Below, we go over how to access the in-game dev console to activate the cheats available in Bannerlord itself. We then look at a mod that lets you access even more cheats — lots more. 

Mount and Blade 2 Cheats — How to Activate Them

Activate the Developer Console

This first method allows you to activate a few basic cheats without too much work. All you need to do to activate the cheats is:

Go to “Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs” folder Find and open “engine_config. txt” file Search for “cheat_mode = 0” line Change it to “cheat_mode = 1” Save and close the file

This will activate the following cheats:

Ctrl+H: Restores full health. Ctrl+Shift+H: Restores full health of your horse. Ctrl+F4: Renders enemy unconscious. Ctrl+Shift+F4: Renders all enemies unconscious. Ctrl+F2: Knocks out one of your own soldiers. Ctrl+F3: Knocks out the player. Ctrl+Shift+F3: Renders your horse unconscious.

Note: These cheats will only work in the new campaign.
