things. But as a new player, finding all these weapons can be a bit of a tough challenge. Especially if you’re just looking to have fun. But worry not, as today we’ll be taking a detailed look at weapons in GTA 5, and tacking such issues. So without wasting much time, let’s get right into it!
Weapon Locations
GTA 5 features over 100+ weapon pickup points, which are spread across the entire map! Now following each and every weapon guide can be very tricky and time taking. So for this reason, we recommend using a well detailed map, with correct locations. Our recommendation would be the GTA 5 Map as it features every weapon pickup point!
GTA 5 Gun Cheat Codes
If in case you’re looking to find weapons in a much easier way, then our recommendations would be using the cheat codes found in the game. You wouldn’t need to do all this scouting, as playing around with cheat codes is fun and easy. Unlike other GTA games in the franchise, GTA 5 features only one weapons cheat code! Let’s take a look at it.
| PlayStation (PS3, PS4 and PS5) | TRIANGLE, R2, LEFT, L1, X, RIGHT, TRIANGLE, DOWN, SQUARE, L1, L1, L1 |
| Xbox (Xbox 360, One and Series X|S) | Y, RT, LEFT, LB, A, RIGHT, Y, DOWN, X, LB, LB, LB |
| PC (Legacy and Enhanced) | TOOLUP |
| Cell Phone | 1-999-8665-87 (1-999-TOOL-UP) |
GTA 5 Ammo Cheat Codes
Unfortunately, GTA 5 does not feature a cheat code which can help with unlimited ammo. That means, that players are stuck with a limited ammo set. However, there is a workaround for that as well, as we recommend using the Weapon cheat code whenever you’re short on ammo. The cheat will give you all the ammo, with a set of new weapons.
We do recommend trying out some fun cheat codes related to ammo, though! Instead of unlimited ammo, players have the option to change the way the ammo works in the game. They can either make the regular ammo, into the explosive rounds, or either flaming rounds! Try it out for yourselves, as we’ve listed the cheat code below for both of them.
Explosive Rounds
| PlayStation (PS3, PS4 and PS5) | RIGHT, SQUARE, X, LEFT, R1, R2, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, L1, L1, L1 |
| Xbox (Xbox 360, One and Series X|S) | RIGHT, X, A, LEFT, RB, RT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, LB, LB, LB |
| PC (Legacy and Enhanced) | HIGHEX |
| Cell Phone | 1-999-444-439 (1-999-HIGH-EX) |
Flaming Rounds
| PlayStation (PS3, PS4 and PS5) | L1, R1, SQUARE, R1, LEFT, R2, R1, LEFT, SQUARE, RIGHT, L1, L1 |
| Xbox (Xbox 360, One and Series X|S) | LB, RB, X, RB, LEFT, RT, RB, LEFT, X, RIGHT, LB, LB |
| PC (Legacy and Enhanced) | INCENDIARY |
| Cell Phone | 1-999-462-363-4279 (1-999-INCENDIARY) |
How to use Weapon Cheats in GTA 5
Now that you know the cheat code for acquiring new weapons and bullets, you’re probably wondering how to use it in the game. Well, it’s pretty simple, actually, and mostly depends upon the platform you’re on. If you’re playing the game on PC, you just have to bring up the cheat code menu by using the tilde key (~) on your keyboard, and then enter the cheat code. Meanwhile, console players can just use the controller combinations to activate the codes.
Most people might not know this, but you can also activate the cheat code using the in-game cell phone. It’s as simple as just bringing up the cell phone and then going to the contacts application. From there on, you’ll have to bring up the Dial Pad and input the cheat code. The command will be activated as soon as a call is made.
