Cheats

If you haven't completed the game yet we don't recommend you use these cheats unless you really, really have to get past an area.

Cheat Activation

Open Steam and double click the "Half-Life 2" icon under "My Games" as normal. Once the Half-Life 2 splash screen has loaded go to "Options", then click "Keyboard", then click "Advanced" and finally check "Enable Developers Console". This will enable the console in-game. Another way to enable the console is to right click the "Half-Life 2" in the Steam "My Games" menu and select "properties". Then click the launch options button and enter "-console" (without the quotes) into the options box.

Now when in-game hit tilde (~) to bring down the console and enter “sv_cheats 1”. You can then enter the following codes. Note that cheats may not work until the next loading screen.

Enable cheats and enter these commands without the bracket text.

* god (invincible)
