All Fallout 4 console commands and cheats
Remember the glory days of cheats in (single-player) video games? Those are mostly gone, but luckily the people behind the GTA series at Rockstar, and the people behind Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series at Bethesda maintain the quaint flame alive by giving players a wide array of shady functionalities they can use to make their experience more fun.
Let’s have a look at all the console commands and cheats in Fallout 4.
How to enter cheats in Fallout 4
You introduce cheats in Fallout 4 via the game’s console, but opening the console isn’t equally simple for everyone. Some players will be able to open the console by using the ~ (tilde) key, while others will hit it and see no results. That’s because the default key to open the game’s console is whatever key is to the left of your Return (or Enter) key, which might or might not be the ~ key.
Fallout 4 cheats list
Here are all of the basic Fallout 4 console commands:
| Cheat command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Killall | Kills all non-companion and non-essential NPCs in your vicinity. Be warned that it might trigger game-breaking glitches |
| Kah | A better alternative to the killall command, as it only kills enemy NPCs |
| Kill [character name] | Murders specific character. Find their IDs here |

| set timescale to [x] | If you use the numerical value of 1, then the game will take place in real time. Using a higher number will result in a sped-up timescale (16 is the default). 0 will result in getting stuck forever in the moment of the day you’re on |

| clear | Clears the console of all messages |
| coc qasmoke | Takes you to a debug room containing every item in the game |
