Console commands
Syntax from the public guide. Item ids live on the item page, not in a second list.
The Steam guide Update Console Commands 2.0, dated June 2025, is the fullest public syntax list. Cheatbook repeats that list, so I treat them as one lineage, not two confirmations. Examples that guide actually prints: additem 100 adds a box of shotgun ammo, addchar 1x10 adds ten infected, AddResearchpoint 100 grants research points, and AddVehicle 5 spawns one vehicle. The guide does not publish a full vehicle id table, so I stop at that single example.
A few ids in the same guide: wood is 0, ignition tool 21, lock picker 50, screwdriver 52, firearm repair kit 53, vehicle repair kit 55, 12 gauge ammo 100, 9mm 101. The searchable list on the item page is the longer set, with empty Fandom rows removed. 1.0 items that never appeared in either list stay blank rather than getting a made-up number.
The Horde challenge post says leaderboard runs do not count console use. If you are playing that event, leave the console alone. A Cheat Engine table is a memory editor made by a third party. I am not hosting the file, and using one can break a save or a multiplayer room. This page will not link a download.
Admin tools for co-op hosts are not in that guide. I am not filling the gap with commands from a different game.


| Command | Example | What the guide says | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| additem | additem 100 | A box of shotgun ammo | 1 source |
| addchar | addchar 1x10 | Ten infected | 1 source |
| AddResearchpoint | AddResearchpoint 100 | Research points | 1 source |
| AddVehicle | AddVehicle 5 | One vehicle. No id table. | 1 source |
Questions
How do I spawn an item?
The guide's pattern is additem followed by the id. additem 100 is the printed ammo example.
Where is the Cheat Engine table?
Not on this site. A CT file edits memory and is not an official command.
Can I use the console in Horde?
The challenge post says leaderboard runs reject console use.
