After CJ is arrested in theiconic intro toGTA San Andreas, a cutscene unfolds in which police officer Frank Tenpenny is having an intense chat with the main character before dropping him off. During this cutscene,GTAfans will have to input the jetpack code which is an assortment of button combinations on consoles, or simply Rocketman in all caps on PC. CJ will die immediately upon the completion of theGTA San Andreascutscene, but when he respawns, the player will have access to any store regardless of storyline progression.
Grand Theft Autofans may be unfamiliar with the specific cutscene to activate this trick with and many may have already progressed beyond this point in the game. Early on in the game,GTA San Andreasprotagonist CJis in a taxi that’s pulled over by the police and he’s framed for the murder of a fellow police officer before being dropped off in enemy gang territory. It is recommended thatGTA San Andreasplayers enter the jetpack cheat code before the police cruiser is stopped briefly by the train during the cutscene.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreasfans are no strangers to cheat codes unlocking weapons, vehicles, and more, but this store trick is one of the lesser-known ones that were in the original game as well. Some cheats didn’t transition toGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionbut apparently, Rockstar Games decided that this store trick was a worthy addition. It’s worth noting thatGTA San Andreasfans who utilize this trick will no longer be able to unlock achievements or trophies for the game as it’s internally considered a cheat.
It’s been noted that players will have to watch the full intro cinematic prior to the in-game footage that they input the jetpack code with.Grand Theft Auto: San Andreasappears on its own on the Xbox Game Pass library, allowing moreGTAfans on Xbox platforms to utilize this trick. It’s currently unclear if Rockstar Games intends to remove this or anyother cheats from the remasteredGTAtrilogy.
