What are Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord Cheat Codes and Console Commands?

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord cheat codes and console commands are special inputs you can use to alter or customize the game beyond normal gameplay. They allow you to do things like:

• Instantly give yourself gold, influence, renown, or XP
• Spawn troops, items, or horses directly into your party
• Instantly heal yourself or your army
• Teleport across the map
• Adjust game difficulty or AI behavior
• Experiment with debug tools

There are two main types:

1. Cheat Codes (Hotkeys): Enabled by setting cheat_mode = 1 in the engine_config.txt file. These are built-in key combos (like Ctrl + X to gain gold in inventory).
2. Console Commands: Entered into the in-game developer console (opened with Alt + ~ after enabling cheats). These are text commands, such as:

• campaign.add_gold_to_hero [amount] → Adds gold.
• campaign.add_influence [amount] → Adds influence.
• campaign.add_skill_xp_to_hero [skill] [amount] → Gives XP in a chosen skill.
• campaign.give_troops [troopID] [amount] → Spawns troops.

They’re mostly used for testing, experimenting, or making gameplay easier and more flexible.

How to Enable Cheats in Bannerlord?

To enable cheats, you’ll need to edit one file. Go to Documents > Mount and Blade II Bannerlord > engine_config.txt on your PC. Open the file with a text editor such as Notepad, then find the line cheat_mode = 0. Change the value from 0 to 1, save the file, and restart Bannerlord. Cheats should now be available in-game.

Note: Some forum posts suggest you must start a new campaign for cheats to work. However, I tested them on both an existing character and a new one, and they functioned fine in both cases. That said, Fraser reported that enabling cheats this way only affected his performance without unlocking them. Results may vary, so share your experience if you try it.

How to Enable Console Commands in Bannerlord?

Once cheat mode is turned on, you can use the console to customize your Bannerlord gameplay with a variety of cheats. The commands are short, case-sensitive phrases that you type into the console and confirm to trigger changes in the game. They’re simple to use, and you’ll quickly see how each one reshapes your Bannerlord experience.

To open the console, press Alt + ~ (tilde). Enter the command you want, then press Enter to apply it. Some cheats require values inside angle brackets (e.g., <number>); in those cases, replace the brackets with the number you want. Press Alt + ~ again to close the console—and feel free to open it as often as needed!

Combat Cheats List

• Ctrl + F4: Knocks out enemy combatant
• Ctrl + Alt + F4: Knocks out all enemy combatants
• Ctrl + F3: Knocks out the player character
• Ctrl + Shift + F3: Knocks out the player’s horse
• Ctrl + F2: Knocks out one of your own troops

Movement and Map Cheats

• Ctrl + left click: Holding Ctrl while you left click on the world map teleports you to that spot, allowing instant travel to any desired location.
