Dying Light 2 Console Commands & Cheats Guide

Why Players Use Cheats in Dying Light 2?

Players who cheat in video games do it for a variety of reasons. Cheats may open up a lot of new possibilities and ways to enjoy the game. They can help you overcome a difficult challenge, they can save you time, and sometimes they can even be used to unstuck a glitched character or get around a game-breaking bug. They can be used to spawn items, enemies, and grant you overpowered abilities, such as wallhacks and flying.

They can also ruin the enjoyment if you overdo them, as they could trivialize any challenge the game has to offer. It’s strongly advised to wait before enabling cheats until you’ve already beaten the game at least once, or you’ve stumbled upon a challenge that proves to be way too difficult to complete, in which case you may want to avoid frustration and take a shortcut to progress the game further.

How to Enable Cheats in Dying Light 2

Usually, to start using cheats and console commands in video games, you have to enable debug mode or developer console first; the console is where you can insert and run the codes. Other games may allow players to enter the codes without the need to access the console by simply pressing the correct buttons at any time during play.

Unfortunately, none of that works here; Dying Light 2 console commands don’t exist. This game simply doesn’t allow players to use codes, at least not without tampering with the game files. If you’d like to use cheats and special commands in Dying Light 2, you’ll have to resort to other methods.

The most convenient option is to install a special mod that re-enables Dying Light 2 debug mode – Developer Menu – that’s hidden deep within the game files. Developer Menu in Dying Light 2 can’t be accessed by usual means – you will need to install the mod first. Thankfully, the process is quite simple. Follow these steps, and you will be able to cheat in Dying Light 2 and modify a variety of in-game parameters to your liking.

1. Download the mod
2. Open the zip file
3. Navigate into the “Dying Light 2 Menu” folder
4. Copy all the contents into your Dying Light 2 installation folder
5. Start the game and make a new save

Developer Menu should be enabled now; to access it, simply pause the game, and you should be able to see all the available cheats. Have fun!

Useful Dying Light 2 Cheats

The Developer Menu comes with a variety of useful cheats you can use. You can make yourself immortal by turning on the God Mode, or you can enable unlimited ammo. You can give yourself extra money if you find yourself low on cash, or you can teleport yourself anywhere.

Some other useful cheats include fast climbing, zooming out the camera, switching the camera to third-person mode, and showing health bars. There are even some debug features, although these are mostly useful if you’re trying to develop a mod of your own. Feel free to play around with the cheats; there’s quite a lot of them to try.

Cheat Compatibility with Mods

Using mods may break the game or other mods if you have them installed, especially if they attempt to modify the same files as the Developer Menu mod. Certain cheats can also trigger unexpected behavior from other mods.

If you notice any crashes or other issues, such as other mods not working or working incorrectly, you can troubleshoot the problem by trying to replicate the issue and disabling Developer Menu to see whether the issue persists or not.

Possible Issues with Cheats in Dying Light 2

Installing unofficial modifications such as the Developer Menu enabler in Dying Light 2 always comes with a risk of damaging the game files and corrupting your saved data. It’s strongly advised to keep that in mind before installing the mod. Make sure to copy your saved games to a safe location in case something goes wrong. This way, you’ll be able to reinstall the game and restore your progress.

You should also copy the files that the mod will attempt to replace. If there are any such files, copy them somewhere else first; this way, if there’s an issue with the mod or the game, you’ll be able to revert the changes without reinstalling the entire game.

The Developer Menu mod may cause issues when trying to play in co-op due to a file mismatch between clients. If you’d like to play co-op with friends, either remove the mod or ask your friends to install it, so all of you have the same version of the game.

Also, keep in mind that certain cheats may be working incorrectly; the mod doesn’t enable cheats but simply brings back Developer Menu. If a cheat doesn’t work, it means it was disabled by the developers at some point.

Conclusion

Cheats can be a fun way to add more replayability to the game you know inside out, but it’s not recommended to use them on your first playthrough, as they’ll kill all the fun of overcoming challenges on your own. Once you start using them and see all the possibilities, it will be difficult to return to normal gameplay, so we recommend saving the cheats for later.
