Frequently asked
- Do cheats disable achievements and trophies?
- Yes, and for good on that save file. The game warns that enabling a code permanently prevents saving and trophies. Switching the cheat off does not undo it, so load a save from before you used any cheat.
- Do cheats affect 100% completion?
- In practice, yes. A cheat stops the file from saving again, so any completion progress made after it is lost. Reload a clean save before working toward 100%. See the 100% completion list
- Can I save the game with a cheat active?
- No. Enabling a code stops that file from saving, permanently, even after you switch the cheat off. Reload a save made before you used it.
- Do cheats work in multiplayer?
- No. Cheats are single-player only, and the PS4, Switch and PC releases have no online multiplayer at all.
- How do I turn a cheat off?
- Open Options, then Cheats, and switch it off. The effect stops, but the file still cannot be saved. Invincibility and Infinite Ammo are also known to switch themselves off after some events.
- Why is my cheat not working?
- Check the punctuation first: commas and full stops must match. Cheats also cannot be switched on during an activity, so finish or leave it and try again.
