Red Dead Redemption 2is a highly detailed open-world game that really leans into the idea of realism. From lifelike character animations to weather, andcertainhorse “parts,”RDR2wants you to feel like you’re in America’s heartland circa 1899. The realism extends to the story’s methodical pacing and belief that you should spend a ton of time working your way through the world.

Still,RDR2is a video game, and it’s a virtual playground filled with fun and hilarious possibilities. That’s where cheat codes come in to spice things up. Like the originalRDR, there are a variety of cheat codes you can enter in to turn the realism notch down a tad and see what kind of trouble you can get into. From infinite ammo to unlimited drunkenness and virtual invulnerability, cheat codes can be fun to mess around with inRDR2.

How to activate cheat codes

Entering cheats works differently than you might expect. First, go into the pause menu, and then go down to Settings. From there, press Triangle on PS4, or Y on Xbox One, to open the Cheats menu. Then press Triangle/Y again to type in a cheat. All of the codes are phrases, some of which require you to have specific newspapers in your inventory in order to activate them. Newspapers can sometimes be purchased after missions in certain towns, so keep an eye out for opportunities. The cheat codes are often hidden as headlines in the newspapers.

We’ve compiled a list of all 37RDR2cheat codes. Before you start typing in these codes, you should first create a manual save. After activating a cheat code, you cannot save your game, nor can you unlock Trophies or Achievements. So if you were planning on running through the story with unlimited ammo, you won’t be able to, unfortunately. Here is the complete list ofRed Dead Redemption 2cheat codes.
