Subnautica Below Zero: Cheats - Basic commands Subnautica Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 27 March 2021
Subnautica: Below Zero offers access to a wide range of different commands. Each of them has its own unique impact on the environment of the game. They can allow you to instantly gain various types of resources or items, which are often impossible to obtain by any other means. The following chapter contains a list of the most useful commands that are available in the game. The following indicators have been used for the purposes of said list:
- Name - determines the numerical value or the alternative name of a certain action/item that must be entered into the command in order to obtain the desired effect.
- # - determines the number of items that will be spawned in. At the moment when no value is given, the number 1 will be entered into the command by default.
It is definitely worth saving the game first before you use any cheats. It may happen that the game misidentifies a command and the final effect will be different from the one you originally desired. In addition, commands can conflict one another, e.g. if you try to move your character while it is located in a vehicle that you have previously spawned in, the game will block the teleport command.
Command | Function |
item Name # or spawn Name # | Both of these commands are used to spawn items into the game's world. The only difference is that in the case of the item command, all smaller items will be placed directly into your inventory. Spawn, however, always creates objects directly in front of the player. The complete list of items that can be obtained this way has its own dedicated chapter. |
