Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheat Codes: How to Unlock All Cheat Codes in RDR2
In this guide, we are going to show you how to unlock all cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes, a game in 2018 actually does have legitimate cheat codes. Rockstar Games has yet to abandon this nearly extinct feature. In fact, they are in full force in this highly anticipated sequel. There are cheats for replenishing health, infinite ammo, and the like.
Of course, knowing how to unlock all cheat codes in Red Dead Redemption 2 does come with some caveats. For one, be warned that you will not be able to save the game or unlock trophies/achievements.
