How to Enable and Use the XCOM 2 Console
In the below list of XCOM 2 cheats, some commands are marked with Avenger and Mission tags. These commands will likely only work when you are in a mission or in the Avenger (respective to the tag they are given). If you use a Mission command when in the Avenger, the game may not recognize the command (and vice versa).
Addtionally, some commands are from DLCs, and will only work if you have the required DLC installed. For example, the BondSoliders command is tagged with War of the Chosen - it will only work if you have WOTC installed.
Clicking the "Table View" and "Card View" buttons will change the way commands are displayed on your screen, some users find specific formats easier to use. More help and information including IDs and working command examples can be found on each command's page. You can visit a command's page by clicking on its name in the Table or Card View.
