R.E.P.O. Cheats & Console Commands (2026 Guide)
R.E.P.O. has no built-in cheat codes — only two creator commands. Here is exactly what is and is not in the game, how to unlock the hidden debug console, and which trainers and cheat mods work in solo or private lobbies.
Quick Answer
R.E.P.O. does not include gameplay cheat codes. The only official commands are /cinematic and /greenscreen, both for content creators. Real cheats — god mode, infinite energy, unlimited money — come from third-party trainers like WeMod, from Cheat Engine tables, or from mods installed through Thunderstore. A hidden debug console exists but has to be unlocked with the REPOLib mod and Developer Mode. Keep every cheat and debug tool to solo or private lobbies so you do not break the game for other players.
Does R.E.P.O. Have Built-In Cheats?
The short answer is no. The developer, Semiwork, has not added cheat codes or a cheat menu. The only two chat commands in the vanilla game are content-creation tools — neither changes gameplay:
/cinematicCinematic
Hides the entire HUD (health, stamina, inventory) for clean screenshots and video captures. Type it again in chat to toggle the interface back on.
/greenscreenGreenscreen
Spawns a large green screen in front of your character so creators can chroma-key their footage in post. Neither command touches damage, money, or spawns — they are not gameplay cheats.
To use either one, press T to open chat, type the command with no space after the slash, and press Enter. For the full command reference see our commands & mods guide.
How to Enable the R.E.P.O. Debug Console
R.E.P.O. hides a developer debug console that advanced players use for testing. It is not exposed in the vanilla menus — you unlock it with mods. Here is the community-reported process:
Install a mod loader (BepInEx)
The debug console is not in the vanilla menus. You need BepInEx plus REPOLib, easiest through the Thunderstore Mod Manager. See our mods guide for the full install walkthrough.
Enable Developer Mode in the config
Community guides report you must turn on Developer Mode (and Vanilla Developer Mode) in the REPOLib config file, then fully restart the game for the change to take effect.
Open the console with the tilde (~) key
Once developer mode is active, press the ~ key (directly below Esc, left of the 1 key) to open the debug console. A mod such as LobbyImprovements_REPO can also toggle the console on via its own setting.
Keep it to private lobbies
Debug and developer tools change the game for everyone in the lobby. Use them only in solo or private runs with friends who agreed to it — never in a random public game.

R.E.P.O. Cheats, Trainers & Cheat Menus
For actual cheat effects — god mode, infinite energy, unlimited money, noclip — you need a trainer, a Cheat Engine table, or a cheat-style mod. These are the most widely used options. Run them only in solo or private lobbies:
WeMod ↗
The most popular R.E.P.O. trainer, with roughly 16 cheats such as No Damage, Infinite Energy, Invisibility and Super Grab. One-click installer with a free tier. WeMod itself states it is for single-player only — close it before joining any online match.
FearLess Cheat Engine Table ↗
A community-built Cheat Engine table for advanced users. Lets you toggle god mode, infinite stamina and item values by hand. Requires the free Cheat Engine app and some setup.
REPO Infinite Health (Thunderstore) ↗
A focused Thunderstore mod that simply grants infinite health. Installs through the Thunderstore Mod Manager like any other mod — the simplest option if you only want one effect and already run mods.
MoreCommands (mod) ↗
Adds dozens of extra chat commands for teleporting, spawning items and moderating a lobby — the closest thing to a "cheat command" set. Everyone in the lobby needs the same mod installed for it to work online.
Using Cheats Safely (Kicks & Ban Risk)
- Cheat in solo or private lobbies only. R.E.P.O. has no aggressive anti-cheat, but hosts and other players can and will kick anyone who breaks the run.
- Close standalone trainers before public play. Tools like WeMod are single-player only and openly warn against multiplayer use.
- Match mods with your friends. Mod-based cheats need the same versions on every client or the lobby will not sync.
- Only download from reputable sources — Thunderstore, WeMod, FearLess — and scan anything else. Random "free cheat" downloads are a common malware vector.
- Expect cheats to break after updates. Early-access patches routinely disable trainers and mods until the author releases a fix.
Bottom line: cheats are a fine way to mess around in your own lobby, but keep them out of random public games — that is what gets you kicked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does R.E.P.O. have built-in cheats or cheat codes?
No. R.E.P.O. ships with no gameplay cheat codes. The only official chat commands are /cinematic and /greenscreen, both aimed at content creators — they hide the HUD or spawn a green screen and do not affect health, money or spawns. Every real cheat effect (god mode, infinite energy, item spawning) comes from third-party trainers or mods, not from the base game.
Is there a debug menu or developer console?
There is a hidden debug console, but it is not enabled by default. Community guides explain that you install REPOLib (through a mod loader), switch on Developer Mode in its config, restart the game, then press the tilde (~) key to open the console. Because it needs mods to unlock, it counts as a modded feature rather than a vanilla one.
Can I get banned for using cheats in R.E.P.O.?
R.E.P.O. has no aggressive anti-cheat, so there is no automated ban system today. The realistic risk is being kicked by a host or other players when your mods or trainer break their game. Trainer makers like WeMod also warn that some anti-cheat systems can detect the app even when idle, so the safe habit is to only cheat in solo or private lobbies and close trainers before public play.
How do I cheat in single-player R.E.P.O.?
Launch a private lobby (you can play solo), then use a trainer such as WeMod or a Cheat Engine table for effects like god mode and infinite energy. Alternatively install a focused cheat mod from Thunderstore. Since no one else is in the lobby, nothing can conflict and there is no host to kick you — this is the safest place to experiment with cheats.
Can I use cheats in multiplayer with friends?
Yes, in a private lobby where everyone agrees. For mod-based cheats (extra commands, higher player caps) every player usually needs the same mods installed or the lobby will not sync. Standalone trainers like WeMod are built for single-player and are not recommended online. The golden rule from the community is simple: keep cheats out of random public games so you do not ruin the run for strangers.
What is the difference between cheats, commands and mods?
Commands are the two official chat inputs (/cinematic, /greenscreen). Mods are third-party files installed through Thunderstore that change or add features. Cheats are the subset of tools — trainers, Cheat Engine tables and certain mods — that give you an unfair advantage like god mode or infinite money. This page focuses on cheats; see our commands guide and mods guide for the other two.
Is there a cheat for unlimited money or surplus?
Not officially, but trainers and cheat tables commonly expose an "unlimited money" or "unlimited surplus" toggle, and some Thunderstore mods do the same. These edit the value in memory or through the mod API rather than using a code you type. Treat any downloaded trainer with caution: only grab it from a reputable source, keep it to private lobbies, and expect it to break after big game updates until the author patches it.
