How to Enable & Use the Console in XCOM 2

Command the console!

XCOM 2 is an awesome game, but sometimes things can bug out, or gameplay can get boring. The console is a great way to fix these problems, regardless of whether you need to literally fix something, or if you want to spice up gameplay, or skip past a certain mission or point in the game.

This guide will take you through the basics of the console in XCOM 2. Use the links below to jump to a particular point in the guide:

How to Enable the XCOM 2 Console

The console is enabled via the -allowconsole launch option. The way launch options are added depends on whether you’re playing the game through Steam or not.

Steam

If you’re playing XCOM 2 on Steam, the process to enable the console is relatively simple. First, open up Steam and go to your «Library» (top left, next to «Store»). Then, right click XCOM 2 and select «Properties», as illustrated below:

After opening up the Properties Window, click «Set Launch Options. «, and enter the following into the box:

After typing that into the launch options box, hit OK. Below is an image of what the launch options box should look like:

After adding the launch option, the console is enabled. See How to Use the XCOM 2 Console below for help opening and using it after loading up the game.

You can optionally add -log (for a log window to open with the game) or -autodebug (to enable debug options for the game as well).

Non-Steam Versions

Enabling the XCOM 2 console on non-Steam versions of the game is just as easy as doing it through Steam. First, you’ll want to navigate to the location you installed the game to, which is probably at C:\Program Files\XCOM 2 or C:\Program Files (x86)\XCOM 2 , then head to the following folder:

When in that folder, right click ModLauncherWPF.exe (it may display as just «ModLauncherWPF») and create a shortcut, see the below picture for help:

After creating the shortcut, right click the shortcut (not the original file) and click «Properties». In the properties menu add -allowconsole to the end of the target text box (with a space before), as is displayed in the below image:

After doing that, hit «Apply», and close out of the properties window. Then launching XCOM 2 from the newly created shortcut will launch the game with the console enabled.

If you have a shortcut on your desktop, or another location, you can instead add the launch option in the target field to that shortcut, and then the game will have the console enabled when you open it from that shortcut.

How to Use the XCOM 2 Console

The console in XCOM 2 can be opened by pressing one of the following keys on your keyboard (depends on keyboard layout):

(tilde)

‘ (single quote, works on UK keyboards)

\ (backslash, opens small console in bottom of screen)

You can close the console by pressing ESC , or the same key you opened it with.

Using the console is pretty simple, simply type a console command into the console and hit ENTER to send it.

Sometimes commands require arguments, these are extra words or numbers you add to a command to tell it what to do. All arguments are separated by spaces. An example of a command with an argument is the giveactionpoints [amount] command. In this command [amount] is an argument — it tells the command how many action points to add. If you were to replace [amount] with 5, the command would be giveactionpoints 5 — this would add 5 action points.

If you’re looking for commands to use with the console, check out our comprehensive list of all commands in the game by clicking the button below:

That’s all there is to enabling and using the console in XCOM 2. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on Twitter @ConsoleCMDs.

XCOM 2 Cheats

Below is a list of all XCOM 2 console commands from the latest version of the game. These XCOM 2 cheat codes work with the console for all PC / Mac versions of the game including the Steam and non-Steam versions. Commands from all official DLCs (such as War of the Chosen) are also included.

The console in XCOM 2 can be enabled by adding -allowconsole to your game’s launch options. You can then open it from the game by pressing the

, ‘ , or \ key on your keyboard (the key that will work depends on your keyboard layout). If you don’t know how to enable the console, or need help using it, click the below button:

In the below list of XCOM 2 cheats, some commands are marked with Avenger and Mission tags. These commands will likely only work when you are in a mission or in the Avenger (respective to the tag they are given). If you use a Mission command when in the Avenger, the game may not recognize the command (and vice versa).

Addtionally, some commands are from DLCs, and will only work if you have the required DLC installed. For example, the BondSoliders command is tagged with War of the Chosen — it will only work if you have WOTC installed.

Clicking the «Table View» and «Card View» buttons will change the way commands are displayed on your screen, some users find specific formats easier to use. More help and information including IDs and working command examples can be found on each command’s page. You can visit a command’s page by clicking on its name in the Table or Card View.
