Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord: Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord console commands

First, you’ll need to make an edit to a single file. Head to this location on your PC: Documents > Mount and Blade II Bannerlord > engine>config.txt.

Open it with a text editor like Notepad, and look for this line: cheat_mode = 0
Change 0 to 1 and save the file.

• Your inventory will display a list of every item in the game on the left side of the screen

• Your party screen will display a list of every military unit in the game

• When you click on an item or unit you will receive it for free

• You will enable the developer’s console to type in various cheats. You can press Alt and ~ to open the in-game developer’s console and start using console commands. Press Alt and ~ again to close it.

If you want to use console commands without spoiling the game content then you will have to just ignore what is going on in the inventory screen and party screen. It is worth not exploring the list of all items because there is a lot of cool content you can find as you play the game.

These commands give an amount of experience to the main hero skill which is modified by their learning in the skill so if you have high roguery learning you will level the skill more. I tried messing around with specific values but I never got it to work. instead, the game gives you 100xp into whichever field multiplied by your learning, you will have to have some learning or you won’t get any experience the best way is to just play the game for a short time.

I managed to increase my roguery to 100 without changing other skill levels so it can be useful if you want to change one skill for role-playing purposes, or many.

• campaign.add_skill_xp_to_hero

this command is similar to the previous one in that it gives you 100xp based on your learning but it affects all your skills. This is useful if you want to grow your main hero quickly. keep in mind you will get no experience if you have no learning in a skill and much more experience if you have max learning in a skill, this way your character will grow realistically.

campaign.add_influence #
campaign.add_renown_to_clan #
campaign.add_focus_points_to_hero #

These commands give the relevant amount where # is the amount.

• campaign.reset_player_skills_level_and_perks

this will reset your skills levels and perks it’s handy if you make a mistake using the console.

• campaign.add_companion

This is a surprisingly useful console command if you have a lot of companions and you get captured and can’t get them all back. Each entry will give you a random companion. it is also useful if you want to jump straight into a new game with a bunch of useful companions.

• campaign.add_horse #

This gives you the number of sumpter horses where # is the value. it is useful if you want to speed up your party or carry more goods. it will also give you a boost early game.

• campaign.heal_main_party

This is fairly straightforward it heals your party instantly.

• campaign.set_main_hero_age #

This will change your main hero’s age to a specified age where # is the value. it’s useful if you want to outlive your family members and never die.

• campaign.give_settlement_to_player [SettlementName]

You can take ownership of any castle or town. I think this is a little immersion breaking but some people might find it useful, for example, your leader takes your castle after a really hard fight. you can open the map before opening the console to make sure you type the name correctly.

• campaign.show_hideouts [1/2]

1: show infested hideouts
2: show all hideouts

This will reveal all the current hideouts.

• campaign.add_prisoner #

This will give you an amount of looters as prisoners where # is the value.

• campaign.add_random_prisoner_hero

This will spawn a random hero as a prisoner, I’m not sure if it affects AI heroes.

about 1/3 of these don’t any longer work but there are some shortcuts to in-game cheats, I’ve never tried them but you might be interested in giving them a look.

This is a good source, again it’s out of date. but there’s some good stuff in here.

https://mountandblade.fandom.com/wiki/Bannerlord_IDs_and_entities
This is a resource of all in-game IDs, it might help you find what your looking for.

This last section is from Bannerlords wiki and explains how to look up unique ID’s

Originally posted by author:

Quoted text Note: Most IDs for items, factions, troops, etc are located in .xml files inside the Bannerlord installation folder within \Modules\SandBoxCore\ModuleData\
Troop IDs: spnpccharacters.xml
Tip: Search for the phrase “aserai_recruit” to go to the beginning of the list of common Troop IDs
Cultures and some faction IDs: spcultures.xml
Item IDs: Various .xml files inside the spitems folder
Windows users can install Notepad++ to open XML files.

I realize this guide doesn’t cover all consoles and cheats in the game but I hope it goes someways to helping you find what you are looking for.
