Dead Island 2 Console Commands: The Ultimate Guide to Unlocking God Mode, Money & Durability

Welcome to HELL-A. Whether you are slicing through the undead at the Monarch Studios set or trying to survive the Santa Monica Pier with Jacob or Dani, you inevitably hit a frustration wall. Weapons break mid-fight, cash for repairs runs dry, and Apex Variants like Butchers and Mutators can end your run in seconds.

Naturally, you are searching for Dead Island 2 console commands to even the odds. You might be looking for a way to spawn_legendary_weapon or toggle god_mode.

But here is the gory truth: Unlike the original game or Bethesda titles like Fallout, Dead Island 2 does not have a native developer console enabled for players. You cannot simply press the tilde (~) key to bypass the grind.

As experts in Unreal Engine 4 modification, the XMODhub team is here to explain why the console is hidden, reveal hidden config file tweaks for technical users, and show you the safest way to get Infinite Durability and Max Level instantly.

Quick Summary (TL;DR) for PC Players

• Is there a Console Command window? No. Dambuster Studios locked the debug console (Unreal Console) in the retail shipping build.
• Do text codes like give_money work? No.
• The Best Solution: Use an external Trainer. XMODhub is the recommended tool to safely inject cheats like Infinite Durability and No Reload without crashing your game or corrupting your save files.

“My Gold Tier Katana Broke at the Worst Possible Moment”

Catherine Hu | Gamer and Tester at XMODhub

“I love Dead Island 2’s FLESH system—dismembering zombies is incredibly satisfying. But the aggressive weapon durability system? It kills the pacing.

I was in the middle of a frantic fight with a ‘Mutator’ in the sewers. I had just crafted a perfect electric Katana with a Superior Mod. Three hits in, it broke. I was left scrambling with a rusty pipe and died instantly.

I scoured Reddit and forums looking for a console command like repair_all or infinite_durability. I found nothing but clickbait. The game creates a false sense of difficulty by constantly taking your toys away. That’s when I switched to our Trainer to enable Infinite Durability. It didn’t ruin the game; it fixed the fun. I could finally enjoy the combat without staring at a degradation bar every two seconds.”

The Hard Truth: Why Commands Are Locked (Technical Deep Dive)

Dead Island 2 runs on Unreal Engine 4. In development builds, developers use the console to test features (e.g., ToggleDebugCamera). However, in the “Shipping Build” (the version you buy on Epic or Steam), Dambuster Studios completely disabled the Unreal Console access.

Why did they do this?

1. Co-op Stability: Dead Island 2 relies heavily on peer-to-peer multiplayer. Enabling console commands could cause massive desync issues if one player enters God Mode and the other doesn’t.
2. Economy Protection: The game wants you to scavenge for parts and cash. A command like give_cash 1000000 bypasses the core gameplay loop.

Warning: Any website giving you a list of text codes (like god_mode 1 or impulse 101) is likely copying them from other games to trick you. They will not work in Dead Island 2.

Advanced: The “Hidden” Console (Config File Edits)

Before you resort to cheats, you should know that some features players look for in console commands—like changing your Field of View (FOV) beyond the menu limits or disabling motion blur—can be done by editing the game’s config files manually.

How to Access Dead Island 2 Config Files:

1. Press Win + R on your keyboard.
2. Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\DeadIsland\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ and hit Enter.
3. Open GameUserSettings.ini with Notepad.

Useful Tweaks (Command Equivalents):

• Fix/Increase FOV: Search for the line FieldOfView and change the value (e.g., to 110 or 120).
• Disable Chromatic Aberration: Add r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0 to the bottom of the Engine.ini file in the same folder.
• Remove HUD: Unfortunately, this usually requires a mod or XMODhub, as the config line is often locked by the game engine.

Note: Config edits are safe, but they won’t give you God Mode. For that, you need the methods below.

Top 5 Wishlist Commands vs. Reality (Long-Tail Keywords)

Since you can’t type these commands in-game, here is how you can actually achieve these effects using XMODhub. We mapped the most searched “imaginary commands” to real solutions.

You Want to Type… (The Keyword)	The Reality	XMODhub Feature Solution
spawn_legendary_weapon	Command does not exist.	Inventory Editor: Add specific crafting materials to build Gold-tier weapons instantly.
infinite_durability 1	Command does not exist.	Infinite Durability: Toggle this to make weapons unbreakable.
give_money 999999	Command does not exist.	Edit Money: Set your cash to $10,000,000 to buy every Fuse and Blueprint.
god_mode	Command does not exist.	Infinite Health: Take zero damage from explosions, acid, or bites.
no_clip (Fly Mode)	Locked behind dev tools.	Player Speed / Jump Height: Modify movement to reach inaccessible areas.

Quick Comparison: Finding the Best Way to Cheat

Since you can’t use native commands, here is how the alternatives stack up.

Feature	Developer Menu Mods (Nexus)	Cheat Engine Tables	XMOD Trainer
Install Difficulty	High (DLL Swapping)	Medium (Requires scripts)	Easy (Auto-Detect)
Safety	Glitchy / Buggy	High Risk (Crashes)	Safe (Anti-Crash)
Durability Fix	Inconsistent	Yes	Perfect (Never Break)
Co-op Safety	Desync Risk	Desync Risk	Host Only Recommended
Updates	Breaks every patch	Slow updates	Instant (Auto-Update)

Method 1: The “Manual” Way (Debug Menu Mods)

There is a way to force a menu to appear, but it requires modifying game files. This is usually done via a “Developer Menu” mod hosted on Nexus Mods.

The Process:

1. Sign up for Nexus Mods and download the “Dead Island 2 Developer Menu”.
2. Locate your game folder (e.g., Epic Games\DeadIsland2\DeadIsland\Binaries\Win64).
3. Replace specific .dll files or inject a loader.
4. Launch the game.

The Risk: These mods are notoriously unstable. A small hotfix from the developers can cause the mod to crash your game on startup (“Fatal Error”). Furthermore, using these in public Co-op lobbies can corrupt your save data.

Method 2: The XMODhub Solution (Recommended)

Why deal with crashing mods or broken weapons? XMODhub offers a dedicated, auto-updating Trainer for Dead Island 2 that solves the durability and ammo problem instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use cheats in Dead Island 2 Co-op Multiplayer?

A: Technically yes, but we strongly recommend using cheats only in Single Player or if you are the Host of a private Co-op session with friends. Using “God Mode” in public lobbies can cause connection desyncs and ruin the experience for random players.

Q: Is there a cheat to get Golden (Legendary) Weapons?

A: There isn’t a direct “spawn” button, but by using the Infinite Durability and Max Damage cheats in XMODhub, you can turn any standard weapon into a legendary-tier powerhouse.

Q: Does using console commands or trainers ban me?

A: Dead Island 2 does not use Anti-Cheat software (like VAC or EasyAntiCheat) for its campaign mode. You will not be banned for using XMODhub in your own game session.

Q: How do I change my FOV if there is no console?

A: You can change your FOV by navigating to %LOCALAPPDATA%\DeadIsland\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ and editing the GameUserSettings.ini file, as detailed in our “Config Tweaks” section above.

Verdict

While Dambuster Studios kept the Dead Island 2 console commands locked away to force the survival grind, you don’t have to suffer through broken weapons, expensive repairs, and empty clips.

Whether you want to create a “Sandbox Mode” with Unlimited Money or just fix the annoyance of weapon degradation, XMODhub provides the safest, easiest key to unlocking the full potential of your Slayer.
