How you want to play singleplayer games, be they on PC or console is your preference. Some players enjoy the challenge of learning and beating a new game. Some want to put the training wheels on and learn the game at a slower pace, possibly breaking down in more detail how each mechanic works by learning what satisfies it. Other players just want to jump in and dominate the competition.
Whatever your style, the option is usually there for all three of those approaches, mostly thanks to debug tools or command consoles. Developers have mostly moved away from the old school cheat codes systems common to earlier console generations though, now it’s all debugging tools and exploits. And with XCOM: Chimera Squad the trend is continuing.
So if you want to dominate in XCOM: Chimera Squad, here’s how to enable console commands to spawn resources and gear for your units.
Steam is a bit different than the normal method. Right-click on XCOM: Chimera Squad in your Steam library and select Properties. Go to launch options and type in “-allowconsole”. (without the quotes)
If you are launching the game from a shortcut on your Desktop, copy and paste the following line into the target field, C:\Games\XCOM: Chimera\Binaries\Win64\XCom.exe” -allowconsole
The next time you launch the game, press the tilde key to open the console during play. This will allow you to type in a variety of Console Commands in XCOM: Chimera Squad that will unlock new gear and weapons, as well as resources for building new gear and units. Players will notice that much of the commands are similar to those in XCOM 2, check below for a list of some Console Commands in XCOM: Chimera Squad.
