There’s a whole mess of Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats, letting players go on a rampage with infinite ammo, heavy weapons and more.
They’re pretty easy to access, but you’ll need to know they come with a set of rules; you can’t save the game while cheats are turned on, and you won’t be able to earn any Achievements or Trophies either. More importantly, the cheat won’t work unless you’ve purchased the newspaper or examined the particular item in-game.
To find some of the easiest cheats, head to the nearest newspaper seller and buy a newspaper. Flip it over and look for the saying at the bottom of the page. Now go to the Settings menu and press triangle or Y to enter the cheat.
Newspapers aren’t the only source of cheats, so you’ll need to examine other items dotted around the game. That “flip” button for turning photographs, maps and other documents over is essential.
