If you don't have a full-size keyboard press Ctrl + Alt + ¬ (¬ is under Esc) to display

The console window.

Add more bots (no need to enter net_allowcheats 1)

Do this after all bots have entered the game:

Bot_minclients-1

Si_maxplayers 32 (you can have less than 32 if you wish, such as 30, 28, 24, 20, etc.)

Now go on the Limbo Menu -> Admin -> Players and click on Add bots.

If you click on the Random box, to the left of Add bots, you can choose a team to add bots

To - GDF or Strogg. When you add a bot the number in each team (at the top-left) goes up.

You can add up to 32 bots in total. Admin – Players (names are listed in alphabetical order). After every map loads in you may need to Add the bots manually.

Type net_allowcheats 1 to enable cheat mode. Then enter one of the following cheats:

Code Result

Net_allowcheats 1 - Activate cheat mode. Note: Entering net_allowcheats 0 doesn’t

disable the cheats it just prevents further cheats from being

changed.

God (god mode) - Infinite health. You have to type this everytime you respawn. You

will still be killed by Strogg energy shields and the slipgate (on

Slipgate map), unless hacked, if you are GDF on foot (unless you are

the Covert Ops in disguise) but not if you are Strogg. GDF can’t

pass through the slipgate in a vehicle unless it has been hacked. A

vehicle is only invincible if you are in the Driver’s seat. If you

are GDF in a vehicle (except Husky) you can pass through the Strogg

energy shields unless you change seats to gunner or passenger, then

the vehicle will be destroyed. If you are GDF and using the GPMG on

a guard tower or mg nest it can still be destroyed. If Team damage

and god mode is on GDF Medics won’t Team Kill Revive you. Any

deployables you place down won’t be invulnerable. APTs and Base

Defense Turrets won’t fire at you if you are on foot but Base

Defense Turrets and AVTs will fire at you if you’re in a vehicle but

they won't harm you. You can also get out of the mission area, re

enter or respawn to disable.

Give health - Additional health. You must be alive to use this command.

Give ammo - Gives ammo, not infinite. You must be alive to use this command.

Give all – Gives both health and ammo. You must be alive to use this command.

Noclip - Makes you go through walls. You have to type this everytime you

respawn. If you are GDF and parachuting down wait until you land

before using noclip or else your parachute will still be displayed

and you won’t be able to use any weapons/items. You can’t go through

the slipgate on Slipgate map with noclip on (the Antarctica side of

the map is about 500m above the slipgate objective) but you can pass

through Strogg energy shields. You can still use weapons and items,

place deployables and do objectives. You can be the Soldier, use

noclip and plant a charge (hold F) on the rear of the vault door on

Island, or just collect the data disc and take it to the console and

transmit the data (hold F), or plant a charge on the last objective

on Canyon, Refinery, Slipgate and Valley. Covert Ops can hack (hold

F) the sewer controls (last objective) on Sewer after entering

noclip. You can’t use noclip with vehicles. You can even get out of

the map with noclip, re-enter or respawn to disable.

Notarget - Enemy bots on foot and enemy bots in vehicles won't shoot at you

(unless they are already firing at you when you activate it) but

enemy turrets (APT, AVT and Base Defence Turrets) will. You still

trigger enemy mines. You must be alive to use this command, re-enter

to disable.

Killtransports – Make all GDF and Strogg vehicles on the map disappear and respawn,

including the vehicles you and bots are in (even aircraft) no matter

which seat, and vehicle drops (request Husky/Icarus). If you can’t

request a Husky/Icarus after using killtransports change class then

change back again, if you want, then request one. It will also make

the MCP (on MCP missions) disappear. You will have to use the spawn

vehicle_mcp cheat to complete the objective. It even removes

vehicles you have placed down with the spawn vehicle cheat.

Killallbots – Make all GDF and Strogg bots respawn.

Kill – Make yourself respawn.

If your computer is fast and you're frustrated with the locked 30 FPS, bring down the

Console with Ctrl + Alt + ~ (or Ctrl + Alt + ¬ (¬ is under Esc) and type the following:

Com_unlockFPS 1

Com_unlock_timingMethod 2

Com_unlock_maxFPS [any multiple of 30]

Spawn Vehicles:

Press Ctrl + Alt + ~ (or Ctrl + Alt + ¬ (¬ is under Esc) if you don't have a full size

Keyboard) then enter the codes below to spawn the desired vehicle.

