How to Keep Cheats Active in Red Dead Redemption

Managing Cheats in Red Dead Redemption

Cheats in Red Dead Redemption (original PS3/Xbox 360/PC) are session-only. They disable automatically when you:

• Save the game
• Reload a save
• Start a new session
• Enter a mission (some cheats)

How to Re-Enable Quickly

1. Pause → Settings → Cheats.
2. Re-enter the code(s) you want.
3. Cheats remain active until next save/reload.

Cheat Code Entry

• Pause → Settings → Cheats → “Enter New Cheat.”
• Type the phrase exactly (case-insensitive). Example: I want to be a kid again (unlocks all outfits).
• Once entered, cheat appears in list; toggle on/off per session.

Important Consequences

• Achievements/Trophies DISABLED for that save file while cheats are active (even if toggled off after save).
• Auto-saves (after missions, etc.) count as saves—cheats turn off.
• No “permanent cheat” exists without save-file editing (PC only, via trainers/Save Wizard).

PC (Steam/RGL) Workaround

Use a trainer (Cheat Happens, FLiNG) to freeze money, health, ammo, etc., without disabling achievements (if trainer supports “stealth mode”). Or use Save Editors to modify money/items directly.

Best Practice: Play a clean save for achievements; keep a separate “cheat save” for fun.
