I was messing around with the cheats the other day using unlimited ammo, invincibility, and the codes to get the rest of the outfits that I hadn't yet got, and after I started killing like 10 people in under a short amount of time, I was wanted by the police (I had the agent uniform on, I wasn't suppose to be targeted by the law), and I got absolutely murdered by a posse with shottys, then it. Just use whatever cheats you want, then complete the 2nd mission of chapter 4 (the one where you save johns son). Then you should be able to save again when everyone is singing by the campfire. You might have to reload first. You wont be able to use cheats again unless Rockstar stops being dumb, but at least you can stock up.

One of the worst things that can happen when playing a massive open-world game like Red Dead Redemption 2 is finding out that your progress didn’t save after an extensive play session. There is an autosave system in the game, but manual saves tend to give a bit more peace of mind. In this guide, we’ll explain how to save in Red Dead Redemption 2 so that you don’t have to gamble on whether the autosave system correctly saved your progress.

How to Save in Red Dead Redemption 2

To manually save your game, start by opening the Pause menu. From the list, scroll down to the Story section and then select Save Game from the list of options. Choose the save slot to save your progress on to finish saving your game. If you want to make sure your session was properly saved, you can return to the Story category and select Load Game, where you should now see your most recent manual save file.

Red Dead Redemption 2 offers multiple save game slots, which means you can have more than one save file for the game. This comes in handy when you want to have multiple types of playthroughs or if you’re looking to experiment with certain game mechanics without being forced to live with the in-game consequences. Just make sure you are saving over the correct save files when manually saving, otherwise you may overwrite the wrong playthrough and lose hours of progress.

Make sure to save your game before and after any major event to ensure you are exactly where you want to be if you need to reload from a previous save. Now that you know how to save in Red Dead Redemption 2, you should be able to freely experiment with the game and tackle the obstacles that lie ahead.
