In Red Dead Redemption, there are numerous cheat codes to enhance your outlaw experience. These range from invincibility and unlimited ammo to unlimited Dead Eye, allowing you to become the ultimate gunslinger. You can even fire flaming bullets or summon a rideable donkey for your adventures. Out of the 39 available cheats, nearly half are accessible right away, while the rest require you to discover hidden phrases throughout the game world and enter them into the in-game cheats menu. To simplify this for you, we’ve compiled a complete list of Red Dead Redemption cheats below, including the necessary phrases, so you can get back to your rootin’, tootin’, and shootin’ in no time. If you’re curious about the sequel, you can also find all the Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats.
Before diving into the full list of cheats, here’s how to activate them: pause the game, navigate to the ‘Options’ menu, and select ‘Cheats.’ This will display all the cheats you’ve unlocked so far—some should already be on your list, but there are plenty more to discover! To add more cheats, press Y on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation, or X on Nintendo Switch to bring up your console’s keyboard, or follow the prompt on PC. Now you can enter the relevant phrases from the list below, one at a time.
Keep in mind: activating a cheat code in Red Dead Redemption’s single-player mode will disable autosaves and prevent you from earning Achievements or Trophies. Deactivating cheats won’t revert this, so to return to normal, you’ll need to load a previous save from before you activated any cheats. It’s wise to save at a campfire or settlement before using cheats to avoid losing any progress.
Here’s the complete list of every cheat code available in Red Dead Redemption’s single-player mode. Cheats marked as “automatically unlocked” should already be in your cheats list and don’t require any additional phrases:
