GTA 5 helicopter cheats are your free ride through the skies and we've got them for you here plus a few other flying vehicle cheats. The world of Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of extravagance and overindulgence. It’s a world filled with drugs, big city buildings, and fancy vehicles, but nothing says 'I’ve got far too much money' like buying your own helicopter for your daily commute. 

With some handy cheats, you don't actually need to spend a dime of your ill-gotten cash to get to the chopper? If that sounds appealing to you, you’re probably in the market for some GTA 5 buzzard cheats that spawn these over-the-top airborne vehicles. If that’s the case, you’re in the right place. If you want to summon all the other flashy vehicles, check our GTA 5 cheats list for every other spawn code.

All GTA 5 helicopter cheats

The first thing you need to know about GTA 5 cheats is that they don’t work in GTA Online, because that would be cheating, naturally. While you might be into that, Rockstar isn't. 

Enter the following cheats in the normal game by bringing up the GTA 5 console with the tilde key (~). Type in the cheat in all caps there and hit enter to immediately summon a fancy flying vehicle into existence. Pretty impressive, if you ask me.

  • BUZZOFF: Buzzard helicopter
  • BARNSTORM: Mallard stunt plane 
  • FLYSPRAY: Cropduster aircraft 
  • EXTINCT: Dodo seaplane (unlock in story first)
  • BUBBLES: Kraken submarine (unlock in story first)

There you have it, how to unlock a mechanical bird in Grand Theft Auto 5. That should give you plenty more ways to raise hell in Rockstar's satirical take on America during the dark times before GTA 6 is (hopefully) announced.
