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.
