Unturned Console Commands & Cheats

Unturned commands can give you a lot of control over its world. Be it changing the weather, adding more animals, resources, teleporting, controlling your server, or anything like that. 

You just need to know the right keywords and a whole new world of possibilities will present themselves. That’s why we gathered all the useful Unturned server commands and single player commands that we could find. Check them out!

How to Enable the Console

Almost all games have the console disabled by default. However, Unturned allows you to get access to it simply by pressing the “~” button. 

Do keep in mind that some commands can only be inserted in the Commands.dat file which essentially executes every command when you launch the game. 

For local servers, the Commands.dat file can be found at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Unturned\Servers. 

Otherwise, if you’re using USO (Unturned Server Organizer), simply click the “Open Server Folder” button then go to the “Server” directory. 

Also, if you wish to use cheats, then you need to execute the /cheat command first. To disable them, just insert the same command again.
