Fallout New Vegas: All Console Commands

There are several console commands that you can use while playing Fallout New Vegas, and we've listed out every single one.

Fallout New Vegas has a command console that can be accessed with the backquote/tilde key (the `/~ key), triggering a command input menu on your screen. You can input many commands to make in-game changes, such as increasing stats or changing faction reputations.

It should be noted that working with the console commands, while fun, can disrupt the gaming experience or cause unintentional events to occur. Be careful while using them.

#1. addreputation <form id> <variable> <amount>: This command lets you add reputation to a faction/town. The variable can be a 0 (for adding infamy) or a 1 (for adding fame). The amount is a number from 1-100, depending on how much fame/infamy you want to add.

#2. removereputation <form id> <variable> <amount>: This command lets you remove reputation from a faction/town. The variable can be a 0 (for removing infamy) or a 1 (for removing fame). The amount is a number from 1-100, depending on how much fame/infamy you want to remove.

This table represents the factions that come from DLCs. Note that the first two numbers will be labeled with “xx”, as “xx” will depend on the number of DLCs you have downloaded (for example, only having Dead Money will mean “xx” is 01, but having all 9 DLCs up to Caravan Pack will have “xx” become 09). You can tell which one you have when opening the command console and see the reference ID.

DLC Factions
NameID
Bonebreakers xx01172E
Dead Horses xx00A926
Happy Trails Caravan xx009F66
Painmakers xx01172F
Sorrows xx00A925
Tribals xx00F675
White Legs xx00A4A2
Mobius xx00AC6B
Think Tank xx00A936
Marked men xx008D74
Ulysses xx003E42

#4. removefromallfactions: Removes the Courier from all factions, including their own Player faction. You can use the player.AddToFaction 0001b2a4 1 console command to fix it. For DLC player factions, you will need to use the following IDs:

  • xx00B42E for Honest Hearts
  • xx016154 for Old World Blues
  • xx003E41 for Lonesome Road

For example, adding yourself back to Honest Hearts can look like player.AddToFaction 0900B42E 1 (remember that “xx” will always be whatever number is listed in your reference ID when opening the Command Console.)

#5. setally <form id 1> <form id 2> <variable_1> <variable_2>: This allows you to form positive relationships between factions. The variables are 0 for friend and 1 for ally. The different variables control how the other faction sees each other. The first variable controls how the first faction sees the second, and the second variable controls how the second faction sees the first.

For example, setally <000FED3F> <00101F42> <0> <1> will cause the Boomers to see the Powder Gangers as friends, while the Powder Gangers will see the Boomers as allies.

#6. setenemy <form id 1> <form id 2> <variable_1> <variable_2>: This allows you to form negative relationships between factions. The variables are 0 for the enemy and 1 for the neutral. The different variables control how the other faction sees each other. The first variable controls how the first faction sees the second, and the second variable controls how the second faction sees the first.

Using the above example, setenemy <000FED3F> <00101F42> <0> <1> will cause the Boomers to see the Powder Gangers as enemies, while the Powder Gangers will see the Boomers as a neutral faction.
