Valheim, the Norse Viking game from Iron Gate, can be pretty challenging. That’s no surprise considering that it falls under the survival genre, but some players would appreciate a smoother ride. For those that’d rather not engage with the resource gathering and crafting systems, thankfully, there are some handy console commands. Here is a full list of console commands on PC, including the Valheim spawn items cheat.
Valheim Console Commands | How to spawn items, enable god mode, and more
The new Norse survival title, Valheim, is somewhat challenging to get into. Legit players can check out these beginner’s tips and tricks, but anyone eager to get straight to the meat of the matter may want to use console commands instead. Sure, it’s cheating, but, unlike installing a cheat engine, it does not break any rules.
How to use Valheim console commands and cheats
- Ensure that the Valheim developer console is enabled
- Right click on Valheim in your Steam Library, then click on Properties
- In the Launch Options dialog, type in “-console” (without quotation marks)
- Once in-game, press the F5 key to open the console
- Type “devcommands” into the console and press enter to activate cheats
- You’ll know cheats have been enabled when you see the warning message
- Note: The previous “imacheater” command no longer works following update version 0.148.6
- After entering your command, press F5 again to close the console
If playing solo, users can take advantage of Valheim console commands at any time. In a multiplayer environment, cheats and console commands are only available to the host as standard. Server hosts can grant clients permission to use them, should they wish.
With the proper permissions intact, simply open the Valheim console (F5) and enter the following terms to gain the specified effects.
