Best Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheat Codes for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC

Why Trust Techopedia

Who doesn’t like to cheat every now and then? As long as you’re only doing it in a single-player game, what’s the harm in giving yourself an unfair advantage over the computer? The best types of games to cheat in have to be Rockstar’s open-world titles, including the magnificent Red Dead Redemption 2.

While it might seem like there isn’t as much fun to be had in the old West as in a modern city like GTA, Red Dead Redemption 2 has just as many cheats waiting to be activated to make you an unstoppable force on the frontier.

Cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2 work on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC but you input them a little differently than most other games. Dust off your boots while we rustle up all the cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2 so you can tame the old West as you see fit.

How Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheat Codes Work

Cheats in Red Dead Redemption 2 aren’t done with random button combinations like the classic Konami code or the option to enter a specific phone number like in GTA 5.

Instead, Red Dead Redemption 2 uses another classic system of entering a specific phrase associated with each cheat.

To enter a cheat, open your menu, navigate to settings, and then press the associated button on your specific platform to enter the cheat menu? — Triangle on Playstation or Y on Xbox. On PC, you should be able to see the option as part of the menu.

This will bring up a text prompt for you to type in any of the cheats below. You only need to enter a cheat once before it is added to your list and can be toggled on and off without having to reenter the entire phrase.

Some cheats are available as soon as you start the game, while others require you to purchase specific in-game newspapers to unlock.

Note that enabling any cheat will disable all achievements and trophies, as well as the ability to save your game — so do a quick save before entering the Settings menu!

Top Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheat Codes You Need to Know

Rockstar loves to give you tons of cheats to play with, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is no different. The total list is a little overwhelming, so here are five personal recommendations to play around with first if you don’t know where to start.

Type in the phrase associated with each cheat:

  • Unlock all outfits – Vanity. All is vanity
  • Infinite Dead-Eye – Be greedy only for foresight
  • Infinite ammo – Abundance is the dullest desire (requires purchasing a newspaper after Chapter 1)
  • Spawn a Superior horse – You want more than you have
For a comprehensive look at all the Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats, and which ones require newspapers, here’s the full list.
