All Fallout 4 console commands and cheats

War, war always cheats.

Remember the glory days of cheats in (single-player) video games? Those are mostly gone, but luckily the people behind the GTA series at Rockstar, and the people behind Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series at Bethesda maintain the quaint flame alive by giving players a wide array of shady functionali♏ties they can use to make their experience mo💝re fun.

Let’s have a look at all the console commands and cheats in Fallout 4.

How to enter cheats in Fallout 4

You introduce cheats in Fallout 4 via the game’s console, but opening the console isn’t equally simple for everyone. Some players will be able to open the console by using the ~ (tilde) key, while others will hit it and see no results. That’s because the default key to open the game’s console is whatever key is to the left of your Return (or Enter) key, which might or might not be the ~ key.
