XCOM 2 cheats • iGamesNews.com

XCOM 2 came out earlier this month to be widely distributed, but it is also generally considered to be a better contender than the previous article in the series. Thankfully, and just like in the recent XCOM reboot, there are plenty of console commands and trick codes to use when you've hit a complete brick wall in your progress.

While using any of the following console commands will not enhance your XCOM 2 experience, remember that – at the time of publishing at least – using them will not prevent you from furthering your profit.

To use any of these XCOM 2 controllers, you first need to modify the game's launch options. To do this, go to your Steam library, find the game, then right-click on XCOM 2 and select Properties. From here, look for a small button labeled "Set Startup Options". Click, then copy and paste the following into:

-allowconsole -log -autodebug

Next, download the game and hit the tilde key, which looks similar to one of the following: ~

From here, just enter any codes included with this guide, and enjoy cheating your way to success.

Instructions for Avenger Center

You can use console commands to provide Avenger with a variety of nice and easy tools, but there is a special trick to set them up. You need to think of the Avenger layout as a grid with three columns as many rows, using the following layout indicators:

So, to place PsiChamber in the slot in the middle of the second row, you'll need to enter a command like BuildFacility PsiChamber 7.

Here is a list of all Conte's currently known building orders in the area. Keep in mind that using these instructions will not remove any Alien Debris covering the build area.

Science and Engineering instruct

Depending on the title of Avenger, there are a few commands you can enter to get more Scientists and Engineers, and quickly increase them to the level you want. The more they measure the value they give them, the more efficient they are in their tasks, i.e., the sooner they complete construction and research activities.

Offering Soldier classes

While back down you can also change the category of any given Soldier. Here are the words you can apply for, but be aware that all re-assigned soldiers are automatically assigned squaddie status. In the SOLDIER NAME section, just use the first and last name of the Soldier in question – don't include their nickname.

Resources and instructions for the console item

There are many cheat codes that you can enter to give yourself bonus items in absolute zero effort, but the system can be less reliable. You may need to go into the selection screen on the trip after you enter the console command to see if your acquired beauty comes from the interface.

Some players have also stated that you must own at least one of each item in which the GiveResource command should work. If so, try restoring ProvResource with AddItem instead. This should force at least one of the items in your list.

Captures .ini files of the game

If you don't bother rotating through the assortment of games for .ini files, you can also edit some common frameworks to make life easier. Do yourself a boost and make a backup of each file before looking at any of these criteria though – don't want any subtle typing risks that ruin your game setup base without a replacement version.

There are a number of variables that you can change in XCOM 2, but Here are some of the most useful tweaks you can play with to make your life a little easier. Note that you can find all the files you needed to edit by going to the game's installation directory, then navigating to XComGame, then Config.
