    dota 2 cheat codes commands

    Dota 2 Cheat Codes & Commands only work in Practice Mode. That is when you are playing against bots. It is a good way to learn game mechanics and try out different items, heroes, etc. As the practice matches are filled with bots, using cheats can help you choose the best settings without any hurdles. When you know what’s best for you, it can help optimize your core gameplay. But since using any third-party mods can get you banned from the game, we have compiled a list of all the Valve-approved cheats. In the below list, find all cheats for gameplay, basic items, neutral items, upgraded items, and summoning heroes.

    Cheat Codes are off by default. In this guide, you can find steps on how to turn on or enable cheat codes in Dota 2. Then you can learn about different Dota 2 Commands and what they do.

    All Dota 2 Cheat Codes & Console Commands List

    Dota 2 Console

    You can enable the Dota 2 Cheat codes or commands via the chat commands in the Lobby settings. For that, the player hosting the practice game should first enable the cheats using the sv_cheats1 command via the console.

    • Use the CTRL + F shortcut button to search for your required cheat code or console command.
