For Fallout 3 on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'How do I open the console on the 360 verison?' In the Properties of Fallout 4 go to launch options and type '-console' (without the quotations) In game my console commands open with the @ key (Shift+') I use a UK Qwerty layout. How to use Console Commands.
If you just want the Bobbleheads, open console, type: help bobble 4 then press enter. It'll list whatever is named bobble (don't try and type 2 words in a search; can also type bob though it'll pull up everything with bob in it). The '4' has to be included in every 'help' search as it lists everything vs. Selectively showing results. To fix, open the console, click on the door, then disable and enable. This should fix the issue and reset the door to its correct state. If Sarge is shut down or turned friendly using the Hack skill Ronnie may not progress to operating the terminal to open the security door, resulting in the quest being stuck. It may be possible to fix this. To use Fallout 4’s commands, you’ll need to open the developer console screen. This is easily done by tapping the tilde key, which can be found under the Esc key, and just to the left of the 1.
The console is a great utility that's avaiable on PC and Mac (Steam) versions of Fallout 4. Via the console, you can execute commands (cheats) that can change every part of the game - you can add items, spawn charcters, hide buildings, etc.
How to Open the Console
Opening the console is done with the press of a hotkey. The hotkey used to open the console in Fallout 4 varies based on your keyboard layout. The most common keys are:
- ~ (tilde)
- ' (apostrophe)
- ' (quotation marks)
- ` (grave, the key underneath the ESC key)
If you've tried pressing all 4 of the above and none work, we recommend taking a look at your keyboard/mouse settings in the in-game settings screen to see which hotkey has been assigned. There is also a table of less common hotkeys (other keyboard layouts) at the bottom of this article.
How to Use the Console
Commands are simply words/sentences typed into the console that tell the game what to do. To execute a command, simply type it into the console and hit enter. An example of a command is player.resethealth, if you were to type this into the console and hit enter, your health would be restored to 100%.
Sometimes commands require arguments. Arguments are simply extra bits of information separated by spaces after a command.
The command player.removeitem removes an item from your inventory. In order to tell the command what item you remove, you need to specify an item id as an argument. The item ID for a flare gun is 001025ac, if you wanted to remove that from your inventory with a command, you'd type player.removeitem 001025ac. In the command player.removeitem 001025ac, the argument is 001025ac.
In our command list, there are many commands that require a target ID (reference ID). For help with these commands, please see our reference ID guide.
