GTA Vice City Cheat Codes for PC: Every Classic Code
By Muhammad Shahid Khan · · 3 min read
Quick answer
In the original PC version of GTA Vice City, type the cheat during gameplay. Key codes are ASPIRINE (full health), PRECIOUSPROTECTION (full armour), THUGSTOOLS, PROFESSIONALTOOLS and NUTTERTOOLS (weapon sets), LEAVEMEALONE (clear wanted level) and PANZER (Rhino tank).
GTA Vice City's cheats are a big part of the game's legacy: summoning a tank on Ocean Drive is something a generation of PC players remember. Here are the classic PC codes and how to use them.
I build Cheatly: Game Cheat Codes, a free offline cheat code app for iPhone and iPad, and the screenshots here come from it. If you want every code on your phone next to the controller, get Cheatly on the App Store.
These are for the original PC release, played offline. The Definitive Edition and console versions use different input methods.

Tips for using Vice City cheats safely
- Keep a clean save in a separate slot that has never had cheats used.
- Do not save right after using cheats that change the world, such as flying cars or water driving.
- Re-enter toggle cheats to turn them off.
- Type carefully. Long codes like YOUWONTTAKEMEALIVE are easy to mistype.
