Fallout 3 opens the new era of Fallout series. Fans really like original games but they are skeptical of this new 3D game. Anyway, even if Fallout 3 doesn’t match the classic series it offers completely new post-apocalyptic standards. Casual players may be happy as developers added cheats inside the game. You can simply input them using the console. This article contains the most important cheats for Fallout 3!
At first, remember how to enable cheats. Press the Tilde key with this mark «~» during the game. This key opens the console where you can enter any text. Be sure to match the register and don’t type any extra symbols. Also, don’t try to enable cheats without opening the console as it can affect the gameplay significantly! Some cheats include several parts separated by spaces, be careful while typing them.
Cheats for gameplay
These codes change the game’s mechanics. Use them if you are stuck or just want to facilitate the gameplay. Note that words in brackets just mark that you have to enter certain number or amount, not these very words! Here are the most useful examples:
- tgm – enables the God Mode with an infinite amount of health, action points, and ammo.
- tai – disables AI of all enemies and freezes them. Type this again to enable AI.
- tcai – disables combat AI of all enemies, so they will not attack you. Works similar to tai.
- tcl – enables NoClip mode and allows you to walk through walls.
- tmm 1 – toggles all markers of locations on the map.
- CompleteAllObjectives – finishes the active quest with all of its stages.
- unlock – opens any selected at the moment door or terminal.
- tfc – enables free camera which is useful for screenshots.
- Kill – destroys any selected target including friendly and neutral NPCs.
- KillAll – destroys every NPC in the current location. Outside activating will kill everybody in the open air.
- player.additem (item code) (amount) (desired condition) – adds the item with entered code.
- player.placeatme (item or NPC code) (amount) – spawns certain item or NPC near the player.
Two last cheats are more complex than others. To add an item to your inventory or spawn it somewhere you have to enter its code, amount and specify a condition. An amount can be any but it’s not recommended to add too many items as it will slow the game greatly. The desired condition may vary from 1 to 100 where the highest number means the best quality. However, for ammo and miscellaneous items, you don’t have to specify the desired condition.
