Does Red Dead Redemption 2 Have Cheats and Cheat Codes?

If you're hoping Red Dead Redemption 2 has cheats, like those in the original game and in the GTA games, you're in luck. Red Dead Redemption 2 does include a number of cheat codes. These codes unlock numerous items or abilities, such as spawning horses and infinite ammo. A word of warning though: while there are cheats in RDR2, many of them need to be 'found' first in order to be used in the game. We've got all the details for you right here.

How to Unlock Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheats

Before we get onto the list of Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats below, it’s worth noting a few things. Firstly, you can’t save your game while cheats are active, and you also won’t be able to earn any Achievements or Trophies while cheats are turned on. Some RDR2 cheats also need to be found in the game before you can use them, even if you know what the cheat code is.

To activate a cheat in Red Dead Redemption 2, you firstly need to pause the game. Now, head to the Settings menu, and press Y/Triangle. You can now see a complete list of all the locked cheats in the game, and you can press Y/Triangle again to enter a cheat code.

Is There a Money Cheat in Red Dead Redemption 2?

If you are hoping to be able to enter a cheat code in Red Dead Redemption 2 in order to get infinite money, it seems like that won't be possible. But, there's instead a single code, as you can see in the table above, that grants you $500 immediately, whenever you choose to activate it. The code for this cheat is 'GREED IS NOW A VIRTUE", which luckily doesn't require a newspaper for you to unlock.
