8 thoughts on “Black Mesa Console Commands & Cheats”

  1. I found a way to activate them:

    Right click on Black Mesa in your library. Go to properties, then SET LAUNCH OPTIONS button. Type in the textbox: -console

    Console should appear once you launch the game. Once the level fully loads, type bind p toggleconsole

    You can replace ‘p’ with any key. Hope that works

  2. Cheating in Black Mesa does not disable Achievement gain because it is not a Steam game yet just a standalone mod. There are many cheating codes of this game at cheatland.net, you can access and search them

  3. thanks, I found out you can avoid grabbing the crowbar in the trash compacter and thought it would be a fun idea to play crowbar-less, tip: you NEED the crowbar or else you wan’t to use the little ammo you have on vent grates.

  4. Almost none of the console commands work.
    Working:
    give item_battery
    give item_healthkit
    give item_healthvial
    givecurrentammo
    give item_ammo_357

    But most of the others return an error.
    The give ammo
    And
    give_item_ammo do not work, except for the give item_ammo_357 which seems to work.

    I did try the
    sv_cheats 1
    But that made no difference. I didn’t think it would, since my console is working the the tilde~ key.

    Have these cheat codes been taken our of Black Mesa, or has the syntax been changed?
