How to use newspaper cheats in Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 cheats Newspaper Cheat Code

Newspaper cheats must be unlocked by purchasing a particular newspaper or finding the correct document, item, or location and examining it first. Note that it isn’t enough to just have the item in your inventory, you need to look at the cheat for it to become enterable.

You can buy newspapers in the following locations:

  • Blackwater Ledger: Blackwater and Strawberry
  • New Hanover Gazette: Annesburg and Valentine
  • Saint Denis Times: Rhodes and Saint Denis

The table below also denotes when each newspaper becomes available. You may want to make buying them a priority after you complete the prerequisites for more to be released as it is possible that some of them are unavailable for purchase later in the game.
