Fallout 4 cheats console commands and how to use them By Philip Palmer published 29 July 2022 Here s all the Fallout 4 cheats (Image: © Bethesda) Jump to: How to Open Console Universal Cheats Player Cheats Item Cheats Faction and Quest Cheats The wasteland is a dangerous place, and Fallout 4 cheats can help you stay alive in the world of glow-in-the-dark radroaches. Whether you're emerging into the bright sun of the world outside Vault 111 for the first time – late to the party – or you're coming back to the nuclear wastes for a visit while waiting for Fallout 5, it's critical to have control over your game. With how complicated Fallout 4 can be, from factions like the Brotherhood and the Minutemen to the complex settlement system, you're sure to need a helping hand to untangle a mess you've made for yourself. Or maybe you're just a nuclear auteur who wants finesse over how your post-apocalyptic journey will go, making sure that you've got just enough Stimpacks for the next encounter, advancing time to the golden hour or going into free-cam mode for screenshots. No matter what the reason you cheat, we don't judge your decisions, we're just here to help you live out your dreams. Thankfully, those dreams can come true, since unlike cheating in Fallout 76 nobody is there to stop you. The rest is all between you and your Pip-Boy.

Getting your Fallout 4 cheats going is as simple as opening the developer console. By default, all you've got to do is press the ` (tilde) key, which is located in the top left of your keyboard, left of the 1 key. That will pop open the developer console for you, and you can type in the command you want and hit enter to confirm it. If you're attempting a command that requires you to target something, you can move your mouse over things in your field of view with the cursor to show the ID on the screen.
