Red Dead Redemptioncheats are a great way to get ahead of the herd and give yourself some extra buffs when you’re up against the Pinkertons. Let’s face it: Even though Red Dead Redemption feels like a tale as old as time now some of those gunfights are still brutal. From altering your bounty and fame to spawning in horses and guns, there are plenty of cheat codes to give you a leg up into the saddle. But tracking these codes down can be hard work—it’s essentially a wild west scavenger hunt.
