When it comes to cheat codes and the carnage you can make with them, few games do it better than Grand Theft Auto. On the one hand, the games do variety extremely well making it possible to change your character model, cause pedestrians to act more aggressively and even turn off gravity. You can also spawn certain vehicles or indeed full sets of weapons.

But the best of them all and the go-to for every cheat code fuelled GTA rampage is the best of both worlds. Both a vehicle and a weapon, every Grand Theft Auto player has memories of spawning the Rhino tank and saying “no world, you shut up”.

Now, it’s not like this death machine is exclusive to cheaters. In every GTA game from III onwards it’s possible to find one in the wild. However, they characteristically tend to be found at well-defended military bases for very good reason. Thus, actually getting yourself in the seat of one of these bad boys is a lot of trouble when you could just as easily tap a few buttons and make one fall from the sky.

The Rhino tank is the quickest way to mayhem and a maxed out wanted level which are really one in the same.
