The console commands for Fallout New Vegas have contributed to the game’s longevity, as the game is still quite popular on PC despite its release in 2010. While Bethesda worked on projects like Skyrim, the game’s development was outsourced to Obsidian. Despite this, the Courier’s journey through the Mojave Wasteland is one of the most well-known Fallout adventures.
Console commands allow gamers to customise their gaming experience, acting as cheats in some circumstances and quick remedies in others. Players must hit the backquote key (‘) or () to open the console. The key for these two symbols is the same.
The best console commands for Fallout New Vegas
Here’s a rundown of all the most helpful console commands, along with an explanation of what they do:
Code | Effect |
tgm | God mode code. Provides Infinite health, encumbrance, and infinite ammo. |
tdm | Demigod mode code. Just infinite health and encumbrance. |
tfc | Toggles free camera. |
tm | Toggles UI and menus on and off. |
tcl | No clipping mode, allows player to phase through the environment. |
tmm 1 | Adds all map markers. |
tmm o | Removes all map markets |
Killall | All NPCs, enemies and animals nearby are killed. |
set timescale to <#> | Speeds up or slows down in-game time. Put this to 30 to reset to default. |
Spawn In-game characters/items
The console commands in Fallout New Vegas can also be used to spawn monsters and goods. The only snag is that you’ll need to know that item’s or enemy’s unique ID. The good news is that you can find all of your IDs right here. Bring up the console and type: player to use each code.
To use each code, bring up the console and type: player.additem followed by a space, the ID, another space then the quantity. It should look something like this:
For example: player.additem 0013BF53 1
You’d be the proud owner of the evil Caesar’s armour if you typed the above into the console. You can remove an item from your inventory by typing: player.removeitem <code_id> <quantity>
