What This Cheat Does
With the Recruit Anyone (9mm) cheat, you can convert any pedestrian into a member of your gang. This is extremely useful for completing missions that require backup or just for causing chaos around San Andreas.
Simply enter the cheat during gameplay and approach any NPC to recruit them. This can turn the tides in gang warfare or enhance your street cred when exploring the city. Enjoy your new allies!

Good to Know
Recruited NPCs will engage in combat and follow you closely.
Heads up: cheats in GTA San Andreas can permanently affect your save — some can’t be switched off and a few can break missions, so use them on a separate save file. Entering cheats also disables achievements on the Steam and Definitive Edition versions of the game.
