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


togglefow - opens up the entire map (Clears fog of war)


...and here is a list with certain items you can add:

additem CritUpgrade_Sup 5
additem AimUpgrade_Sup 5
additem ClipSizeUpgrade_Sup 5
additem FreeFireUpgrade_Sup 5
additem ReloadUpgrade_Sup 5
additem MissDamageUpgrade_Sup 5
additem FreeKillUpgrade_Sup 5
additem EpicPCSSpeed 5
additem EpicPCSConditioning 5
additem EpicPCSFocus 5
additem EpicPCSPerception 5
additem EpicPCSAgility 5
additem heavyplatedarmor 1 = E.X.O. Suit.
additem lightplatedarmor 1 = Spider Suit.
additem heavypoweredarmor 1 = W.A.R. Suit.
additem lightpoweredarmor 1 = Wraith Suit.
....etc


For the GiveFacility cheat, you need to add the mapindex behind it. it starts at 3 (topleft spot).
So 3,4,5 are at the top. 6,7,8 below that.

GiveFacility PsiLabs
GiveFacility EleriumGenerator
....etc


NOTE: you have to own at least 1 of these supplies to add more

giveresource supplies (insert number)
giveresource EleriumDust (insert number)
giveresource Alienalloy (insert number)
giveresource intel (insert number)
giveresource EleriumCore (insert number)
giveresource CorpseAdventTrooper (insert number)

giveresource CorpseBerserker (insert number)
giveresource CorpseArchon (insert number)
giveresource CorpseMuton (insert number)
giveresource CorpseAdventMEC (insert number)
....etc

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!

***PLEASE FAVORITE AND RATE THIS GUIDE! I WILL UPDATE IT WHEN I FIND NEW CODES! IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING NOT LISTED HER, LET ME KNOW***

The game wouldn't be fun if you would never risk taking any damage! May as well play Mario Bros then. The game is perfect as it is (except for the missed 100% shots!).

[xthunderstix]

also for the corpsechryssalid you have to have one to add more

[xthunderstix]

additem corpsechryssalid ##. will work needed for hellfireweave armor

Great cheats and tweaks

However I have found a couple of problems:

1) RemoveFortressDoom DoomToRemove 1 - I does not always work and usually when we get to 1 Advancement left I can't remove it.

2) giveresource supplies (insert number) = CASH - This does not appear to work. I am constantly being told I have 'Low Income' or no income is showing. I have to contact other areas to increase or get more income. £hen I use this 'cheat' nothing happens.

Of course it is very possible that I am doing something wrong and if so please accept my apologies.

Any comments about this will be welcomed.

Take care.

Awesome graphic tweaks, and nothing against cheat codes, but XCOM 2 tbh is way more fun when the heat is up and you can only turn to yourself to figure things out.

Bones -
Yes it works with modded saves

Lord -
No it does not

[Angel~Coop]

Thankyou

[LordHobbs]

Will this disable Ironman mode/achievements?

[CEO OF DIEING]

i made a new game to test this and moved my current save file to a new file and it seems to work well, i wont abuse it though but thank you

[Panter_Lectuer]

Seems like the Doom removal does have a "hardcap" based on story progression. By May, it can't be reduced lower than 4
