Cheats in older versions of Warzone

Enable Cheat Mode in Windows & Linux (2.2.x and below)

Step 1. Start the game with the "--cheat" command line option. Step 1 can be skipped if you are using 2.3 beta 6 or newer.

In Windows, refer to this visual guide:

For more info take a look at Command Line Options to see a list of command lines and how to use them.

Step 2. During gameplay, press "left shift" and "backspace" simultaneously.

This should result in a message "Cheats enabled".

If it doesn't, you are probably using an old keymap and should reset it.
