Fallout 4 cheats and console commands to change the nuclear wasteland (2024)

Fallout 4 cheats and console commands make surviving the irradiated wastes of the Commonwealth much easier, allowing you to change the world, spawn items at will and just generally screw with NPCs. There are a lot of other things you can do with console commands from just teleporting around, clipping through walls, and be invincible. They let you wander out into the wastes to soak in the sights (and rads) of Fallout 4 without having to constantly look over your shoulder.

However, be aware that turning on too many cheats at once will likely crash the game. These console command and cheats are only available on PC, but PS5 and Xbox players can always check out some the best Fallout 4 mods to see if they’ll have things that can help.

Here's a list of useful Fallout 4 cheats and console commands to use.

How to use Fallout 4 console commands

To apply Fallout 4 console commands you just need to hit the tilde (~) key in-game to reveal the developer console, then enter the command code with the required variables to define it. You can stack effects by typing in multiple commands, then press tilde again when you're done to go back into the game. In most cases, typing in the same code again will reverse the original effect.

As for any game where you're tinkering around with codes and playing in ways that weren't originally intended, it's highly likely that some of these commands, or combinations of them, can produce game-breaking glitches or crash everything. For that reason you should always create a back up save before you start messing about, so you have a 'safe' save to fall back on should you break everything. Don't forget that using Fallout 4 cheats will also disable achievements, so you'll need a legit gae or sace if you want to keep earning awards.
