Starfield console commands and cheats

All Starfield console commands

With our full list of Starfield console commands, there’s nothing you can’t do! From gifting yourself with unlimited items, to quickly leveling up, you can find the best Starfield console commands below.

Starfield cheat	Console command	Command effect
God mode	tgm	Toggles god mode on and off, making you invulnerable, giving you infinite ammunition (provided you have at least one bullet in your inventory), uncapping your carry weight limit, and allowing your ship to grav jump anywhere
Immortal mode	tim	Toggles immortal mode on and off, giving you infinite health, but not preventing you from taking damage (useful for grinding specific Starfield skill challenges)
Free cam mode	tfc	Toggles the free cam mode, allowing you to fly around the map and reach any height. Useful for scouting a location, but take note that going to far can result in PC performance issues.
Add item	player.additem (item_ID) (quantity)	Adds any Starfield item to your inventory. Simply replace the item_ID with the weapon, armor, item, or consumable code you require, and replace the quantity with a numerical value.
Add 1 million Credits	player.additem 000000f 1000000	Adds 1 million Credits. Simply add a few 0s to get even more!
Spawn entity	player.placeatme (Item ID) (Value)	This is one of the more creative Starfield console commands you can use to spawn any NPC, creature, or item. It’s particularly useful for Starfield romance, as you can use it to easily spawn your NPC companions to your location without having to go looking for them.
Pay off crime bounty	player.paycrimegold 0 0 (Faction ID)	You can pay off bounties to specific factions with this console command, plus keep any stolen objects they might be hunting you down for. If you don’t want to waste any time rotting away in space jail, keep this command close to hand.
Add experience	player.modav experience (quantity)	Adds a set amount of experience to your character, allowing you to reach the Starfield max level with just one command, if you so choose.
Add 50000 experience	player.modav experience 50000	Adds 50000 Starfield experience to your character.
Character editor	showlooksmenu player 1	If you’re not happy with the results of your character creation choices, you can easily reset your options with this console command. From here, you can reset your name, appearance, background, and traits.
Resurrection command	resurrect	The reverse of the kill command, select an entity and use this command in the console window to bring them back to life.
Unlock command	unlock	Though a bit fiddly, you can open the console command window, select a container or applicable object with your mouse, and type in the “unlock” command to bypass the digipicking requirement.
Kill command	kill	If you select an entity from the console command window with your mouse, you can type in and enter the “kill” command to instantly defeat that enemy. Very useful if you are having difficulty in a specific area or if you run out of ammunition and healing items when facing an enemy like the Terrormorph.
Stealth command	tdetect	This command toggles NPC and enemy detection capabilties, effectively allowing you to go unnoticed without using the Stealth skill.
Toggle character collision	tcl	Sometimes your character might get stuck, and fast traveling away or reloading your save isn’t an option. In these cases, use the tcl command to toggle collision off and on, and phase through any obstacles in your way.
Toggle aggression	tcai	Find the AI too combatative? Turn off the aggression with the tcai command. Particularly useful if you find NPCs hostile for no reason, locking you out of progression.
Unlock all Starfield powers	psb	This command unlocks every Starfield power at once, removing the need to discover and visit every Temple.
Add Starfield skill	player.addperk (perk_id)	Simply replace the perk_id with the skill you require to unlock that skill, or increase its rank without completing the rank-up challenge.
Remove Starfield skill	player.removeperk (perk_id)	This command removes one rank from a skill with each use. Be warned, it will not refund the skill point you used to unlock this skill.
Add digipicks	player.additem 000000a (quantity)	Adds as many digipicks as you require. It’s unlikely you’ll ever need more than 100, but fortunately digipicks have no mass, so you can carry around as many as you like!
Change player carry weight	player.setav carryweight (quantity)	With this command, you can set your carry weight limit to an insane threshold, much more than any skill or armor mod can allow. Want to carry over 1000 mass? Change your carry weight to 1200.
Set player level	player.setlevel (desired level)	This command lets you set your player level to any desired point. However, trying to set your level to a specific point has been known to cause bugs because your overall experience doesn’t increase with it. So, we advise using the “Add experience” command instead.
Unlock all map markers.	tmm 1	Unlock every location on the planet and enable you to fast travel to them. Warning, this command cannot be reversed, and has been known to cause bugs.
Kill all hostiles	kah	Unlike the killall command, this command specifically kills all NPCs that are in a hostile state.
Show high resolution height data	ShowHighMaxHeights	You’re unlikely to use this command unless you’re planning to fly high above a city for a screenshot. This command shows you what the maximum height is that you can travel before high resolution textures begin to despawn. This is a debug command, and so not very useful for actualy gameplay.
Enable story manager logging	EnableStoryManagerLogging	This debug command helps with the diagnosis of faulty missions and scripts that require various conditions to be completed in order to progress a story event. If enabled, Starfield will write the logs of these events to %USERPROFILE%/My Games/Starfield/Logs/StoryManager
Kill all	killall	Kills every enemy and NPC around you. Be very careful where you use this, as it can clear entire cities in one go.
Set player speed	player.setav speedmult (quantity)	Your default speed value is 100, so use a higher number to go faster, or a lower number if you want to slow your character down.
Set player maximum health	player.setav health (quantity)	With this cheat, you can set your maximum health to any value and make yourself the squishiest or the spongiest character in Starfield, as you so desire.
Sex change	sexchange	Allows you to switch from one sex to the other and reset your appearance at the same time. However, you may find it easier to visit an ENHANCE genetics facility in any major city rather than use this command.
Open the wait menu	showmenu sleepwaitmenu	Opens a menu where you can wait for however many hours you wish. You can also achieve this effect by going to any bed or chair.
Apply weapon mod	(ref_id).amod (omod_id)	First, drop the weapon you want to modify on the ground and select it in the search console to get the (ref_id). Then, enter the command after replacing the (omod_id) with the mod you want to alter your weapon.
Remove weapon mod	(ref_id).rmod (omod_id)	First, drop the weapon you want to modify on the ground and select it in the search console to get the (ref_id). Then, enter the command after replacing the (omod_id) with the mod you want to alter your weapon.
Reload materials	reloadmaterials	Refreshes all materials in the nearby area.
Toggle UI	tm	Allows you to hide or show the UI overlay. You can also achieve this affect by going to the settings menu and making the UI transparency 0% or 100%.
Start all quests	saq	Note: this command has an exceedingly high chance of crashing your game and not working correctly. This command begins all missions, which involves triggering a huge number of setstage commands, and will forcefully teleport the player character to load predetermined and quest-specific environments. Use at your own peril!
Complete all quests	caqs	Similar to the saq command, caqs will attempt to complete all missions. This has a lower chance of crashing your game, but still runs a high risk due to the number of quest flags it has to process all at once.

