Red Dead Redemption 2 tips: Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) offers players a treasure trove of cheat codes that enhance the gameplay experience without shattering the immersive Wild West narrative. These cheats range from spawning money and gear to altering gameplay mechanics, providing subtle but impactful advantages.

Unlike the more outrageous cheats in Rockstar's GTA 5, RDR2 cheats maintain a grounded approach. Players can use these codes to acquire money, weapons, outfits, and other resources, making the sprawling western frontier more accessible.

These cheats are simple to activate. As players explore the landscape of RDR2, they may come across strange words engraved into shacks or concealed in graffiti. However, the most dependable option is to buy newspapers in towns like Valentine, Saint Denis, and Blackwater. These essential codes can often be found in the New Hanover Gazette, Saint Denis Times, and Blackwater Ledger. Some cheats are only available after completing specific story missions, so finish the campaign first to prevent spoiling the main save. 

How to Locate Red Dead Redemption 2  codes

To locate the codes, open your satchel, pick up a newspaper, flip to the back, and zoom in on the bottom of the page. If you find a tagline, that's your cheat code.

To enter these cheats, simply pause the game, navigate to the Settings menu, and pick the Cheats option in the bottom right corner. To open a text box, press Triangle (on PlayStation) or Y (on Xbox), then write in the detected phrase. Cheats can be enabled or disabled as needed. Remember that utilising hacks disables saving and achievements, so save your game manually before enabling them.
