Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 is a vast adventure, one that's worth digging hours of time into just to see what all you can find in the Wild West world that's presented here. But for those of you who can't really wait and want to get stuff right away, well, there's kind of a way to do that.

A number of "cheats" for the game have been revealed, letting you do all sorts of cool stuff, from improving your stamina to gaining access to various weapons to bumping up your wanted level, if that's how dangerous you want to live.

Now, the cheat codes here are actually done through phrases, like newspaper headlines or simple sentences defining the experience of the West. And not all of them unlock stuff right away, as some require prerequisites, or getting something done before you can access them.

We've got a list of some of the best cheats below, along with any required tasks before you can get to them. To enter a cheat code, simply go to Settings while paused and press either the Triangle button on PS4 or the Y button on Xbox One. Then enter the code below (if you met the in-game goals) and enjoy!

Just keep something in mind. If you activate any cheat within the game, you won't be able to save and you won't earn either Achievements or Trophies. So they're more for fun than progression. Have fun!
