If you're also messing around with cash runs and gear setups, it's not unusual to end up looking at guides like GTA 5 Money in the same session, because once you start going off-script you want the whole sandbox to feel wide open, not stingy.
What The Weapons Cheat Really Does
The closest thing to "unlimited" in vanilla single-player is the classic Give Weapons and Ammo cheat. On PC that's TOOLUP, and on console you can do it through the phone number too. It dumps a full loadout into your hands and tops up ammo so hard it feels endless at first. Then you pick up a minigun, hold the trigger, and reality kicks in. The counter does drop. It's not quick, but it happens, and in the middle of a five-star chase you don't want to be pausing to punch in codes again.
Explosive Ammo Is A Different Kind Of Power
If what you want is pure chaos, Explosive Ammo is the fun one. On PC, HIGHEX turns ordinary shots into little blasts. It doesn't freeze your ammo, so you still need to reload and you can still run dry, but you'll burn through way less to get the same result. A couple of rounds can flip a car or wipe a group, so the "ammo problem" stops being the main thing on your mind. It's also one of those cheats that can make missions feel weirdly easy, so most people save it for free roam when they just want to blow off steam.
Saving, Achievements, And The Mod Route
One catch that trips people up: once you use cheats, trophies and achievements are off for that session. So if you're chasing 100% or trying to gold a mission, don't test cheats "just for a second" and hope it doesn't matter. Keep a clean save, mess around on a throwaway one, and swap back when you're done. And if you're on PC and you truly mean infinite—ammo that never decreases—then you're talking trainers or mods. They can lock values so the count won't move at all, which is perfect for single-player messing about, and if you want legit boosts like fast delivery of in-game currency or items without risking Online mods, that's where services like RSVSR tend to come up in the community chat.
