Red Dead 2's Confirmed Cheat Codes: How To Get And Activate Them
<p>The newest release from GTA developer Rockstar Game, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/red-dead-redemption-2/">Red Dead Redemption 2</a> on <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/ps4/">PS4</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/xbox-one/">Xbox One</a>, is a game that is filled with secrets and details. Its core story alone takes 50-plus hours to complete as you slowly accumulate wealth and honor. But if you're someone looking for a shortcut, we've got you covered. Much like the original game and GTA V, Red Dead 2 features an assortment of cheat codes that unlock additional resources, with some injecting odd gimmicks and quirks into your game. Bear in mind, you shouldn't expect these to work in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/where-is-red-dead-online-red-dead-2s-multiplayer/1100-6461880/">Red Dead Online</a> when that releases in late November.</p><p>To find the Cheats menu in Red Dead Redemption 2, press the pause button and select the Settings option. In this menu, press Triangle or Y (on PS4 and Xbox One, respectively) to pull up the Cheats menu. From here, you'll find a long list of locked cheats. Initially, you won't know what any of these do or how to unlock them. Many of these codes can be activated by putting in the correct phrase, but others will require some extra time and effort.</p><p>In addition to finding passwords while exploring the world, some of which are written into the ground, throughout the game you'll find newspapers for sale in towns, and some of these offer clues as to how to unlock these extra fun options. More newspapers will become available after completing main missions, which you'll see detailed in news articles. While many of these cheats introduce some mostly benign bits of fun--such as keeping your character, Arthur Morgan, perpetually drunk--activating these codes at any time will have some consequences for your save game. Once you activate these codes, all Trophies and Achievements will be deactivated on this particular file. As a result, before trying any of these codes, be sure to make a separate file for your main save.</p><p>With over 30 codes to unlock, some of which have some specific requirements, we've collected a list of cheats that we've uncovered thus far. We also have a separate feature discussing some of the most entertaining and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/red-dead-redemption-2-cheats-the-best-codes-to-use/1100-6462808/">best cheats</a> in Red Dead Redemption 2.
