Back in 2004, using cheat codes in video games was a daily occurrence. Once you had beaten a game, it was only natural to go back and replay it with some slight changes like a big head mode or perhaps make things a little easier for yourself by increasing your resources. One such cheat code that was committed to our memory forever was one in GTA San Andreas.
While there were seemingly 100s of possible codes to use, one certainly got a lot more inputs than the rest. The health, armour and money code would replenish all of your health and armour while granting Carl 'CJ' Johnson an additional $250,000 of in-game cash.
With the release of the GTA Definitive Edition, this code still works! Unfortunately, it will make earning achievements or trophies impossible so beware when using it in your main save file. It may be best to set up a 'cheat save' to start messing around with the various codes available. Here's how to use the code in San Andreas.

How to Use Cheats in GTA San Andreas
Fortunately, it's super simple to enter cheats in GTA San Andreas. The method hasn't changed with the release of the Definitive Edition meaning you can just enter the cheats during gameplay.
So long as you're not in a cutscene or actively carrying out a task, just stand still and enter the cheat code. If successful you'll see a quick notification in-game to let you know it worked.
