Console Commands or Cheats?

[Rogue Sins]

So I'm REALLY bad at these kinds of games but I'm really enjoying playing it and the story. Are there any kind of console commands, cheats or mods(I imagine no to mods right away) that could make it a little easier?

I'm damn near out of money and with the contracts I got and how bad I am, I won't be able to keep going. With these kind of games I usually just like screwing around and where it's singleplayer there's no harm in it.

From what I've seen the saves are unreadable and cheat engine does not appear to work. It may take some time for people to figure out.

The Shadowrun games all had consoles. I forgot how to bring it up, I should look it up and then try it on this game.

Looks like it was Ctrl+Shift+F1 but that isn't doing anything for me.

While ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around I believe I hit Ctrl+Shift+F6 and suddenly every pilot I had was injured for 20 days.

Edit: It was definitely those buttons I reloaded my save and tried again.

I know that CheatEngine works on the game. CH also has a trainer out already.
If people want to cheat, it's simple enough. lol

@Rogue Sins
If you just want money, open up the game in CheatEngine, and do a 4 byte search for your money value. Should only come up with a few options. You can just change them all to something massive, then when you buy something you'll see the value change.

Some of my friends have been doing that to buy lots of weapons and mess with loadouts during the campaign.

Personally I'd like to cheat for XP. But I haven't tried yet. :p

I swear to god I've tried it 3 times with no success but this time it did work I couldn't iron it down to one value so I changed all 12 that returned for the value of money I had at that time. Just a minute ago I only had 2 returns and changed both with no success.

Best time to use Cheat Engine in Shadowrun is when you create the character. After character creation, the most I could modify was money.

Battletech is a different beast all together and I haven't explored what can be edited with Cheat Engine.

Money and inventory levels are the two things I'd target first.

Yeah Cheat Engine does not work Either A: you get 13 matches yet when you buy something you get NO matches after or No match at all. I think someone should give a mroe step by step guide if they claim Cheat engine works Cause It ain't

Cheat Engine works for cash, sort of.
Tried it just a minute ago. I got 9 initial results, changed all of them (which is usually a terrible idea) and it worked.

For XP and such you're probably better off editing the json files.

In case anyone is still looking for a way to get money at least, another user posted this and I can confirm it works.


You can edit the cost of a cheap item, say a Small laser, sell it, then edit the cost back down.

Browse to the following folder:
*YourSteamInstallationFolder*\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\weapon\

Open the "Weapon_Laser_SmallLaser_0-STOCK.json" file with a text editor, find the:

"Cost" : 20000,

- entry and change it to a high number, such as making it 10 million, which would get you 1 million C-Bills per sale back in the shop.

Remember to change it back later and always back up any files you edit just in case!

What i'd like is a instant refit cheat. Repairs can take time, it's fine - but i want to mess around with loadouts without waiting.

does this not work now? every time i try i cannot load my saved file

Still works, you just put too many zeros for the game to display. Worked if the price was in the hundred millions but anything higher would not load my game.
