Do cheats disable achievements?

[Leggy McBendy]

I've beaten this game a million different ways. I wanna jump into some later levels since i simply over played the start of each of these games throughout my life time. Idk if using IDKFA or console commands disables the achievements. No biggie if not. Regardless I'm very happy they made this so easily accessible to all players. Thats just so awesome.

Thank you in advance!

No, they don't. But you don't need to use cheats if you want to select the last level to beat a game, there is an option to do just that when you choose to start a new game.

I just tested it and I feel dumb for not trying harder lol. And I know about the level select, I just dont wanna pistol start them. Thats pretty much why i wanted to see if console commands/cheats qorked without disabling achievements.
Regardless, thank you for the quick response!

Most dooms are not that hard with pistol start. Most levels catch you up on the worst enemies. I did the last levels of doom1 and they gave me a ton of rocket ammo later that was just fine for the cyberdemon and other enemies.

I don't think most of the levels were designed to make you fail just cause you had a pistol, plenty of stuff along the way if you search and explore.

I was searching as I had this same question... I accidentally overwrote my only save after dying on 11.circle of death, thinking that it would load me back to when I entered the level, and then finding out all my weapons were gone... I got through, as you say there are plenty of weapons to be found. But I'm now starting 16.suburbs and I still haven't found a new super shotgun... which is one of the most enjoyable things in Doom 2, not having it is really hurting my experience. So I'm just going to give myself it with the console now that I know it shouldn't hurt my achievements :) thank you!

Every level in Doom and 2 are designed so that the player can beat it with a pistol. This is backed up by Sandy Petersen. Although, I don't like doing pistol starts (been there and done that) because I like having all "muh guns".

They also still make some accommodations for progressive players. Ever notice that a bunch of levels have healing pick-ups at the start, even though pistol starts give you full health?

I always thought it was because they were being considerate of co op players? I did notice though for sure. Pistol starts do "feel" a bit different now than it used to. Probably just in my head.
