Can you earn achievements and trophies with cheats enabled in ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’?

Thankfully, you can earn achievements and trophies with cheats enabled, as the game doesn’t save once you enable at least one cheat. This means that when you load the game back up you will spawn back where you first enabled your cheats losing any progress you made with them enabled.

This means you can head back and complete any tasks, upgrade any parts of the camp, complete missions without being locked out of earning achievements or trophies. However, you can’t actually earn them when cheats are enabled, as the game doesn’t save your progress.
