Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats and cheat codes
Cheats in Red Dead Redemption 2 work differently from other Rockstar games. You do not type codes during gameplay. Instead, you go to the cheats section of the Settings menu, and each code is a full sentence. Some of them also require you to find a specific newspaper first. Most importantly, the game turns off saving and achievements on a save where you use cheats. We have sorted all of them into categories below.
How do you open the cheat console?
Your choice is rememberedIn RDR2, the cheat console is not in the game world but in the Settings menu. Codes are full sentences rather than single words, and you need to type them with their spaces. A code you enter once is saved to the list, and after that you can turn it on and off.
Settings > Cheats
- Pause the game and open the Settings menu.
- Scroll right until you reach the Cheats tab.
- Type the code as a sentence on the empty line. Upper and lower case do not matter, but the spaces do.
- If the code is accepted, it is added to the list, and you can turn it on and off from there at any time.
Some codes require you to buy the matching newspaper first. Without the newspaper, the code is not accepted.
Settings > Cheats > Triangle
- Pause the game and open the Settings menu.
- Go to the Cheats tab and press Triangle to open the code entry screen.
- Type the code as a sentence with the on-screen keyboard.

Trophies are disabled on a save where you use cheats.

Common questions
How do you enter Red Dead Redemption 2 cheat codes?
Pause the game, open the Settings menu and go to the Cheats tab. On PC you type on the empty line, and on consoles you open the code entry screen with Triangle or Y. Codes are sentences rather than single words, so you need to type them with their spaces.
Why does the game stop saving when I turn on cheats?
RDR2 deliberately turns off saving on a save where you use cheats. If you plan to continue your story, save first and then turn on cheats. Even if you turn the cheat off, achievements on that save file do not come back.
Why are some codes not accepted?
In RDR2, some codes require you to buy a specific newspaper first. If you type the code without the newspaper, the menu rejects it. We have marked the codes that need a newspaper with a warning label on this page.
Can I turn off a code later?
Yes. Once a code is accepted, it is added to the cheat list, and you can turn it on and off from there at any time. You do not need to type it again every time.
Does using cheats disable achievements?
Yes, achievements and trophies are permanently disabled on a save where you use cheats. If you want to collect achievements, keeping a separate cheat-free save is the cleanest approach.
Do these codes work in Red Dead Online?
No. All the codes here are for the single-player story mode. Trying to use cheats online can get your account suspended.
