Fallout 4 PC Console Commands List 2026 (God Mode, Caps & Item IDs)

Fallout 4 Technical Specifications & Console Environment

Fallout 4 runs on Bethesda's proprietary 64-bit Creation Engine, which retains the comprehensive command interpreter inherited from earlier Gamebryo titles. Whether you are running the classic release or the official Next-Gen update (v1.10.984+), the developer console provides real-time access to game state variables, actor attributes, physics toggles, and cell loading routines. Below is the technical profile for PC console commands on verified desktop platforms.

How to Enable and Use the Developer Console on PC

Unlike some modern titles that require editing configuration text files or launching with special command-line arguments, Fallout 4 has its developer console enabled out of the box in normal gameplay modes. However, regional keyboard layouts and hardcore difficulty settings can introduce unexpected hurdles. Follow these exact steps to ensure consistent console access across any gaming setup.

Step 1: Keyboard Regional Mapping

The Creation Engine listens for the hardware scan code assigned to the key located directly beneath the Escape key. Depending on your Windows display language and physical keyboard layout, the required keystroke differs:

• US QWERTY Keyboards: Press ~ (Tilde) or ` (Grave Accent).
• UK English Keyboards: Press ' (Apostrophe) or @.
• German QWERTZ Keyboards: Press Ö or ^.
• French AZERTY Keyboards: Press ù or the superscript ² key.
• Universal Quick Fix: If your native layout does not register, press Alt + Shift in Windows to switch your active input language to English (United States), which instantly binds the console to the standard tilde position.

Step 2: Restoring Console in Survival Mode

When playing on Survival difficulty, Bethesda purposefully disables the developer console to prevent bypassing hunger, thirst, sleep, and encumbrance mechanics. If a quest breaks or an essential NPC gets trapped in terrain during a Survival playthrough, you can re-enable the console safely. Install the community-tested Survival Console Enabled mod via Nexus Mods or the in-game Creations menu. This lightweight script modification hooks into the game loop to reactivate the tilde scanner without changing other hardcore survival balance rules.

Essential Survival, Immortality & World Manipulation Commands

The core commands listed below are the most frequently used utilities in the Commonwealth wasteland. They let you overcome combat difficulty spikes, bypass frustrating geometry glitches, and manage character inventory limits cleanly.

• tgm Toggle God Mode

  Provides total invincibility from all damage sources, grants infinite Action Points (AP) for sustained V.A.T.S. targeting and sprinting, eliminates weapon reload ammunition consumption, and removes carrying capacity penalties. Note that if a piece of Power Armor is destroyed while wearing it, toggling tgm off and on refreshes the armor piece health.

• tcl Toggle NoClip Mode

  Disables collision detection across your character. This allows you to fly through roofs, travel through solid cavern walls, and easily dislodge yourself if you get physically stuck behind immovable wasteland clutter or settlement structures.

• player.setav carryweight 99999 Permanent Carry Capacity Expansion

  Sets your baseline maximum inventory carry weight to 99,999 pounds permanently. Unlike player.modav which can sometimes reset when entering power armor frames, setav directly alters your actor value without tampering with your Strength stat or perk bonuses.

• unlock Targeted Container & Terminal Bypass

  To open any Master-locked safe, security gate, or encrypted computer terminal, open the console and left-click the object with your mouse cursor. A reference ID in brackets will show up (such as ("0001a2b3")). Type unlock and press Enter to instantly bypass the lock.

• coc qasmoke Developer Testing Armory Teleportation

  Transports your character directly into Bethesda's internal quality assurance cell. This room holds individual containers containing every single weapon, armor piece, bobblehead, magazine, holotape, and ammunition type created for the base game. To exit, type coc sanctuaryext to return to Sanctuary Hills.

SPECIAL Attributes, Level Adjustment & Perk Point Management

Character development in Fallout 4 relies on your seven core S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck) and dozens of rankable perks. You can fine-tune every character parameter directly without grinding through repeated side quests.

Item Spawning Mechanics & FormID Syntax Rules

Spawning equipment, crafting resources, and ammunition into your character inventory relies on the fundamental player.additem routine. Understanding how FormIDs are structured in the Creation Engine prevents syntax errors and inventory corruption.

If you have installed DLC expansions such as Far Harbor, Nuka-World, or Automatron, the first two characters of their item FormIDs represent their load order index in your game manager (e.g., 01, 02, 03, or 04). You can look up any item ID dynamically in-game without leaving the screen by typing help "[Item Name]" 4. The engine will list all matching game objects alongside their active 8-character hex codes.

Settlement Crafting & Building Material Shipment FormIDs

Building expansive settlement cities across Sanctuary Hills, The Castle, and Starlight Drive-In requires massive quantities of basic raw scrap. Rather than spending hours scrounging for desk fans, clipboards, and hot plates, you can spawn thousands of raw crafting units directly using shipment FormIDs.

Weapons, Ammunition & Essential Medical Supply Codes

Managing ammunition supplies and rare heavy ordnance is one of the main friction points in Fallout 4. Below is a curated quick-reference directory of verified base game item codes that can be spawned instantly using the player.additem command.

Power Armor Assembly & Customization Codes

Power Armor in Fallout 4 requires both an underlying frame and individual limb components (Helm, Torso, Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, Right Leg). If you lose armor components in a severe encounter against a Glowing Deathclaw or Sentry Bot, you can spawn replacement T-60 parts directly into your backpack and mount them to any active frame.

• T-60 Power Armor Helm: 00154AC4
• T-60 Power Armor Torso: 00154AC3
• T-60 Power Armor Left Arm: 00154AC5
• T-60 Power Armor Right Arm: 00154AC6
• T-60 Power Armor Left Leg: 00154AC7
• T-60 Power Armor Right Leg: 00154AC8

Quest Troubleshooting, AI Manipulation & Companion Controls

Because the Creation Engine utilizes complex scripting logic with hundreds of interdependent quest flags, quests can occasionally stall when an NPC gets trapped off-map or a dialogue scene fails to initialize. The console offers powerful administrative routines to resolve broken objectives and manage companion states smoothly.

Advancing Stuck Quests with Stage Markers

When an objective marker disappears or an NPC refuses to acknowledge a completed milestone:

1. Open the console and enter sqt (Show Quest Targets) to list all currently active Quest IDs in your journal.
2. Locate your quest identifier (such as MQ102 for "When Freedom Calls").
3. Type getstage [QuestID] to check your current numeric stage progression.
4. Enter setstage [QuestID] [StageNumber] to jump forward past the broken script flag. Always save your game to an independent manual save slot before using stage commands.

Reviving and Teleporting Companions

If Dogmeat, Nick Valentine, or Piper goes missing after a fast travel transition:

• To summon Dogmeat directly to your location, open the console and type prid 0001D162 followed by moveto player.
• To teleport yourself to Nick Valentine's current coordinates, enter player.moveto 00002F25.
• If an essential companion gets downed and fails to recover their footing, open the console, click on their model, type resurrect, and hit Enter.

Dynamic Weather Commands & World Timescale Controls

The irradiated atmosphere of the Commonwealth features dense radiation storms and blinding rain that can obstruct visibility during intensive settlement building or long-distance exploration. The developer console enables complete environmental governance through weather force flags and world timescale controls.
