Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't the console opening when I press ~ (tilde)?

First, make sure you've installed the Console Enabler mod! The Outer Worlds 2 requires a mod to enable console commands. If the mod is installed and it still doesn't work: 1) Verify all mod files are in the Arkansas/Content/Paks/~mods folder. 2) Try pressing ` (backtick) instead of tilde. 3) Check the mod's documentation for troubleshooting. 4) Refer to Destructoid's detailed guide.

Can I use console commands on Xbox or PlayStation?

No, console commands are only available on the PC version of The Outer Worlds 2. Console players can use in-game difficulty settings instead.

Will using console commands ban my Steam account?

No! Using console commands will NOT result in a ban. It only disables achievements for your current save file. Your Steam account remains safe.

How do I find item IDs and specific command syntax?

After installing the Console Enabler mod, check the Cheats folder in your ~mods directory. The mod includes text files with complete command documentation, item IDs, and syntax guides. The mod author recommends reading the "How to read cheats" file to understand the technical format. Source: Destructoid

Can I re-enable achievements after using console commands?

No, once achievements are disabled for a save file, they cannot be re-enabled. You'll need to start a new playthrough without using console commands.

What's the difference between 'god' and 'tgm' commands?

god enables god mode permanently until you restart the game. tgm (toggle god mode) lets you turn it on/off without restarting. Both provide invincibility.
