“I have a plan, Arthur. We just need more money.”
We have all heard Dutch van der Linde say that a thousand times. And we have all felt the urge to type in a cheat code to get that cash instantly so we can finally go to Tahiti.
But here is the catch with Red Dead Redemption 2: Rockstar punishes you for cheating.
If you use the official cheat codes (like typing “Greed is now a virtue”), the game locks your Save File. You cannot save your progress, and achievements are disabled. It turns the game into a temporary sandbox with no consequences—and no progress.
Want to cheat AND save your game?
In this guide, we will show you how to bypass Rockstar’s restrictions. We will teach you how to get Red Dead Redemption 2 infinite money, skip the tedious Chapter 1 snow tutorial, spawn legendary animals, and teleport across the map—all while keeping your save file safe in 2026.

Editor’s View: The “Save Lock” Dealbreaker
“RDR2 is a masterpiece, but it respects your time about as much as Micah respects Arthur. The animations are slow, looting takes forever, and finding a 3-star Moose can take literal days.
I remember typing in the ‘Infinite Ammo’ code just to have some fun in Saint Denis, only to realize two hours later that Autosave was disabled. I lost all that progress.
That’s why I don’t use the Newspaper codes anymore. I use a memory trainer. It lets me play as a god-tier Gunslinger without turning my 100-hour playthrough into a waste of time.”
— Catherine Hu, Open World Game Writer at XMODhub
The Problem: Why Official Cheat Codes Are Useless
Rockstar included a classic cheat system in Red Dead Redemption 2. You buy newspapers in-game, find hidden phrases, and type them into the Settings menu.
- The Code:
Greed is now a virtue gives you $500.
- The Penalty: The moment you activate it, a warning pops up: “Saving, Trophies, and Achievements are disabled.”
This makes official cheats useless for story progression. They are only good for 5 minutes of rampage before you Alt+F4.
The Solution: XMODhub Trainer (Save Enabled)
XMODhub works differently. We don’t use the game’s developer console. We modify the values in your RAM directly.
- Official Code: Tells the game script “Activate Cheat Mode” -> Game logic disables saves.
- XMODhub: Tells the memory address “Current Cash = $999,999” -> Game logic thinks you just looted a really big train.
Result: You get the money, the ammo, and the health, but the game still lets you save and earn achievements.
Step-by-Step: How to Use XMODhub in RDR2
It is easier than skinning a rabbit.
- Launch Client: Open XMODhub on your PC.
- Start Game: Click “Play” within the client. This bypasses the Rockstar Launcher integrity check automatically.
- Load Save: Enter Story Mode.
- Activate: Press F1 to open the menu.
- Toggle: Enable “God Mode” or “Infinite Items”. You will hear a ‘Activated’ sound.
Top Cheat 1: Infinite Money (For Tahiti!)
Stop looting canned beans for 10 cents. To upgrade your Camp fully and buy the best Arabian horse, you need serious cash.
How to use XMODhub Money Cheat:
- Open the Trainer Overlay.
- Toggle “Infinite Money” or “Set Cash to 1 Million”.
- Open your Satchel or buy an item to refresh the UI.
- Boom: Your balance is now limitless.
Dutch can finally stop complaining.
Top Cheat 2: Perfect Pelts & Legendary Animals
Hunting is immersive, but frustrating. Shooting a deer in the wrong spot ruins the pelt quality, making it useless for crafting at the Trapper.
The XMODhub Hunting Pack:
- Always Perfect Pelts: No matter where you shoot the animal (even with a shotgun), the pelt will always drop as 3-Star (Perfect).
- Spawn Legendary Animals: Can’t find the Legendary White Bison? Use the “Entity Spawner” to spawn it right in front of you.
- Infinite Dead Eye: Keep time slowed down indefinitely to line up that perfect headshot.
Top Cheat 3: How to Skip Chapter 1 (Speedrun Mode)
Chapter 1 (Colter) is beautiful, but it is slow. Walking through deep snow at a snail’s pace is painful on a second playthrough.
While you cannot “delete” the chapter (it breaks scripts), you can Speedrun it in 20 minutes:
- Super Speed (Player): Set movement speed to 3.0x. Sprint through the snow like a machine.
- No Reload: Clear the O’Driscoll camp shootout in seconds.
- Ignore Stamina: Never stop running.
Alternative: Check the “Save Games” tab in XMODhub to download a “Chapter 2 Start (Horseshoe Overlook)” save file directly.
Top Cheat 4: Teleport & Reveal Map
The map is massive. Riding from Annesburg to Tumbleweed takes 15 minutes of real-time riding.
The XMODhub Solution:
- Open your Map (M).
- Place a Waypoint (Right Click) anywhere.
- Press the “Teleport to Waypoint” hotkey (usually F6).
- You appear there instantly. (Your horse will teleport with you!).
WARNING: Red Dead Online Safety
This is critical. Do NOT use XMODhub or any trainer in Red Dead Online (RDO).
Rockstar’s anti-cheat for Online is aggressive. While XMODhub is undetectable in Story Mode, using it in a multiplayer session creates “impossible data” (like teleporting) that server-side scripts will flag instantly.
- Story Mode: 100% Safe.
- Online: High Ban Risk. Keep it single-player, partner.
FAQ
Q: Do cheats in RDR2 disable achievements?
A: Official cheats DO. XMODhub cheats DO NOT. You can use our trainer to get 100% completion achievements (like “Best in the West”) without issues.
Q: Can I unlock the Legend of the East Outfit early?
A: Yes. Use the “Unlock All Outfits” toggle in the Inventory tab to access end-game clothing, including the Legend of the East satchel and outfit, right at the start of Chapter 2.
Q: Why can’t I save my game after using cheats?
A: You are likely using the in-game “Settings -> Cheats” menu. Disable those immediately and restart the game. Use the XMODhub trainer instead to enable saving.
Conclusion
Arthur Morgan’s story is tragic, but your gameplay experience doesn’t have to be a grind.
Whether you want to skip the snow, craft every item at the Trapper without hunting for weeks, or just have enough money to buy some mangoes in Tahiti, XMODhub gives you the freedom that the Van der Linde gang always dreamed of.
Ride free, Outlaw.
