By The_Rusty_Geek
Are you stuck? Are you a huge sissy and can't take the stress of the dark early parts of the game? Use console commands to literally make yourself a god, and I'll be telling you how to enable the console, and list some commands here for you to play around with.

Enabling the Console


Make sure you have Half-Life Alyx closed

Navigate to your library and right click Half Life Alyx, in the dropdown menu that appears, click "properties"



Next, click " set launch options"



Next, paste -console -vconsole into the textbox and click OK

Opening the console In-Game
Open up Half-Life Alyx
For most of these commands to work, you have to be loaded ingame, so load a savegame and pause your game.

Press "~" on your keyboard to load up the console. If you cant find the key, its located above the "tab" key. Now, a window will open up on your PC monitor, not in your VR headset so you'll have to take off your headset to use the console, which is why I recommend pausing your game when using the console.

Using the Console (entering commands)


This is what your console will look like.



Type in your commands in the textbox that I've circled in red, helpfully labeled "command".
Press enter after you are finished typing in or copy-pasting your commands for them to take effect.
Console Commands (the fun part)
You must type in "sv_cheats 1" without quotes and press enter for most of these commands to work, .

Commands: (feel free to submit more in the comments section and I'll add them here, I haven't really had the time to test out that many commands)

sv_infinite_ammo 1 - enables infinite ammo, change the 1 to a 0 to disable infinite ammo

god - toggles invincibility

impulse 101 - gives you all weapons and 20 resin

It doesn't even let me confirm, what kind of version of steam are you even running?

SimpleMinded™, It's likely if you used the cheat "give (item)" you could spawn the gnome but, that would also disable the achievements right. What you need is a game save file from someone else that is at the 'tractor beam' part. You can ask around and probably get one.

I am currently right at that point with my gnome but, I wont give you my save file. Because: 1. I actually did injure the tendons of my right wrist from holding that stupid gnome in my left hand all game. Why should I just hand off that work too you? 2. The achievement has value because not so many people have actually done it, and that is evident from the percent completed, so why would I want to cheapen my accomplishment by handing out my effort like candy to the lazy/unmotivated? 3. It's an achievement because it is something you work to achieve. Earn it, Loser.

Also, sv_cheats 1 will likely disable achievements like in previous Half Life games. So make sure to disable it with sv_cheats 0 and reload the game before achievement hunting.
