Cheats in Redemption

Cheat Warning!
Cheats allow the player to access a variety of features and resources in the game immediately. However, in RDR this instant gratification comes at a steep price: If you don't really care about achievements, you don't need to be careful with your game saves. However - if, down the road, you decide to start accumulating those achievements, you'll need to start over with a new game, or restore a "clean" game save.
 * Using cheats will block Achievements/Trophies (Xbox Live/PSN)
 * Any game saves made after invoking a cheat are forever "tainted" as Cheat-Saves

If you decide to go down the cheat path, keep in mind that RDR game save files can be copied to an external storage device (some games don't allow this). Backup your game save files, and cheat all you want.

Lastly - Cheat-Saves are easy to identify - the save description begins with a star within parentheses. For instance, this is a Cheat-Save: Slot 2           (*) 8/6/2010 19:03, Spare the rod, spoil the bandit

How to Enter and Use Cheats
To add new cheats, go to the Options menu and select the "Cheats" option. Then press "Triangle" (PS3) or "Y" (Xbox 360) and type in the cheat phrase (from our handy table below!) Once activated, you cannot obtain Achievements/Trophies and will have to load a previous save to do so once more.

Some cheats can also be found in the bottom corner of in-game Newspapers or written on the walls of certain structures. Other cheats become available after successfully linking your Xbox Live or PSN account with the Rockstar Social Club (see below).

''Note: Cheats ARE case sensitive and they do require the correct commas and punctuation. Also, some cheats may only work for the PS3.''

Join the Club!
Several additional cheats are added to your list by creating an account on the Rockstar Games Social Club and linking it with your Xbox Live Gamer Tag/PSN account. The following cheats are not added via a code; instead the player has to 'Claim' those cheats from the website which will be automatically activated on the console. (An internet connection will be needed).

It may also require that you restart the game to let the cheats sync with the game.
