Console Commands (Q2)

These are some of the console commands or 'cheats' for Quake 2.


 * "god" - the player becomes invincible, though falling into the void would still kill the player.


 * "give all" - the player receives all weapons at full ammo.


 * "give ?" - Type give in the console then in place of the ? put the item you need or want. This is a much slower method than using the 'give all' cheat. However, it can be used to give you items that open doors or bypass security. It can also can be used to give ammo and armor, albeit slowly. Typing give health can be used to restore your health to 100%, but it won't let you go over that amount.


 * "notarget" - enemies do not get angered, when seeing the player, but shooting one of them will provoke them to fight.


 * "sv_gravity (number)" - Represents where you put in numbers for your gravity settings. For example, if you did 9999, you wouldn't even leave the ground if you jumped due to the gravity being too high. If you did 1 you would float and flutter like a feather.


 * "noclip" - This cheat can be very useful, allowing you to fly around and pass through every object, especially locked doors and secret areas. This can be useful to get out unreachable areas.
 * "hand #" (0 or 1) - Changes the hand the player uses for holding and firing weapons. This can be useful for firing around corners without uncovering oneself.
