Cheat codes are created by the game designers and hidden within the video game that cause any type of uncommon effect that is not part of the usual game mechanics. They're usually activated by typing secret passwords or pressing controller buttons in a certain sequence. They can be as simple as giving the player extra ammo to making the player invincible with infinite health.
Exploits involve unintentional coding, glitches or bugs within the game's programming that can be used by the player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers.
Listed below are cheat codes and exploits for the Mafia series of games. Use these at your own risk as they often have unintentional side effects, such as game crashes, inability to progress in game and may cause corrupt save files.
Mafia[]
Cheats[]
The following is a list of PC cheat codes that can be entered during gameplay.
- krefjezivot - Refill health
- municak - Infinite ammunition
- boxer - Big hand mode
- jizda - Fold down roof in compatible cars
- cumdal - Increase draw distance
- parnik - Titanic Easter egg
- cornufse - All cars can be stolen
- Unlock all prototype cars:
- When you start free ride extreme, go to the most northeastern point of Oakwood. Place yourself so that you're looking down the street and look to your right, you should see a telephone booth. There is a house with a blue door just to the right of that, go up to the door and the action icon will appear. Click the right mouse button and the icon will disappear. Nothing will say that you've unlocked all Free Ride Extreme cars, but if you check the Free Ride car selection screen, the cars should be listed there.
Exploits[]
- When you first start the tutorial, run straight ahead until you come to the wall. If you punch the wall, you'll hear that someone is right behind it. Continue punching until the person runs out of HP and succumbs. Later on, you'll find out that this is the guy that walks into the room that Don Salieri instructs you to hit with the bat. If you have already killed him, immediately after Salieri tells you to hit him with the bat, his next line of "Oh ho, that's gotta hurt." will play.
- After you shoot down Morello's plane in Crème De La Crème, you can roam around before you leave. If you go to the air-school building (the same building you ended the Omerta mission with), there are three sets of doors to go inside the building. The are two entrances with double doors and one entrance with a single door. If you go to the single door, there is no collision data so you can walk straight through it but you'll end up falling into the void and failing the mission. The double doors on the same side will actually be a bit lower so you can see over the top of them and you'll see the building is not complete on the inside like it was in Omerta.

- No cheat codes exist within Mafia II.
Exploits[]
- In Chapter 14 rather than fight your way through the inside of the dock warehouse, once you kill all of Derek's men outside, drive a vehicle into the water nearby. This will cause you to respawn in front of the warehouse, only the large doors will be closed and the upstairs door to Derek's office will now be open. Enter his office and take cover by the doorway, the fight will be considerably easier from here.
- In Jimmy's Vendetta there is an achievement for getting 1,000,000 points in the DLC that can be extremely difficult and time-consuming to get legitimately. However, if you take advantage of the exploit listed on the achievement page you can get it with little effort, though slightly time-consuming.
