Fallout 4 Console Commands: God Mode, Caps, Level and More (PC)

Short answer: On PC, press the tilde key (~) to open the console, type a command and press Enter. tgm turns on god mode, tcl lets you walk through walls, player.additem 0000000f 1000 gives you 1,000 caps and player.setlevel 50 sets your level. The console only exists in the PC version, and using it does not block achievements.

How to open the console

  1. Load your save and press ~ (the key left of 1). The game pauses and a command line appears at the bottom left.
  2. If nothing happens, your keyboard layout may use a different key: try the apostrophe key, or @ on a UK keyboard.
  3. Type the command and press Enter. For commands that act on a target, click the person or object first while the console is open.
  4. Press ~ again to close it.

Make a separate save before you experiment. Some commands, such as caqs or killall, change your game in ways you cannot easily undo.

God mode and movement

CommandWhat it does
tgmGod mode: you take no damage, and you get unlimited ammo and carry weight. Type it again to turn it off.
tclTurns off collision so you can walk through walls and fly. Handy when you are stuck.
tdetectEnemies and other characters can no longer detect you.
player.setav speedmult 100Sets your movement speed. 100 is normal; a higher number makes you faster.
tmm 1Shows every location on the map so you can fast travel to it. tmm 0 hides them again.
coc qasmokeTeleports you to the developer test room, which holds containers with almost every item in the game.
