Fallout: New Vegas, a sprawling post-apocalyptic RPG, offers players immense freedom to shape their experience. While the game's narrative is compelling enough on its own, the console commands provide a powerful tool for those seeking greater control or simply a bit of fun. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of useful commands, categorized for easy navigation. Remember: using console commands can significantly alter the gameplay experience and potentially break the game, so use them judiciously.

Accessing the Console

Before diving into the commands themselves, you need to know how to access the console. This is done differently depending on your platform:

• PC: Press the tilde (~) key. This is usually located to the left of the number 1 key.

• Consoles (PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One): Console commands are generally not available on console versions of Fallout: New Vegas.

Essential Commands

These commands are frequently used for various purposes, ranging from simple adjustments to game-altering modifications.

Player Commands

• player.additem <item ID> <quantity>: Adds a specified item to your inventory. You'll need to find the item ID online. Many Fallout wikis provide comprehensive item ID lists. For example, player.additem 0000000f 100 adds 100 caps (the item ID for caps is 0000000f).

• player.setlevel <level>: Sets your character's level to the specified number. This instantly grants you experience points, but may impact game balance.

• player.modav <skill ID> <value>: Modifies a specific skill value. For example, player.modav skill bigguns 10 increases your Big Guns skill by 10 points. You'll need to find the appropriate skill IDs.

• player.sethealth <value>: Sets your character's health to a specific value. Useful for quick healing or testing survivability.

• tgm: Enables god mode. You become invincible.

• tcl: Enables noclip mode, allowing you to move through walls and objects. This can be helpful for exploration, but it can also be disruptive to the game.

World & Gameplay Commands

• set timescale to <value>: Adjusts the game's timescale. A value of 1 is normal speed; a higher value speeds up time, while a lower value slows it down.

• killall: Kills all enemies in your immediate vicinity.

• player.placeatme <creature ID>: Spawns a specific creature. Finding the correct creature ID is essential.

Important Notes

• Case Sensitivity: Console commands are generally not case-sensitive.

• Spacing: Correct spacing between commands and parameters is critical.

• Item IDs and Skill IDs: Finding these IDs requires referring to online resources dedicated to Fallout: New Vegas.

• Saving Your Game: It's highly recommended to save your game frequently before using console commands, just in case something goes wrong.

This guide provides a starting point for exploring the vast potential of Fallout: New Vegas console commands. Remember to explore further and discover more commands to fully customize your gameplay experience. However, always remember to use these tools responsibly, and avoid over-reliance which can diminish the challenge and enjoyment of the game.
