Fallout 4 console commands and cheats: god mode, freecam and more (2024)

Looking for Fallout 4 cheats and console commands? These are a great way of bringing a little order to Boston's nuclear wasteland—well, maybe not order per se, but they can certainly give you a bit more control over the game.

Perhaps you want to nab a nice screenshot and need to move the camera to get the best angle, or maybe you want to move yourself through teleportation. Then there's the slightly more noble action of bringing NPCs back to life. Whatever the reason for using them, Fallout 4 cheats make the post-apocalyptic world your oyster.

You can unlock the console by pressing the tilde key (~), which allows you to change your stats, speed up time, and spawn monsters or weapons with the simple press of a key. Simply activate the console, type in the command, hit Enter and close the console and watch as the cheat takes effect. It's worth noting that the tilde key might not work, depending on your keyboards regional settings—in which case, try the apostrophe key instead.

Now, with all the technical stuff out of the way, here's a list of all the Fallout 4 cheats and console commands.

Fallout 4 cheats and console commands

Fallout 4 toggle and debug console commands

Fallout 4 toggle and debug console commands

• tgm — Toggles god mode, our old friend.
• tcl — Toggles collision. Walk through walls. Walk into the sky. Be free.
• tfc — Activates free camera.
• tfc 1 — Same as above, but freezes all animations. Great for screenshots.
• tm — Toggles menus and UI on and off. It even stops you from seeing the console, so you'll have to press tilde and type tm again blind to get the UI back.
• csb — Resets blood splatter/explosion dust/etc. screen effects.
• fov [first-person FOV] [third-person FOV] — Change the FOV. Enter 0 for either to reset to default.
