Fallout New Vegas Cheat Codes [October 2026]

Fallout New Vegas cheat codes are actually console commands, because the game has no redeemable codes or code entry screen at all. On PC, every cheat in this guide is typed into the developer console. Press the ~ key to open it, type the command exactly as shown, press Enter, then press ~ again to close the console. These console commands are unchanged since the game’s 2010 launch and were re-verified as current, from god mode and free bottle caps to item IDs and quest tools, so keep this list handy for your next trip through the Mojave.

These “cheats” are more than shortcuts; they are built-in developer tools. They can be used to fix broken quests, recover from game-breaking bugs, experiment with builds, or simply to have fun with near-godlike power. Accessing this power is exclusive to the PC version of the game.

How to Access and Use the Console

The gateway to all cheats is the Debug Console. To open it, simply press the tilde (~) or backquote (`) key on your keyboard during gameplay. The game will pause, and a text input field will appear.

To use a command, type it exactly as shown and press Enter. Commands are not case-sensitive. For commands that require additional information, like an item ID, replace the placeholder with the correct code. Close the console by pressing the ~ key again to resume your game.

Essential Cheat Codes and Console Commands

Here are the most useful and powerful commands to get you started. These are the foundational tools for controlling your game.

Player and Gameplay Cheats

These commands alter your character’s core abilities and the rules of the game world.

tgm: Toggle God Mode. Makes you invulnerable, grants infinite ammo (no reloading), and removes carry weight limits.
tcl: Toggle Collision. Enables “noclip” mode, allowing you to walk through walls, objects, and terrain.
tdetect: Toggles AI detection, making you completely undetectable by NPCs for perfect stealth.
tmm 1: Reveals all map markers on your world map for instant fast-travel access. Use 0 to hide them again.
kill: Kills the NPC or creature you have selected with your console cursor.
resurrect: Brings a selected dead NPC or creature back to life.
tdm: Toggle Demigod Mode. A weaker version of god mode: your health regenerates quickly, but you can still take damage.
tfc: Toggle Free Camera. Detaches the camera so you can fly around the world for scouting or screenshots.
tm: Toggle Menus. Hides the entire user interface for clean screenshots. Type it again to bring the UI back.
killall: Kills all nearby NPCs and creatures except essential ones. Use with caution, since killing quest characters can break quests.
tcai: Toggle Combat AI. With it off, NPCs will not fight or attack you.
tai: Toggle Artificial Intelligence. Switches all NPC and creature AI on or off completely.
unlock: Unlocks the door, container, or terminal you have selected with the console cursor, with no key or lockpick skill needed.

Inventory and Item Spawning

The most common use for console commands is adding items. The universal command is:
player.additem [Base ID] [Quantity]

For example, player.additem 0000000f 1000 adds 1000 Bottle Caps to your inventory. The table below lists essential item IDs. Two more inventory commands are worth knowing: player.showinventory lists everything you carry along with each item’s ID, and player.removeitem [Base ID] [Amount] deletes items from your inventory.

Step-By-Step Guide To Using Console Commands

Follow these simple steps to successfully use any console command.

Open the Console: While playing, press the ~ key (located below the Escape key). The game will pause.
Enter Your Command: Type the desired command exactly as listed. For item codes, use the format: player.additem [ID] [Amount].
Execute and Close: Press Enter to run the command. You may see a confirmation message. Press the ~ key again to close the console and return to the game.
Verify: Check your inventory, stats, or the game world to ensure the command worked as intended.

Advanced Tips and Best Practices

Finding More IDs: The lists here are just the beginning. For the complete list of thousands of items, perks, and quest IDs, community resources like the Fallout Wiki are essential.
Working with Mods and DLC: Items from mods or DLC (like Dead Money or Gun Runners’ Arsenal) have special IDs. The first two digits of the ID (represented as xx) change based on your load order. Tools like Mod Organizer 2 or FNVEdit can help you find the correct prefix.
Back Up Your Saves: Console commands cannot always be undone, so keep a clean save from before you started experimenting, especially with commands that change NPCs, factions, or quests.
Use for Good: The console is the best tool for fixing bugs. If a quest item falls through the world, use tcl it to retrieve it. If a critical NPC dies, use resurrect. If you get stuck, coc it can teleport you to safety.

You can buy the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas on Steam, and look up thousands more item IDs on the Fallout Wiki. For more Bethesda RPG cheats, see our Fallout 4 cheats and Fallout 76 cheats guides.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use cheats on Xbox or PlayStation?

You cannot. The developer console and all cheat commands are exclusive to the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas.

Can using console commands break my game?

They can if used carelessly. Commands like killall can eliminate quest-critical NPCs. Always save your game before experimenting with new commands, especially those affecting quests or the world state.

While tgm includes it, the dedicated command is player.modav carryweight [number]. This adds to your base carry weight. For example, player.modav carryweight 1000 gives you a massive boost.

How do I change my faction reputation?

Use the addreputation or setreputation commands. You will need the specific Faction ID. For example, to add fame with the NCR, you’d use: addreputation 000f43de 1 30.
