Fallout 4 Cheats and Console Commands
Now, with all the technical stuff out of the way, here’s a list of all the Fallout 4 cheats and console commands that you can use on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in the game. By using the following cheats you can carry weight, add perks points, and items, level up, and gain unlimited ammo. So, let’s begin.
Cheat Code | Cheat Effect |
tgm | Good old god mode. |
tcl | No collision. Walk through walls. Walk into the sky. Be free. |
tfc | Activates free camera. |
tfc 1 | Same as above, but freezes all animations. Great for screenshots. |
tm | Toggles menus and UI on and off. It even stops you from seeing the console, so you’ll have to press tilde and type tm again blind to get the UI back. |
csb | Resets blood and damage effects. |
fov [first-person FOV] [third-person FOV] | Change the FOV. |
set timescale to [insert number here] | Speeds up or slows down time. The default setting is 16. 1 is real-time, and 10,000 is a crazy spectacular timelapse. Be sure to look when time’s on fast forward because the sun and the moon actually bounce across the sky. |
coc [cell id] | Teleports the player to an area |
Example: coc RedRocketExt
Finding item and NPC IDs
Many of these commands require knowledge of IDs for items, NPCs, location names, and factions. When the console is open, clicking on a character or item will display its ID.
Many commands affect the targeted character, which is whoever you clicked on. It can sometimes be challenging to obtain the correct ID, as it’s easy to accidentally select yourself. Using free cam (tfc) can assist, and you can also search for commands and IDs online.
Cheat Code | Cheat Effect |
help [item name] [0-4] | Searches items, characters, commands, and more. Use Page Up and Page Down to scroll. 0 searches for everything. |
coc qasmoke | This teleports you to a room with a number of boxes that contain every single item in the game. Surreal, but a good way to find item IDs. You can find an item ID by entering the console and clicking on the item in the game world with your mouse. It turns out that Dogmeat’s real name is 0001d162. |
Example: help “attack dog” 0 would let you know that there’s an NPC called ‘attack dog’ with the ID 000B2BF2. Make sure to use quotes when searching for two or more words.
Change your Character With Fallout 4 Console Commands
Listed are all the cheats & console commands through which you can change your character in Fallout.
Cheat Code | Cheat Effect |
showlooksmenu player 1 | Reopens the character customization menu so you can change your look. You’ll want to have your character’s face centered on the screen for this one. |
player.setrace [race id] | Change your race (e.g. ghoul, mutant). Find race IDs with the help function, but beware of adverse side effects (most races just make it crash). |
Example: player.setrace GhoulRace
player.resethealth | Resets your health. |
setgs fJumpHeightMin [insert number here] | Modifies your jump. Set it really high to vault over buildings like the Incredible Hulk. Warning, if you don’t turn on god mode, the falling damage from your own jump will kill you. |
tdetect | The AI won’t detect you anymore. Steal to your heart’s content. |
player.modav [skill] [number] | Boost a skill by a numerical amount of your choosing. Eg. player.modav strength 10 will boost your strength by ten points. If there’s a terminal you’d love to hack or an NPC you’d love to persuade, use this. However, if you want to unlock perks, use the next command. |
player.setav [character variable] [number] | Sets a character trait to a new value. Unlike modav, this will unlock perks when you change your stats. |
player.setav speedmult [insert number here] | The number you type in adds a multiplier to your running speed, with hilarious consequences. Use it in combination with god mode and the next command to go full superhero. |
player.setlevel [insert number] | Boost your level to the number specified. |
player/additem 0000000f [insert number here] | Adds bottlecaps equal to the number you specify. |
player/additem 0000000a [insert number here] | Adds bobbypins equal to the number you specify. |
player.additem [item ID] [number] | You may have noticed a pattern in the last two commands. Yes, you can add ANY item to your inventory this way as long as you know the item ID (see above for instructions for finding IDs). |
