The world that Kingdom Come Deliverance is set in is certainly not an easy one, and the game itself doesn’t always make it easy for you. So the idea is to get yourself out of trouble quickly with a cheat or to adjust disruptive factors with a command.
Anyone who took part in the alpha and beta phase has probably already come into contact with some of these codes and enjoyed things like invulnerability, infinite money, super jumps, and any conjured up equipment. However, only a handful of the very broad range of console commands made it into the finished game at the time.
But there are still a few helpful commands. For example, you can make aiming with the bow a little easier by using a command to prevent the crosshairs that are normally displayed during archery from disappearing. You can also make many adjustments to the graphics that go beyond the normal limits of the graphics menu. In the following we explain how you can enter console commands in Kingdom Come Deliverance, what commands there are and what effect the codes have.
Even if the crosshair is very small, it helps a lot when aiming with the bow.
Kingdom Come Deliverance: So you activate a console command
To enter a console command, you must first open the input console. This works with the German keyboard layout with the circumflex key (^). If you have a US layout, press the tilde key (~) instead. Then you type one of the following commands into the command line and confirm your entry with the Enter key. If you want to activate several commands, you have to enter and confirm them individually. When you’re done, you can close the console again with circumflex or tilde.
Each valid command is shown in green when confirmed. In response to wrong orders, you will receive a corresponding feedback in yellow and blocked orders simply remain white and receive no feedback.

Locked cheats in Kingdom Come Deliverance
If you took part in the alpha and beta test phase of Kingdom Come Deliverance and dealt with the topic of cheats and console commands, you might miss some commands in the previous list. The reason for this is simple: They have been permanently deactivated until further notice and cannot be switched on again without deeper interventions on which trainers also build.
Unfortunately, these are also the commands that come closest to the classic cheats. In other words: unlimited money, any equipment and weapons or the god mode. Whether these commands will ever be allowed again is highly doubtful, but a tinkerer may find a way to reactivate them. In this case, here are all the locked cheat codes for alpha and beta:
| Console command | effect |
| wh_cheat_money | Money cheat. Replaces by the number of pennies you want to receive. |
| wh_cheat_addItem | Item cheat. Replaces by the desired amount of through defined object. |
| e_TimeOfDay | The current playing time is displayed. |
| g_godmode 1 | Activates god mode (invulnerable). |
| g_godmode 0 | Deactivates god mode (vulnerable). |
| p_gravity_z | Changes the gravity of the game world. Replaces through the desired level (standard = -13). |
Kingdom Come Deliverance Trainer
Cheating is not officially intended, but of course you can ignore it with so-called trainers in order to receive money, items, experience and skill points or to make profound changes to the game.
Basically, we advise against coaches. On the one hand, they are a popular method used by cyber criminals to inject malware into PCs. On the other hand, the fun is usually lost, as important mechanics are levered out. The stability of a game is also related to this. Trainers intervene deeply in the game data and if the trainer or the game data are not properly programmed, serious damage can result. Since Kingdom Come Deliverance is far from bug-free, the risk here is all the greater.
