Foreword

As a preface to this guide, I should mention that using cheats will most likely spoil your enjoyment of the game (especially if you're going to fly around to all the areas). I would recommend trying these cheats out after a playthrough or two, or if you wanted to curve the difficulty of the game a bit by modifying your stats, spawning some items, etc.

Enabling cheats

To allow yourself to enter and activate cheats in Urge, you need to simply add a file called

cheats.txt

in the same directory as the exe.

The file does not need to contain anything, but you can enter the names of various cheats if you want them to be toggled on automatically when entering the game.

Triggering the cheats

To trigger a cheat, you first need to hit DEL (delete) on your keyboard to clear the input string. Imagine all of your inputs are going into an invisible notepad document: DEL clears this. Once you have cleared the input string, type the name of a cheat. For instance "fly". Then hit INS (insert) on your keyboard and the cheat will activate.

DEL: Clear cheat buffer
Type your command directly into the game using your keyboard (there is no input window)
INS: Activate the cheat

dnSpy Alternative (digital literacy required)

If the cheats.txt method does not work for you (I'm still not sure why this is happening for some users) then you might want to opt for this alternative.

Download dnSpy, an open-source .NET debugger and assembly editor, here: https://github.com/dnSpy/dnSpy/releases

Open dnSpy and go to File > Open

Navigate to the directory your game is installed at and enter the Urge_Data > Managed subdirectory. Select Assembly-CSharp.dll

The .dll will appear in the leftmost panel. Open up the dropdowns like the image below.

Scroll down until you find 'GameStuff'. Open that, too. Inside should be the Start() function.

Select the Start() function by clicking on it. The right-side panel of dnSpy should show you the code of this function. We are looking at the underlined line of code specifically.

Right-click the line this.cheats = File.Exists(path);. Hit Edit Method (C#).

Change "File.Exists(path);" to "true;". Do not forget the semicolon.

Click 'compile' in the bottom right of the window.

Go to File > Save All

Change no settings and hit OK.

All done. Now you can close dnSpy and open Urge. Your cheats should be working regardless of the text file's existence.

PSA: Your changes will be reverted the next time the game updates/patches. You can repeat this same process again if you need to. This method works in most Unity games (read: ones not using il2cpp) and you can modify and recompile whatever code you want, assuming it's syntactically correct.

Mo Gigmal 9 May @ 10:35pm

nvm its working now i just did txt file wrong

Mo Gigmal 9 May @ 8:35pm

i followed the steps to enabling cheats im trying to turn on creative its not working

r4tb0y [author] 4 May @ 9:11am

Updated, all of these commands should work now.

r4tb0y [author] 4 May @ 8:48am

I'll decompile the assembly and update the rest.

GooseEgg000 3 May @ 10:38pm

so the following commands are the same guns, fat, sick,-day, day, creative, time, -time, kit, kits, kitp, kith, fogdanger, peaceful, stats0, fog0, fog, -fog, fog10, fly, urge1, and urge 0

all others have either been changed or removed i do not know where to check i manually tested each one i also found that pressing insert without typing anything else in would activate the cheat again and holding it down would cause it to activate rapidly

r4tb0y [author] 3 May @ 9:44pm

thanks, updated

GooseEgg000 3 May @ 9:32pm

strength changed to strong in recent update
