Xcom 2 CHEATS & TWEAKS

Helpful cheats, tools, and tricks I’ve learned from the game that I’d like to share with the world!

PLEASE NOTE: I recommend that you save your game-files before you mess with them. I take no responsibility if you lose it.

CONSOLE

Follow these simple steps to enable the console in-game:

1. find xcom 2 in your steam library
2. right click, and go down to properties
3. click “set launch options”
4. type in: -allowconsole
5. click ok

The console can be opened with different keys depending on what keyboard layout you have, such as this key: ~ 

OTHER USEFUL LAUNCH OPTIONS: 

• -nostartupmovies = get rid of the annoying intro and get right into the game!

CHEATS

When you have the console enabled there’s a bunch of things you can do.

Here is the codes most people are probably looking for:

giveengineer 1 – Gives 1 engineer staff

givescientist 1 -Gives 1 scientist staff

giveresource supplies (insert number) = CASH

TakeNoDamage – your squad is immune to damage, also known as godmode

PowerUp – take no damage, no need to reload, unlimited movement – even better godmode!

LevelUpBarracks – get 1 rank up on ALL soldiers in the barracks

The main story progress can be happening faster then you want, to help you lower the “heat” level and focus on other things, use these codes in the console:

• RemoveFortressDoom DoomToRemove 1

There’s a lot more that just haven’t been discovered yet. Please let me know if you find more codes that can be added. Also, make sure to check steam workshop for mods. Some mods make the guns better, armor, classes, skills, etc.

HELP THE GAME RUN BETTER

Xcom 2 is not great optimized. Follow these steps to increase framrate:

• Disable: anti aliasing
• Disable: Depth of field
• Disable: action camera

I’m running this game with a high-end graphics card and I still got lots of FPS-drops. When I turned these options off my framerate went from 30 to between 60-90 fps most of the time!
