KCD2 console commands work only in the PC version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Add -devmode to the game’s launch options, start the game and press the tilde key (~, the key under Esc) to open the console. Most cheats, including wh_cheat_money and wh_cheat_addItem, need that launch option first, as they did in the first game.
Below is every command we could confirm in at least two published command lists, with what each one does, the item IDs that several sources agree on, and the caveats: skill XP commands, god mode that is hard to switch off, and what’s known (and not known) about achievements.

Quick answer
- Enable: Steam > right-click Kingdom Come: Deliverance II > Properties > General > Launch Options > type
-devmode. - Open the console: press
~in game. Type?_and press Enter to list every command. - Money:
wh_cheat_money 1000adds 1,000 Groschen. - Save anywhere:
wh_sys_NoSavePotion = 1saves without Saviour Schnapps. - God mode:
#player.soul:AddBuff('4add60ab-9015-4e56-9f7a-cb19345d6d49'). Make a save before you use it. - Skills and stats:
#player.soul:AddSkillXP('skill', amount)and#player.soul:AddStatXP('stat', amount). - PS5 and Xbox: there is no console, so these commands don’t work there.
Fights like this get much easier with god mode or wh_rpg_OneShotKill = 1, but one-shot kills work against you too. Image: Warhorse Studios
How to enable KCD2 console commands
We found no official console documentation from Warhorse Studios. The steps below come from PC Gamer’s guide (last updated April 23, 2026), GamesRadar+, PCGamesN and Destructoid, and they all give the same method:
- Close the game.
- In your Steam library, right-click Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and choose Properties.
- On the General tab, type
-devmode(dash included) in the Launch Options box. - Start the game normally, load a save and press
~to open the console.
PC Gamer says the tilde key opens the console even without the launch option, but most cheats only work with -devmode set. If a command does nothing, check the launch option first.
Epic Games Store and GOG
Russian outlet StopGame gives the same fix for other launchers. In the Epic library, open the three-dot menu, then Manage, switch on Launch Arguments and enter -devmode. On GOG, make a shortcut to KingdomCome.exe in the game’s binWin64 folder, add -devmode after the path in the shortcut’s Target field, and always start the game from that shortcut.
KCD2 console commands list
Type commands rather than pasting them. StopGame warns that pasted commands can fail, though item IDs paste fine. Commands that set a value can usually be reverted by entering them again with the old value, for example wh_sys_NoSavePotion = 0.

wh_pl_LockPickingShakeOverride = 0 |
Stops the lockpick shaking | Makes lockpicking much easier |
wh_pl_showfirecursor 1 |
Keeps a reticle when aiming a bow | Listed by PCGamesN, Dexerto, gameplay.tips |

Every command in this table appears in at least two of the lists we checked (PC Gamer, GamesRadar+, PCGamesN, Destructoid, Dexerto, StopGame and gameplay.tips). We left out commands that only one source lists.
KCD2 money cheat
wh_cheat_money followed by a number adds that many Groschen. Destructoid’s example, wh_cheat_money 1000, gives 1,000 Groschen. It needs -devmode. Note that in the first game the same command used a different unit: the KCD1 wiki says 1 meant 0.1 Groschen there, so older guides may quote numbers that don’t match KCD2.
KCD2 god mode command
God mode is a buff rather than a toggle: #player.soul:AddBuff('4add60ab-9015-4e56-9f7a-cb19345d6d49'). PCGamesN, Dexerto, StopGame and gameplay.tips all list the same buff ID. None of them gives a command to remove it, and readers asking in StopGame’s comments how to get rid of it mention only loading an older save (one says the code didn’t work for them at all). So save just before you use it. If you only want easier fights, wh_rpg_OneShotKill = 1 can be switched off again, but it makes you die in one hit as well.
KCD2 skill and stat commands (level up)
There’s no “set level” command in the lists we checked. Instead you add XP, and the game levels the skill up as usual:
#player.soul:AddSkillXP('skill', amount)adds XP to a skill.#player.soul:AddStatXP('stat', amount)adds XP to one of the four attributes:strength,agility,vitalityorspeech.
StopGame lists these internal skill names: alchemy, craftsmanship, drinking, horse_riding, houndmaster, scholarship, stealth, survival, thievery, weapon_sword, heavy_weapons, weapon_large, weapon_unarmed and marksmanship. Only that one source lists the names, so treat them as unconfirmed. A commenter there points out a trap: a typo in the command name gives an “unknown command” error, but a typo in the skill name is accepted and silently does nothing. If XP doesn’t appear, check the spelling and leave out the word “amount” (type a number).

KCD2 item IDs for wh_cheat_addItem
Item IDs in KCD2 are long codes. Type wh_cheat_addItem, a space, the ID, then optionally a space and the quantity (for example wh_cheat_addItem 8d76f58e-a521-4205-a7e8-9ac077eee5f0 10 for ten lockpicks). StopGame and gameplay.tips say the item’s name also works in place of the ID. Every ID below appears in at least two of the lists we checked:
| Item | Item ID |
|---|---|
| Saviour Schnapps (Destructoid: the weak version) | 928463d9-e21a-4f7c-b5d3-8378ed375cd1 |

Some lists also print IDs for paid DLC gear such as The Lion’s Crest set. We don’t list those: buy the DLC if you want that set. For a near-complete list, PC Gamer points to a community spreadsheet in a Steam Community post.
KCD2 console commands not working?
- No
-devmode: the console opens, but most cheats do nothing. Check the launch option and restart the game. - Pasted commands: type the command by hand. StopGame says pasted commands can fail; pasted item IDs are fine.
- Spelling and spacing: lists disagree on a few names (
wh_pl_LockPickingDOForwh_lockpickingdof,goto x y zwith spaces). If one version fails, try the other. - The
#prefix: the#player.souland#player.inventorycommands are typed with the leading#, as in PCGamesN, StopGame and gameplay.tips. - Wrong platform: the console only exists on PC. On Steam the game is Windows only.
Do console commands disable achievements in KCD2?
This is unconfirmed. We found no word from Warhorse, and the sources disagree. The Kingdom Come: Deliverance wiki says console use didn’t disable achievements in the first game. gameplay.tips says the opposite for KCD2: that -devmode “typically disables achievement unlocks for that gaming session”. If achievements matter to you, play a separate save for cheating, or remove -devmode before an achievement run. Several lists also include a command that unlocks every achievement at once. We leave it out: it skips the game entirely.
Whatever you change, keep a clean save. PC Gamer warns that cheats “can bork your game a little bit”, breaking mechanics or quests, and stolen-horse ownership is a known example.

Can you use cheats in KCD2 on PS5 or Xbox?
No. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions have no developer console, so these commands are PC only. GamesRadar+ and Dexerto both say so.
More PC command guides: Skyrim console commands for gold, perk points and skills, Fallout 4 console commands and item IDs, Cyberpunk 2077 console commands for patch 2.5 and Valheim 1.0 devcommands, which has an official achievement bypass command.

Enter #player.soul:AddBuff('4add60ab-9015-4e56-9f7a-cb19345d6d49') in the console. Save first: none of the sources we checked gives a command to remove it.
