RDR1 Cheats: All 39 Codes & How to Unlock Every One

Red Dead Redemption 1 has 39 cheats total — 21 unlockable codes you enter manually and 18 Social Club cheats that unlock automatically when you boot the game (since Rockstar’s Social Club service is no longer active). Using any cheat disables autosave and blocks Trophies/Achievements for that session, so keep a clean save before you start experimenting.

Below you’ll find every code, what it does, and exactly how to enter it.

How to Enter Cheats in RDR1

Getting to the cheat menu takes about ten seconds once you know where to look. From the main pause screen, go to Options, then select Cheats. Press Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, or X on Switch to bring up the on-screen keyboard.

Type in the code exactly as shown — punctuation matters. Commas, apostrophes, and exclamation points are all part of the code string. Miss one and nothing happens. Once you enter a code successfully, it saves to your list permanently. Next time you just toggle it on or off from the menu — no need to retype it.

One thing worth noting: the game treats the cheat session as a separate state. The moment you activate any cheat, autosave shuts off and no Trophies or Achievements will register until you restart without cheats active. Save manually before doing any of this.

All 21 Unlockable RDR1 Cheats

These require you to input the code at least once. After that, they’re permanently saved to your menu. The codes are case-insensitive, but punctuation is not optional.

A few of these deserve extra attention. Jack Attack is the most destructive cheat on the list — it permanently marks every story mission as complete and replaces John with Jack for the rest of that save file’s session. Do not use this on your primary save unless you’ve already seen the ending. It also unlocks the full map, making Lewis and Clark somewhat redundant if you’re running both.

The Infinite Dead Eye code has a deliberate typo in it: “Imnfinity” with the extra N. That’s not a typo in this guide — it’s the actual required string. Enter it wrong and it won’t activate.

All 18 Social Club Cheats

These were originally gated behind a Rockstar Social Club account. Since that service shut down, all 18 are now available by default the moment you launch the game. No codes, no input required — they’ll appear in your cheats list automatically.

Guns Blazing combined with Rise Up and Right to Bear Arms produces the most explosive sandbox chaos the game allows. Every NPC turns hostile and every bullet detonates. Towns become warzones within thirty seconds. Hitchcock, on the other hand, is oddly specific — useful if you’re grinding bird-related challenges, though the cheat flag means none of that progress counts toward Achievements.

Cheat Restrictions That Actually Matter

The Trophy and Achievement lockout is the obvious one, but there are subtler consequences worth knowing before you go cheat-happy on a save you care about.

Autosave disables the moment any cheat is active. This isn’t just a warning — it means if you quit without manually saving in the regular menu, you lose everything done in that session. The game won’t remind you. It’ll just not save.

The Achievement block is session-wide, not cheat-specific. Turning off Invincibility mid-session doesn’t re-enable Trophy tracking. You need to quit to the main menu and reload without activating any cheats. Some players assume toggling cheats off is enough. It isn’t.

Jack Attack is permanent within a session and effectively irreversible without reloading a clean save. It doesn’t just change your outfit or stats — it rewrites your story progress flags and swaps the playable character. Loading a pre-Jack Attack save is the only fix.

The Money cheat gives exactly $500 per activation. It can be toggled repeatedly, but the gain per use is fixed. For reference, the Buffalo Rifle costs $200 in stores, so a few activations cover most early purchases — though again, no Achievements while doing it.

Best Cheats for Specific Situations

If you’re coming back to RDR1 just to have fun rather than earn anything, certain cheats pair well together depending on what you’re after.

For pure combat chaos: Infinite Ammo + Guns Blazing + Every Shot Counts. One-hit kills with explosive rounds and unlimited ammunition. Add Rise Up and Right to Bear Arms if you want actual resistance rather than a one-sided massacre.

For exploration without grind: Lewis and Clark (full map unlock) + Infinite Horse Stamina + Diplomatic Immunity. You can ride anywhere, anytime, without triggering wanted levels or worrying about your horse flagging out in the desert.

For outfit and weapon access early: Gang Chic, Sharply Dressed Man, Man in Uniform, plus Gun Sets 1–4 cover nearly every clothing set and weapon in the game. Run all four and you have the full wardrobe and armory from minute one.

The Beastmaster cheat is underrated for anyone who finds animal encounters frustrating. Cougars, bears, and wolves stop attacking entirely. Combined with Infinite Horse Stamina, cross-country rides become genuinely relaxing rather than a survival exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does using cheats in RDR1 permanently ruin your save?

No, but only if you’re careful. Cheats block Achievements and autosave for that session, but if you load a previous save made before activating any cheats, your progress is intact. The only permanent risk is using Jack Attack on a save you want to keep — that changes your character and story state in ways that don’t revert unless you load from before it was used.

How do you unlock God Mode in RDR1?

Type He gives strength to the weak into the Cheats menu keyboard. It’s listed as the Invincibility cheat. Once entered, it saves to your list and can be toggled on or off without re-entering the code.

What’s the exact code for infinite ammo?

The code is Abundance is everywhere — no punctuation needed for this one. Activating it works alongside Guns Blazing and Every Shot Counts without conflicts.

Can you get the RDR1 cheats on Switch?

Yes. The Nintendo Switch version supports all 39 cheats. Navigation is the same — Options → Cheats — and you press X to open the on-screen keyboard instead of Triangle or Y.

Is the Infinite Dead Eye code really spelled wrong?

Yes. The code is I don’t understand Imnfinity — with “Imnfinity” misspelled intentionally. Rockstar built the typo into the code itself, so you need to enter it exactly as shown for it to register.
