The last cheat, “Clear All Bounties and Lockdown Areas” does not work. The cheat has registered in the cheats menu, but does not remove bounties, and it does not remove the Blackwater lockdown. I still can’t get into Blackwater without dying.
Hi Jesse! To get access to Blackwater, you will need to complete the main story of the game. It can only be accessed without the Bounty after the story. The cheat will work fine for the rest of the game and for Blackwater as well once the main story of the game has been completed. Take it as the Las Venturas area of GTA San Andreas which was only accessible without the wanted level after reaching a certain part of the story.
