Editor’s Note: Can You Cheat in Cairn?

“Cairn runs on a custom physics engine. In the current Release build, the developers have hidden the console key to prevent breaking the rope simulation.

While you can try modifying config files to unlock it, this often causes game instability. At XMODhub, we recommend using an external memory trainer to inject cheats safely.”

— Catherine Hu, Senior Modding Specialist at XMODhub

To access the debug menu, try these standard methods:

Right-click Cairn in Steam > Properties.

Le problème : pourquoi les commandes de la console désactivent-elles les réalisations ?

L'utilisation de la console de développement a un coût :

Verrouillage des réalisations : Typing cheats usually flags your save file, permanently disabling Steam/Xbox Achievements.
Sauver la corruption : Spawning quest items before you should have them can break game scripts.
Inconvénients : Vous devez retaper les codes à chaque fois que vous chargez le jeu.

La meilleure alternative : XMODhub Trainer (Pas de saisie)

Stop memorizing codes. XMODhub acts as a visual overlay that bypasses the need for the developer console entirely.
