Frequently asked

Do cheats disable achievements and trophies?
Yes. Switching any cheat on disables Trophies and Achievements for the rest of that session. Unlocking a phrase without switching it on costs nothing. Load a save from before the cheat to earn them again.
Do cheats affect 100% completion?
Only through saving. With a cheat on, the game will not save, so nothing done in that session reaches your file. Reload your last save from before the cheat and carry on.
Can I save the game with a cheat active?
No. The moment a cheat is switched on, manual saves and autosaves stop for that session, and switching it off again is not a reliable way back. Reload a save made before the cheat.
Do any of these work in Red Dead Online?
No. Cheats are story mode only. Red Dead Online has no cheat menu, and anything sold as an online money cheat is a mod menu that gets accounts banned.
How do I turn a cheat off?
Open Settings, then Cheats, and toggle it off. A phrase stays in the list once entered, so it never needs typing again. The effect stops, but saving stays off until you reload.
Why is my cheat not working?
Check the punctuation first: commas, full stops and question marks must match. Newspaper cheats also need that exact issue in your satchel, and spawn cheats will not work during a mission or activity.
