What This Cheat Does
The Special Ability Recharge cheat allows players to instantly refill their character's special ability meter. This is particularly useful for characters like Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, each of whom has unique special abilities that can turn the tide in intense situations.
Use this cheat during difficult missions, high-stakes chases, or when you just want to show off your skills. With an instant recharge, you can maximize the effectiveness of your special abilities without waiting.
How to Enter the Cheat
On PC
Type the code POWERUP during normal gameplay, or open the in-game phone and dial the number.
On Console
While walking around — not paused — press the button combo quickly and in order. A sound confirms the hit.
By Cell Phone
Bring up your character’s phone, open the keypad, enter 1-999-769-3787 and press call.
Good to Know
This cheat can be used multiple times without cooldown.
Heads up: GTA 5 cheats only work in Story Mode — never in GTA Online. Entering any cheat disables Achievements / Trophies until you reload a save, and cheat effects don’t persist, so you may need to re-enter the code again later.
