Few games have actual cheats these days, but Valheim is the exception to the rule. Thanks to the use of console commands, you can activate a genuine cheat mode, including things like god mode, revealing the entire map, healing yourself, raising your skill levels, and so much more.

How to access Valheim cheats and console commands

 
The System for Valheim cheats has changed a fair bit thanks to an update and you now need to activate it before you launch the game. To do this right click on the game name in your library and choose ‘properties’. From there look for the Launch Options at the bottom of the General tab. Enter -console in the text box so it looks like this:
 

 
 

 
 
Close down the window and start the game and you’ll be in business. As before you can press F5 to open up the dev console. HOWEVER, like the process the command as also changed and you now need to enter devcommands to activate Valheim cheats instead of the old term ‘imacheater’. Like before you can also deactivate cheats by typing in devcommands again.
 
 
Do note that while you can freely enter Valheim cheat codes in single player mode, you can only use them during multiplayer if you are the server host or have been given access by the current server host.
