Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats have been known for quite a while due to them being the same on all platforms. On the other hand, using them on PC is slightly different so here is a guide on where to find and how to use cheats, along with the full list of them.
Where to find Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats
Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats are slightly different than those in other games. The main difference is that you can't use them until you find the corresponding newspaper. Here is the list of newspapers and where to buy them:
- New Hanover Gazette - bought in Annesburg and Valentine
- Saint Denis Times - bought in St. Denis and Rhodes
- Blackwater Ledger - bought in Blackwater and Strawberry
Upon buying a newspaper, you can either inspect the footnote of an article close to the bottom of a page or consult the list of cheats below. Seeing it on the newspaper you purchased will give you a better sense of what you unlocked though.
Using the cheats is unfortunately not as simple as typing in HESOYAM while roaming the world. You will need to go to Main Menu, navigate to Settings and click on "Cheats". Then simply type in the cheat of your choosing.
