Fallout New Vegas Console Commands – Fallout New Vegas Cheats You’ll Need

Wondering the irradiated wastes of America in the Fallout games is always a trip to behold. Some of us might prefer the Capitol, while others the simple thrill of throwing bottle caps in New Vegas casinos. After a night of debauchery on the strip, you might encounter mutated ghouls, dried-up earth and a whole lot of noise from your Geiger counter. If you want some peace from all the despair in the Vegas wastes, here are some helpful Fallout New Vegas console commands, allowing you to cheat your way from rags to riches.

If you plan to use Fallout New Vegas console commands, you’ll need to open the game’s console. To do so, simply press the backquote button or tilde key (depending on your keyboard layout). If you’re having trouble locating it, look just below the ESC button and next to the number 1 key.

Once the console is activated, a translucent window will appear, allowing you to input Fallout New Vegas cheats. There is no need to fret if you open the console during combat, as the game automatically pauses while the window is open.

There are many different console commands to try, with the full list available on the Fallout Wiki. Press the TAB key on your keyboard to get some help with console commands while in the New Vegas console, but note that they do not tell the full tale as it’s mainly for debugging. To make the process easier, the Fallout New Vegas console commands listed below are the ones you’ll more than likely be using.

Some of the Fallout New Vegas console commands require an ID to work. Every item, faction, NPC, and town has an ID for reference. If you want to know the ID of an item, you can type “search” into the console. Simply specify what you want, and it should provide data for what you seek.

If you want power armor parts, type in “search power armor” to find the various power armor parts. All the search function does is match the search query with content in the game’s loot table. If you want a perk, for example, type in a name and perk at the end of the command.

Unfortunately, there are too many NPCs in Fallout: New Vegas to list, so we advise heading to the Wiki for NPC IDs. If you need the ID codes of the towns and factions in the game, we have them listed below.

Boomers	000FFAE8
