How to Enable the Console & Use Spawn Commands
Before you attempt to use the ID codes listed above, you must understand the correct architecture of the developer console in Xenonauts 2.

~) and type giveitem item.weapon.magrifle 10. This does not work natively. The code to render the console window simply does not exist in the retail executable.⚠️
C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\My Games\Xenonauts-2\Saves\, open your tactical .json save file with Notepad++, Ctrl+F for your base stores, and manually inject the res.alienalloys string and desired quantity. This is incredibly risky and often corrupts the save if you miss a single comma.“Editing raw JSON save files for a tactical game like Xenonauts 2 is fine if you only need to do it once. But if you are experimenting with different squad builds or trying to bounce back from a squad wipe, manually typing case-sensitive strings becomes incredibly repetitive. One wrong character results in a ‘Save File Corrupted’ error. While the internal string lists are meticulously verified, I personally switched to a visual UI injector months ago. Seeing the material icon and just clicking ‘Add to Stores’ is how modern PC modding should feel.”

item.weapon.plasmasniper) that hasn’t been officially implemented into the current Early Access build yet. The game cannot find the associated 2D sprite.✅
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QAre these Item IDs case-sensitive in Xenonauts 2?
A: Yes. Because you are dealing with Unity’s internal asset strings within a JSON structure, they are strictly lowercase. Typing ITEM.WEAPON.RIFLE will break your save file.
QCan I spawn items while playing in Multiplayer or Co-Op?
A: Xenonauts 2 is a strictly single-player tactical experience. However, as a general rule, modifying memory or save files to spawn items is only for single-player environments.
QHow do I find the Item IDs for custom modded weapons from the Steam Workshop?
A: Finding dynamic load-order IDs manually in the Unity asset bundles is extremely difficult. We highly recommend using the XMODhub Item Browser, which automatically scans your active BepInEx mods, detects the custom weapons, and lets you spawn them with a single click without knowing the internal string.
