Stalker 2 console commands guide

If you have been playing first-person shooter games for a while, then you know about the existence of the classic in-game console. Just open it and use some specific commands to tweak your game and, of course, access some quick and painless cheats.

Stalker 2 makes no exception in this regard, and with this console commands guide, you will be in control in no time. We will look at the most interesting commands and how to use them to your advantage.

How to open the console in Stalker 2

Accessing the console in Stalker 2 might be a bit more tricky than other games where you can do it with the press of a single key. Follow these steps to access it:

1. Download the UETools (from Nexus mods).
2. Unpack the tools in a directory of your choice.
3. The UETools should be copied and pasted into the “mods” directory inside the game’s installation directory, which should go into the Paks folder (for example “Stalker2/Content/Paks/mods”).
4. If the “mods” directory does not exist yet, create it.
5. Just copy and paste the UETools files into the mods directory and run the game.

Now, you should be able to open the console while running Stalker 2 by using the “tilde” (~) or F10, both on your keyboard. If they don’t seem to do anything, check again that the UETools are correctly installed in the mods directory.

Now you can use several specific console commands to do anything in the game, from spawning a certain item to flying around, along with reducing the weight of the contents in your inventory so that you will never get encumbered.

To get a full list of all available console commands type “UETools_Help” in the console. As you will see, the list is quite long; explaining them all in a single guide would be impossible. Here are a few simple basic commands to type in the console:

• UETools_God – this is the classic Unreal Engine god mode, you can use it if the specific Stalker 2 command listed below gives you trouble.
• UETools_Ghost – use this command to walk through objects, along with flying, basically allowing your character to clip into everything in the game.
• UETools_Fly – use this command if you would like to fly, but still keep the collision on.
• UETools_Walk – use this to disable the previous two commands.

Just type the commands and press Enter to activate them.

Most useful console commands in Stalker 2

As mentioned, there is a very long list of available commands for you to try. But if you would like to have some quick and easy cheats to use, we would recommend sticking to the following ones:

• XSetGodMode true/false – set to “true” to activate God Mode or “false” to deactivate it.
• XAddMoneyToPlayer (value) – set a number inside value (without the () brackets) to add a specific amount of money to your character, such as “XAddMoneyToPlay 555,555”.
• xHideAllWidget – you can use this if you would like to remove the UI from the game, can be useful if you want to take some beautiful and clean screenshots. To bring back the UI, use “xShowAllWidget”.
• XSetWeatherTime (Hour) (Minute) (Second) – use this to set any time of day you want, useful if you want to skip the night and go directly to daylight (or vice-versa). For example XSetWeatherTime 221100
• XTeleportTo (Coordinates) – use this to teleport around the map, quite useful if you are stuck on a particular mission.
• XDKFinishquest id true – use this to force complete a quest if you are stuck (you can find a complete list of quest IDs in this mod)

There are so many other console commands that you can try, even specific ones that can circumvent specific bugs, but be careful as some of them might break the game. Not irreversibly, mind you, but they could easily warp animations or create game-breaking bugs that would require you to load back a previous save. If you follow the commands listed above, you should have no problems of sorts.
