Tactical Analysis by Vic Duval

Before activating cheat codes in Vice City Methods, consider these crucial gameplay mechanics:

1. Manual Save Pre-Cheat Rule

Activating any cheat code disables PlayStation Trophies and Xbox Achievements for your current save file. Always create a clean manual save slot prior to entering cheat sequences, allowing you to go on rampages across Vice City without ruining your 100% campaign completion progress.

2. Phone Dial vs Controller Sequences

Using phone dial numbers saves cheat entries to Lucia and Jason's smartphone "Quick Dial" contact list. Once entered once, phone cheats can be re-activated with two button taps without re-entering complex button sequences.