For a full list of Starfield weapon IDs, armor IDs, item IDs, consumable IDs, and even ship IDs, check out our individual databases where you can get a ready-made command for use in-game.

For Starfield skills and traits, you can find all the perk_ids on the individual pages with a ready-to-go command.

In fact, we’ve tried to include the most useful console command on every individual database entry, allowing you to get what you want in an instant.

How do you enter commands in Starfield?

If you’re on PC, all you need to do is press the apostrophe key (‘) or the tilde (~) key to open the console command (this can be changed in the keybindings section of the settings menu). Entering the console command window will pause the game and cover the bottom portion of the screen with a text box where you can input your Starfield console commands.

When entering commands, make sure you enter them exactly as we’ve written them to avoid any syntax errors. Fortunately, commands are rarely case-sensitive, but it doesn’t hurt to be as accurate as possible.

It’s highly advised that you save your game BEFORE using any console commands, just in case you experience any issues.

Can you still get achievements if you use console commands?

Opening the Starfield console command menu will not disable Starfield achievements. However, using specific console commands will disable achievements, and add the (modded) suffix to your savegame.

To bypass this, you can reload a save you created before you used a console command. However, this can defeat the purpose of console commands, especially when used for perfectly legitimate reasons such as getting unstuck from a bugged quest or location that an update or the Starfield Community Patch has yet to fix. So, the best way to prevent console commands from disabling achievements is to download an achievement enabler Starfield mod.

If you’ve found a console command you can’t live without, tell us all about it in our Starfield forum. Or, if you’re struggling with the in-game spacecraft, check out our Starfield ships hub, with individual guides on ship manufacturers, ship designs, and ship components.
