We Happy Few: All the Best Console Commands | PC Cheat Codes List

Cheat codes are a rare commodity in gaming these days, but We Happy Few (and Unreal Engine 4) supports developer console commands so anyone can spawn items or unlock god mode. Like Source and other engines that support an easy-to-use debug console, these commands aren’t entirely obvious, and can take some experimentation to get just right. If you’re interested in unlocking some fun new ways to experience We Happy Few, then keep scrolling and see how to activate the console.

We don’t yet know all of the codes, so we’ve put together a list of the most useful codes discovered so far. That includes a list of handy items, including weapons, armor, and drugs to summon into your inventory. There are codes to turn invisible, teleport, or unlock inventory slots / lore entries / crafting recipes. Basically, you’ll find everything to make survival a cinch.

Get a deeper look into this retro-futuristic survival adventure on our We Happy Few early-access preview and learn all the ins-and-outs of Wellington Wells.

How to Activate the Developer Console

Note: Using console commands may cause We Happy Few to crash. Restart to repair or select “Verify Integrity of Game Cache” in the Local Files tab in the Properties menu. 

The developer console is a special window that allows you to spawn items or activate cheat codes in-game. To activate the developer console window, follow these steps on Steam.

• Right-click We Happy Few and select Properties -> Select ‘Set Launch Options’
• Enter “-console” — don’t include the quotations.

Now that the developer console is enabled, you can open the console command window in-game.

• Press tilde [~] or [`] — on non-US keyboards, use the key beneath [Esc] or left of [1]

With the console window available, you can begin inputting commands.
