Minimal Viewmodels, and other assorted console commands

[lol no]

You know how in Source and in older idTech iterations you could change your first-person hand/gun model (viewmodel) by using console commands like viewmodel_fov, viewmodel_offset_override, g_fov, and g_gunXYZ?
Well, you can still do that in Doom Eternal by using the hands_offsetXYZ and hands_fov command, available via unlocking the console externally.
Specifically, a popular-ish Battlemode/Campaign player named Simploooo has made his own "minimized viewmodel" option by using hands_offsetZ -0.04 and hands_offsetX 0.10 respectively. I tried it myself and it works absolutely great! Makes the gun models work with the crosshair way better in my opinion!

And also, there's another command called g_damageScaleAllToSlayer which allows you to make everything deal much more or much less damage to you in the campaign, thus allowing for extra challenge modes like 3ternal!
Intriguingly enough there's g_demoHealth that makes your health and armor drain constantly like you're playing Doom 3 on its crazy Nightmare difficulty!

Edit: There's also r_skylighting which if set to 0 disables ALL lights emitted from the sky and gives the game a more night-like/gloomy look.

Well, this got no attention whatsoever...

None. Well, I'm not sure if you can play Battlemode with the console unlocked, but in Singleplayer, everything works as usual

No repercussions since Update 1.1, everything still works fine if you unlock the console.

Whats the best way to unlock console? Still only through CE i guess?
The weapon models look MUCH better this way. Must have.

hands_offsetZ -.08
hands_offsetX .2
hands_offsetY 0

My minimal viewmodels which emulate the ones seen in TF2.

How do I enable the colsole with CE though ? I thought you'd need a cheat table for that but there is no cheat table for the current version of the game I think.

There is.

Also, I just found out that you don't need CE in order to unlock the console: by modding the game through patching tools, the console will be unlocked anyway.
