Save first: activating any cheat disables saving, trophies and achievements for that session. Keep a clean manual save before experimenting — and note cheat phrases only work in Story Mode, never in Red Dead Online.

How to enter cheats on PC

  1. 1
    Open Pause → Settings → Cheats

    Press Left Shift to open the cheat entry.

  2. 2
    Type the phrase exactly

    Punctuation matters; capitalization does not. Once entered, the phrase stays in your list.

  3. 3
    Toggle the cheat on

    Select it in the Cheats list to activate — toggling any cheat locks saving/achievements for the session.

FAQ

Why isn’t a phrase working?

Some cheats require holding a specific newspaper in your inventory (sold by paperboys in towns) before they’ll toggle on.

Is there an invincibility cheat?

No official god-mode phrase exists in RDR2 — the verified lists top out at infinite ammo/dead-eye tiers.

Do cheats work in Red Dead Online?

No — phrase cheats are Story Mode only.

Can I keep one save clean?

Yes — enter the phrase but leave the cheat off, then save; it stays unlocked in the menu so you can flip it on in a disposable save later.
