Grand Theft Auto III PS2 cheats: health, armour, weapons and wanted level
Enter original GTA III PlayStation 2 button codes for full health, armour, weapons and removing the wanted level.
Original 2001 PlayStation 2 game. Button codes use the DualShock 2 layout. The Definitive Edition, mobile ports, later trophy lists and Liberty City Stories are outside this guide.
How to enter GTA III PS2 cheats
Enter each sequence during normal gameplay with the directional pad for directional inputs. Use the original PS2 shoulder-button names below; PC words and Xbox button labels are different. A confirmation normally appears after a successful sequence. Save beforehand and use a separate slot for experiments so your ordinary progression remains easy to resume.
Full health and full armour codes
Full health: R2, R2, L1, R1, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up. Full armour: R2, R2, L1, L2, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up. The fourth button is the important difference. Check the relevant HUD number after entry rather than assuming the sequence registered.
Weapons and removing the wanted level
Weapons: R2, R2, L1, R2, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up. Remove wanted level: R2, R2, L1, R2, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down. Enter the code while safely away from moving traffic or immediate gunfire, because gameplay continues while you press the buttons.
Keep cheat experiments separate
These codes apply to GTA III’s original PS2 controls, not a generic list for every Grand Theft Auto game. More disruptive pedestrian cheats can affect saved play, so do not overwrite a completion run after experimenting. If you want a regular source of weapons without codes, hidden-package milestones provide renewable pickups at the hideouts.
