I’ve spent countless hours engrossed in the world of Unturned, a post-apocalyptic survival game developed by the incredibly talented Nelson Sexton, the sole developer, owner, and founder of Smartly Dressed Games. Through my personal experiences, Unturned is basically a mix of DayZ’s survival gameplay with the looks of Roblox, resulting in a quite unique gaming experience. Set on Prince Edward Island (PEI), players are faced with the challenge of surviving alone or teaming up on servers to tackle hordes of zombies. While it’s quite an adventure to navigate the island, the cities, teeming with zombies, safeguard the most valuable loot.

All Console Commands in Unturned
While Unturned offers stressful experiences, it’s the console commands that can truly customize your gameplay. But there’s a catch: many of these commands require cheats to be activated. Not to worry, though. Based on my extensive gameplay and the numerous times I’ve had to fiddle with these settings, I’ll guide you on how to enable these cheats in both single-player and multiplayer scenarios.
But remember, it’s essential to know that if you’re on a multiplayer server and you’re not the host, you won’t have the power to alter these settings. It’s all in the hands of the server host.

How to Enable Cheats in Unturned
The journey to unleashing the full potential of Unturned lies in console commands and cheats. The process slightly differs depending on your mode of play: single-player or server. Having spent countless hours navigating the realms of this game, I’ve got the know-how to walk you through each step.
Single Player
When diving into the single-player world of Unturned, enabling cheats is pretty straightforward:
- Launch the Single Player mode.
- Navigate to Advanced.
- Locate and check the Allow Cheatcodes option.
- Proceed to Play Offline.
It’s as simple as that. Once enabled, you’ll have access to an array of console commands to customize your gameplay experience.
Unturned Server
If you’re delving into the Unturned multiplayer environment, the power to enable cheats primarily rests with the server host. Here’s how it’s done:
- Locate and open the
Commands.datfile within the Unturned directory. - Add the word
cheatson a fresh line. - Save the modifications to the file.
For ease, you can find the Commands.dat file in this directory:
Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Unturned\Servers folder
Remember, always approach cheats with caution, especially in multiplayer settings. It’s essential to maintain the game’s integrity and ensure a fair play environment for all.
