RDR2 cheats: Full list of codes & how to cheat in Red Dead Redemption 2
Breaking the rules in the old west.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is fast approaching the six-year-old mark, so we think both Rockstar and the local sheriff won't mind if you use some RDR2 cheats to make the Wild West even wilder.
As you'd expect from a Rockstar game, the cheats on offer can drastically change how Arthur approaches his problems. Cheats such as unlimited ammo make short work of bandits and lawmen alike, but you can also instantly make him drunk to give your foes a fighting chance.
Hopefully, it will offer enough fun to tide us over until Grand Theft Auto 6, or at the very least until trailer 2.
If you run out of fun in Red Dead Redemption 2, you can see what Los Santos has to offer with GTA 5 cheats and mods or you can live out your virtual life in GTA RP.
Alas, we're here for the rootin' tootin' cowboys so read on for all the RDR2 cheats and how to use them!

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!
