Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Console Commands (-devmode)

November 5, 2026 · Cheat Codes, Open World

Quick answer: In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on PC, add -devmode to the Steam launch options, start the game and press the tilde (~) key. Then type wh_cheat_money 1000 to add money or wh_cheat_addItem <item ID> to add an item. Type ?_ to list available commands. PlayStation and Xbox have no developer console.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has a developer console on PC, but you must enable it with a launch option first. Without -devmode, some commands do not work.

The commands below were found in at least one guide, and the core ones in two. Skill, stat and perk commands could not be verified, so they are not listed.

How to open the console in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Open Steam, right-click Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and choose Properties.
On the General tab, type -devmode (no quotation marks) in Launch Options.
Start the game and load a save.
Press the tilde (~) key, below Esc and left of 1. On a German keyboard it is the ^ key.
Type a command and press Enter. Type ?_ to list all available commands.

Console commands are PC only. PlayStation and Xbox have no developer console, according to one guide. For the non-Steam version, a Nexus mod page exists for enabling devmode, but we did not verify it.

Before you use commands: Make a backup save first. Teleporting past scripted triggers or spawning unique quest items can break quest progress, per one guide. Item IDs from the first game may not work. Do not mix the syntax of wh_cheat_addItem with the cheat_add_item command from an optional mod. Achievement behaviour with cheats is not confirmed by the guides we read.

How Kingdom Come: Deliverance II commands work

Some guides write wh_cheat_money 1000 and others wh_cheat_money=1000. Both forms appear, so if one fails try the other.
Console spelling is case-sensitive in some guides; compare your entry against the ?_ list.
Replace <item ID> with a real ID from an item list. The quantity argument is reported as unreliable, so repeat the command instead.
Do not type the brackets in examples.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 console commands for skills and stats

The guides we read do not give syntax for skills, stats, perks or health. One guide says its list is not exhaustive. Use ?_ in the console to see what your version exposes. We do not list unverified skill commands.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 console commands not working

Check that -devmode is in launch options and that you restarted the game.
Check the key: it is the one below Esc, which varies by layout.
Check the spelling against the ?_ list.
Make sure the item ID belongs to KCD2, not the first game.
Try the other spelling form (with or without =).

Do cheats affect achievements?

A console command to unlock achievements is listed in one guide, but another guide says achievement commands are unverified and behaviour may change with patches. We did not find a clear statement about whether cheats block achievements, so back up your save and treat this as unconfirmed.

Why Kingdom Come: Deliverance II console commands are not working

Console does not open: add -devmode, restart, and press the key below Esc.
Command has no effect: check spelling against ?_ and try with or without the equals sign.
Item does not appear: the ID is probably from KCD1.
Quest stuck after teleporting or spawning items: reload an earlier save.
