Red Dead Redemption 2, the open-world title from Rockstar Games, achieved critical acclaim upon release for how much it brings its world to life. However, since the game involves a huge gameplay area and has numerous elements at play, the gameplay can get somewhat complex for some. Therefore, a lot of players tend to incline towards the use of cheats to make theRed Dead Redemption 2experience simpler, to experiment with the gameplay, or to just mess around and have fun. Now, although the use of cheats is not a preferable mode of enjoying a game, it does not really violate a player’s integrity if they do so to simplify a single-player game and is actually quite harmless.

The game has been around for quite a while now, so it is only natural for players to have foundsome of the glitches inRDR2and exploit them to turn things in their favor. Moreover,Red Dead Redemption 2actually has some of the cheat codes present in the form of very minute Easter eggs spread throughout the game. For instance, players can find some of the cheat codes present in the newspapers, a really minute detail that players would not usually spot unless they knew where to look.

As mentioned earlier, there are actually numerous cheats present inthe world ofRed Dead Redemption 2,but the players would need to know where to look, as the locations of these cheats are completely random, making them nearly impossible to locate in the vast open-world haystack. The earlier mention of cheats being present in newspapers is actually one of the few easier ways of finding some of the cheats. However, some of these only become available after the completion of certain checkpoints in the game, and so is the case with certain cheat codes as well. But in case things are quite favorable for the player, they might just stumble upon a lucky newspaper, where the cheat would be present in the form of an arbitrary phrase written at the bottom of the paper.

Apart from the newspaper plan, players can also try and locate some of thecheats that are spread throughoutRed Dead Redemption 2. These cheats are usually present etched on a drawer or a table, or maybe carved on ice. What players need to be on the lookout for are arbitrary phrases present throughoutRed Dead Redemption 2. Snooping around in abandoned houses and such can turn out a few positive results in the hunt for cheat codes.

But this raises the question: how exactly does oneactivateRed Dead Redemption 2cheats? Well, it is quite simple actually. As it so happens,RDR2has a dedicated console for cheats which is present in the Settings menu. Players just need to access the Settings tab from the Main Menu, where they will find the option to access the cheat console present at the bottom right corner of the window. Now, this will present them with a list, which will be empty unless the player has used cheats in the game before. If not, then they just need to click on any of the empty slots to activate one. However, they should note that activating cheats in the game will disable the trophies and achievements, so they should try these out after completing the game once.