-=GDF Vehicles=-

Spawn vehicle_husky - husky

Spawn vehicle_titan - titan

Spawn vehicle_anansi - anansi

Spawn vehicle_bumblebee - bumblebee

Spawn vehicle_mcp - mcp

Spawn vehicle_platypus - platypus

Spawn vehicle_trojan - trojan

Spawn vehicle_icarus - icarus

Spawn vehicle_hog - hog

Spawn vehicle_desecrator - desecrator

Spawn vehicle_goliath - goliath (original name for cyclops)

To look around in the aircraft cockpit (Bumblebee, Anansi, Tormentor) hold Caps Lock and move the mouse. The minigun in the cockpit of the Bumblebee can be directed while holding down Caps Lock. You can also look around the aircraft in 3rd person view with Caps Lock and the mouse and with the Husky, Armadillo, Platypus and Hog when in the driver’s seat.

Try spawning the Anansi (spawn vehicle_anansi) on Valley (2nd objective) for the MCP mission as this MCP objective doesn’t have the Anansi aircraft. Enter god for god mode in the console window to practice flying. Hold left Ctrl (airbrake) to stay in place and practice encircling targets. Hold left Shift (boost) to fly forward.

Spawn Deployables:

Spawn deployable_antipersonnel_gdf - GDF APT

Spawn deployable_antipersonnel_strogg - Strogg APT

Spawn deployable_antiarmour_gdf - GDF AVT

Spawn deployable_antiarmour_strogg - Strogg AVT

Spawn deployable_amt_gdf - GDF AAT

Spawn deployable_shield_generator - Strogg AAT

Spawn deployable_radar - GDF Radar

Spawn deployable_psi - Strogg PSI Radar

Spawn deployable_artillery - GDF Artillery Gun

Spawn deployable_railhowitzer - Strogg Rail Howitzer

Spawn deployable_rockets - GDF Rocket Artillery

Spawn deployable_plasmamortar - Strogg Plasma Mortar

Spawn deployable_ssm - GDF Hammer Launcher

Spawn deployable_ssg - Strogg Dark Matter Cannon

* If you place fire support deployables (last 6) your Field Ops/Oppressor can't use them.

* You don’t have to be the class that places a certain deployable to place it. You can place

APTs, AVTs, AATs and Radars and they will work. Both teams can place the other team’s

vehicles or deployables. You can place them anywhere, even in the enemies’ territory. It

doesn’t have to be placed on a green deployment square. When you place a vehicle or

deployable down they are facing you.

* You can place deployables in the air while in the Bumblebee, Anansi or Tormentor (easier

in cockpit view). Or you can use the noclip cheat and place them. You can also place

deployables on the water. You can’t place vehicles in the air, they fall to the ground.

* If you place vehicles or deployables down with the cheat and change class or team they

will still be there unless destroyed but if you’re defending and you place a deployable

and the area is captured the deployable is removed but you can place one in that area

again if you wish, unless you are attacking and place a deployable in the enemies’

territory then it is still there if the objective is complete.

* You don't earn XP or Proficiency (rewards) from the deployables you place down and the

deployables don't have a name above them. In the kill text it just says [APT] name or

[AVT]name. You still gain XP and Proficiency (rewards) if you place a vehicle down and get

in it and run an enemy over or shoot an enemy with the vehicle’s weapon, though.

* Placed vehicles will still decay after a while but deployables don’t.

* Placed vehicles show up as grey on the map (if you have a radar) until you get in them.

Their health bar will also be grey. When you get in a spawned vehicle the health bar

changes to green. If an enemy gets in a spawned vehicle the health bar changes to red.

* If you try to spawn GDF vehicles (except Husky and Platypus) on maps where they are not

available they will look psychedelic as they have no colour on these maps.

A message is displayed in the console window "No Skin Set For [vehicle name]".

* If you place vehicles, deployables, activate god (mode) or noclip during warmup they are

removed/reset when the game starts.

Note: If you spawn vehicles and deployables on The Ark and Salvage maps they will be painted

In the arctic paint. If you spawn the Platypus on The Ark map it will also be painted in the

Arctic paint.

