Introduction
This guide was inspired by multiple users who wrote similar guides but never updated them, they weren't complete or they were inaccurate. If any user notices any mistakes simply write a comment or if you're not comfortable doing so contact me on Discord at Luma#0246.

My goal is to make this guide as simple to follow and as accurate as possible, it's good to remember that we all make mistakes, even those who push to be perfect.

If this guide helped you it would be heavily appreciated if you liked, favorited or commented on it!

If you're feeling charitable feel free to give me some steam points ~ check below for how!

How to use Console
Firstly, it's worth mentioning you will need to have a mod enabled to use console. You cannot use console without first loading up any mod. It is also worth mentioning you cannot obtain xp, levels or any other form of progression while using any mods or console.

Once you have loaded up any mod, simply click the ` key which is usually located below your ESC button. Doing so will load up something that looks like this.




If you see this you're on the right track. If you don't see this it means you likely did not load up a
mod properly and I would suggest going back through the last step.

Once you see this you'll want to type /developer 2 and then click ENTER. After doing so you will not see any prompt that confirms that it is enabled, however it should be. Just do not send the command multiple times.






Assuming you've followed all of the above steps this means you now have console properly enabled for this play session. You will need to do this every single time you reload the game, otherwise console will not be enabled on subsequent sessions.

The game offers a ton of commands for the player to use should they have /developer 2 enabled, some of which are extremely useful for the average player and some of which have no use unless you know what you're doing. Below is a pretty detailed, compiled and categorized list of commands that you can use. It is worth noting not all commands are listed, as there is simply too many to list.
Cheat Codes
These commands should work on any map, they are a variety of 'Cheat Code' commands that will boost the players experience (or degrade it depending upon the command). As always, it's worth noting some commands are unstable and may lead to crashes or bugs. In most cases just restarting your game should fix the issue(s).

/god
gives the player god mode.
/noclip
allows the player to fly around (noclip) through the map and objects.
/ufo
same command as noclip.
/fast_restart
restarts the session without a loading screen.
/give [weapon_id]
gives the player the weapon associated with the id sent.
/give ammo
gives the player ammo.
/kill
kills the player.
/take [item_id]
takes the item that was last inputted from the player.
/take all
takes all items from the player.
/devmap [map_name]
loads the map that was inputted. might cause crashes or instability.
/timescale [0-10]
changes the speed of the game. 0 being slowest and 10 being fastest. 1 is default.
/timescale [0-10]
changes the speed of the game. 0 being slowest and 10 being fastest. 1 is default.
/killserver
takes you back to the zombies main menu screen. kills the server.
Gun IDs - Global
These commands are the criteria that will fill the [weapon_name] slot at the end of /give weapon_name. It's worth noting map specific guns will not spawn on other maps to my knowledge. It is simply too much work to include all exceptions here.

dont forget to always enable god-mode when going out of bounds as Treyarch doesn't know what fun is and has a kill bind when you leave the map boundaries in this one

Wave guns for Moon is: "microwavegundw"

also today I passed my written/knowledge test from the dmv
D󠀡󠇩ank⁧󠀡lord 10 Sep, 2022 @ 2:17pm 
no problem, also if you are hosting a zombies server using the private game/server browser, you can use commands to customize your server name and description, altho it needs to be tested to see if it 100% works

Update;

- Added /killserver to the Cheat Codes section.

Thanks "Shitass"!

/killserver if you are ever stuck on a loading screen with your friends or something, anyone can use the command and it just refreshes the zombies menu/lobby if you are ever stuck

Answering The_lumbago_band:

As far as I know it works on all Chronicles. Could be wrong.
The_lumbago_band 10 Aug, 2022 @ 10:32am 
does the olimpia work on all the Chronicles or just a few?
