SCUM Console Commands: Admin Commands, Spawn Items, Teleport

November 14, 2026 · Cheat Codes, Survival

Quick answer: SCUM console commands are admin commands typed into the chat. Press T, type # to print every command available to you, then run one such as #SpawnItem <ID> <Count>. You need admin rights on the server first.

SCUM console commands are chat commands that start with a hash sign. Press T to open chat, type the command and press Enter. They only work for accounts listed as admins, so on a private server you add your own SteamID64 to a config file first.

Commands on this page were checked against the PCGamesN SCUM guide, the Nodecraft command reference and the GGServers admin list, plus server host guides for the admin setup. Browse all game cheat codes for other games.

How to enable SCUM admin commands

Admin rights come from your SteamID64 being listed in AdminUsers.ini on the server. SCUM has no separate developer console key like some other games; everything goes through the chat box.

Find your SteamID64. It is a 17-digit number that starts with 7656.
Stop the server. Host guides state the admin lists are only read when the server starts.
Open the folder /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/. If AdminUsers.ini is missing, create it there.
Add your SteamID64 on its own line, one ID per line. Save the file and start the server.
Join, press T to open chat and type #. The game prints the commands you may use.

A second file, ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini, in the same folder controls who can edit server settings in game. It takes the plain SteamID64 with no brackets or suffixes.

The guides reviewed cover dedicated and hosted servers. None of them documents how admin works in a local single player session, so that case is not covered here. Commands such as #SetAdmin or #God are reported not to exist in SCUM.

How the commands are written

Every command starts with # and is typed in the T chat box.
Command names, item IDs and character IDs are not case sensitive.
Angle brackets in guides mark values. Do not type the brackets.
Some commands take a player name, others a SteamID64. #Ban and #Unban use the SteamID64.
Type #ListItems <text> to search for the exact ID of an item, and #ListAnimals or #ListZombies for creatures.

How to spawn items, animals and puppets in SCUM

Use #SpawnItem <ID> <Count> and the item appears in front of you. The PCGamesN guide gives #spawnitem cal_9mm as an example ID for 9mm ammunition.

Command	What it does
`#SpawnItem <ID> <Count>`	Spawns items in front of you.
`#spawnitem <Weapon_Magazine_ID> <Count> AmmoCount <fill percentage>`	Spawns a weapon or magazine with a set ammo fill level.
`#SpawnAnimal <ID> <Count>`	Spawns animals of the given type.
`#SpawnZombie <ID> <Count>`	Spawns puppets of the given type.
`#SpawnRandomAnimal`	Spawns one random animal in front of you.
`#SpawnRandomZombie`	Spawns one random puppet in front of you.
`#SpawnVehicle <ID>`	Spawns a vehicle in front of you.
`#DestroyVehicle <VehicleID>`	Destroys one vehicle.
`#DestroyAllVehicles Please`	Destroys all vehicles. GGServers notes it refuses without the word Please.

Other IDs printed in the PCGamesN guide include bp_cow2 for a cow and bp_zombie2 for a puppet. Because that guide dates from 2019 and calls its own list incomplete, confirm IDs with #ListItems, #ListAnimals and #ListZombies in your current version.

SCUM teleport commands

Teleport commands move you or another player. Coordinates are three numbers for X, Y and Z.

Command	What it does
`#Teleport <X> <Y> <Z> <Player>`	Moves a player to the coordinates. Defaults to you.
`#TeleportTo <TargetPlayer> <Player>`	Moves a player to another player. Defaults to you.
`#TeleportToMe <Player>`	Brings that player in front of you.
`#TeleportToVehicle <VehicleID>`	Moves you (or a named player) to a vehicle.

Run #Location first to read your own coordinates, then reuse them to return to a spot.

SCUM god mode and permission tags

Some commands are off by default and need a tag in AdminUsers.ini. Add the tag in square brackets right after the SteamID64 with no space, for example the SteamID64 followed by [godmode].

With that tag, #SetGodMode <True/False> works. GGServers describes it as instant building and says it does not stop you dying. Host guides also mention #RestartServer as a command that needs its own permission.

Why SCUM console commands are not working

Nothing happens: you must be an admin. Check that your SteamID64 is in AdminUsers.ini and that the server was restarted after the edit.
The file does not exist: create it in /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/.
Command not recognised: the command must start with #. Type # alone to see what your account can run.
Item will not spawn: the ID is wrong or outdated. Look it up with #ListItems.
God mode refused: the permission tag is missing after your ID.
Vehicles are not destroyed: add the word Please to #DestroyAllVehicles.

SCUM console commands FAQ

How do I use SCUM console commands?

Press T to open chat, then type a command that starts with #, for example #ListPlayers. You must be listed as an admin on the server, otherwise the command is ignored.

How do I make myself admin in SCUM?

Add your 17-digit SteamID64 on its own line in AdminUsers.ini inside /SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ on the server, then restart. Host guides say the file is only read at server start.

How do I see all SCUM admin commands?

Type # (or #list in older guides) in chat. The game prints every command your account can use. The commands above come from two published references and may change with updates.

How do I spawn items in SCUM?

Use #SpawnItem followed by the item ID and a count. Search for IDs with #ListItems and part of the name. The item appears in front of your character.

Is there a SCUM god mode command?

#SetGodMode True works only if your entry in AdminUsers.ini carries the [godmode] tag. GGServers says it gives instant building and does not prevent death.

Are there SCUM console commands on Xbox or PlayStation?

The guides reviewed describe the PC game only. No console version commands are documented in them, so none are listed here.
