RDR2 cheats: Full list of codes & how to cheat in Red Dead Redemption 2
Breaking the rules in the old west.
It may have been almost five years since Red Dead Redemption 2 hit our consoles but there's no denying that 2018 really was the year of RDR2. Everywhere you looked there was someone hyping the game up, and when we did get to play it for ourselves it lived up to every single bit of the excitement.
If you haven't played it yet, we recommend buying a copy or downloading it (but not before playing your way through the original first). However, if you're playing it through for a second or third time, you might want to make things a little easier for yourself.
Yup, we're talking about Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats - and there's a whole whack of them to take advantage of. Some won't agree with it, but we won't tell. If you're a veteran, too, there's a chance you've done everything there is to do and just want a bit of fun.
Don't forget, RDR2 was made by Rockstar Games, a company well known for their hilarious cheats - you only have to look at any GTA game. So buckle up, partner, and read on for every cheat code in Red Dead Redemption 2. Or check out the video above to see our five favourite RDR2 cheats!

How to use cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2
The codes in the game are actually phrases and they can be found all over the map – you've likely crossed paths with many already without realising it. They are etchings that can be found in stone or on ice, or you can get them from buying newspapers.
We have you covered with all the codes you can use below and to use them, you just need to follow a few simple steps.
To cheat in RDR2, you need to head to Settings, and then you will see a cheat option in the bottom right of the screen.
Click that cheat button on PC (or press Triangle on a PlayStation controller, or Y on an Xbox controller, to select it), enter the code, and then enjoy the rewards.
As expected in the modern gaming age, using cheats will stop you getting achievements/trophies during that play session – so definitely keep that in mind!