Spawn Mounted Guns:

Spawn mountable_weapon_gdf - GDF Mountable Weapon (GPMG – guard tower/mg nest)

Spawn deployable_basedefence_gdf - GDF Base Defence Turret

Spawn deployable_basedefence_strogg - Strogg Base Defence Turret

Spawn deployable_amt_gdf_cc - GDF Base AAT regular paint

Spawn deployable_amt_gdf_cc_arctic - GDF Base AAT arctic paint

(used in the base on The Ark and Salvage maps)

Give class soldier

Give class medic

Give class engineer

Give class fieldops

Give class covertops

-=For Strogg type:=-

Give class aggressor

Give class technician

Give class constructor

If you have placed a vehicle, deployable or have any other cheats on it won't remove them

When you change class with the give class cheat, but it will remove the deployables, when you change class, if you placed them down by the relevant class without using the cheats.

If you activated god mode you will still be invulnerable when you use the give class cheat but not if you respawn.

If you change class while in a vehicle you will exit it. If you change class while flying you will be ejected from the aircraft.

You can push players with the G key if they are standing, crouched, unconscious and in water but not if they are prone or dead.

Other Console Commands:

If you are not sure of a cheat codes default value enter the cheat’s name on it's own to see it. Most of the cheats give you a description when you enter the command name on it's own without a value. You may need to respawn to activate some cheats after entering them in the console window.

If you are the leader of a fireteam you can select missions on the Mission select for any class in your team to carry out such as repair the vehicle/deployable, plant mines, deploy supplies, deploy a defense turret/fire support/radar or destroy/hack deployable. Fireteam members appear as a grey icon on the map and when using the GPMG on the guard tower/mg nest, the grey icon disappears when they get in a vehicle.

If you created the fireteam you can select the middle Context menu order – Waypoint: Attack here!/Waypoint: Regroup here! A green circle with a chequered flag in it appears on the screen and on the map for 60 seconds.

Spectating:

On the limbo menu click on Spectator at the top, then Spectate at the bottom. Keep pressing the left mouse button to spectate on different players, it cycles through one team first then the other. Press the right mouse button for Free Fly Mode. While spectating in Free Fly Mode the health bars on players, vehicles, deployables and the GPMG on guard towers/mg nests are shown as grey. You can still bring up the map (N), Scoreboard (hold Tab or F4), Global Chat (T), Team Chat (Y), Fire Team Chat (you), adjust the mini map size . On the Match in Progress screen (hold Tab or F4) the eye symbol near the bottom-left means players spectating or joining in. Players with an eye symbol to the left of their name are spectating. If their name is on the left side of the Scoreboard, they are spectating on GDF, if their name is on the right side, they are spectating on Strogg F. T. To the left of Name is Fireteam, if there are any: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, etc. If you enter net_allowcheats 1 on the console window and then pm_thirdperson 1 you can spectate on players from behind. Pm_thirdperson 0 disables third person view. Pm_thirdpersonheight adjusts the camera height from above and pm_thirdpersonrange adjusts the camera range from behind. You can’t spectate a player in 3rd person, with pm_thirdperson 1, when they are in a vehicle, only 1st person.

Unlock status:

Above a player/bot is their rank, name, unlock status and their class. The unlock status is how many rewards they have unlocked. If they are a Rookie, they haven’t unlocked anything for that class yet. If they are Proficient, they have unlocked the first reward for their class, Experienced is the second reward, Senior is the third reward and Expert is the last reward for a class. If they have unlocked all of Battlesense, Light weapons and/or Vehicle rewards, each one counts as an unlock status, depending on which one out of these you have completed (any order), after Expert, the next unlock status is Veteran, then Master, then Elite. If a player/bot has the Elite unlock status it means he has unlocked at least all the rewards for one or more classes plus all of the Battlesense, Light weapons and Vehicle rewards unlocks.

Should you unlock all of the rewards for Battlesense, Light weapons and/or Vehicle rewards first, or any combination of them, before unlocking all of a classes unlocks, it will still say their current class unlock status above their head – Rookie, Proficient, Experienced, Senior or Expert. When you reach Expert for that class and have already unlocked all the rewards for Battlesense, Light weapons and/or Vehicle rewards unlocks then it will say Veteran, Master or Elite, depending if you have completed Battlesense, Light weapons and/or Vehicle rewards (any order). If you change class to another class with no unlocks it will say Rookie. If you change class to another class with 1-4 unlocks it will say that unlock status – Proficient, Experienced, Senior or Expert, depending how many rewards you have unlocked for that class. All of Battlesense counts as one unlock status, all of Light weapons counts as another unlock status and all of Vehicle rewards counts as an unlock status as opposed to the unlock status of unlocking all 4 rewards of a classes unlocks. It doesn’t show the unlock status if a player is in a vehicle unless they are an exposed gunner (GDF team) or on a Husky or Icarus.
