Fallout: New Vegas console commands

In Fallout: New Vegas, just like in Fallout 3, the console is a debugging tool left by the developers in the PC version of the game. It is useful for developing and quality assurance, but it can also be used to cheat.

WARNING: Using console commands in the Steam version of Fallout: New Vegas will prevent you from obtaining achievements!

To access the console, use the backquote key (`) while in-game (Unpaused). The backquote key shifts to tilde (~) on US keyboards, and the not symbol (¬) on UK keyboards. Other keyboards will differ, but the key is usually to the left of 1, and just under the Escape key (Esc). The key is the top left key under escape, on non-US keyboards. (Example: §, ½ or | on Scandinavian (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian etc), circumflex (^) on German keyboards, ² on French ones, \ or | on Italian Keyboards, ' on Brazilian Keyboards, " on Turkish keyboards). The HUD will disappear and you will get a prompt (|) in the lower left corner of the screen where you can type-in code(s). OR
 * The game will pause, making you unable to look around while using it -be sure to be looking at what you want to change, unlock, etc.
 * The mouse will control a cursor, rather than move the camera; and left clicking will select visible objects, rather than shoot them.
 * The left side of the console might not be visible if you are not using a widescreen display. In this case, type several tabs to move the cursor in before entering your commands. They will still work.
 * Go into your Fallout New Vegas install directory, find Fallout_default.ini (make sure it is not read-only) and open it in notepad. Then use ctrl+f to find the iConsoleTextXPos line and change the 30 to a larger number, 200 for example. This will make the console appear in the right place.

Note: Most commands are the same in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas because both games use the same engine.
