Doom Cheats

How to use these cheats

Follow the instructions exactly as written — key names like [Ctrl] and [Enter] refer to keyboard keys. Cheats may disable achievements; save first.

Cheat Codes: Enter one of the following codes during game play to activate the corresponding cheat:

CHEAT FUNCTION – CHEAT CODE Invincibility – iddqd All weapons, keys, ammo, and 200% armor – idkfa Berserker strength – idbeholds Temporary invincibility – idbeholdv Temporary invisibility – idbeholdi Full automap – idbeholda Anti-radiation suit – idbeholdr Light amplification visor – idbeholdl Walk through walls – idspispopd or idclip Chainsaw – idchoppers Level select – idclev

Toggle full map; full map and objects; normal map – iddt Display coordinates and heading – idmypos Change music to indicated level – idmus

Cheat Codes (command line): Start the game with the doom -devparm command line to activate the corresponding cheat function. Note: The parameters marked with an asterisk (*) do not require -devparm in the command line. Most of these parameters can be mixed and matched to create different effects. For example, start the game with the doom -devparm -wart 1 8 -record demo01 -respawn command line would record a demo on episode one, level eight, with monster respawn. Finally, press [F1] during development mode for a 256 color screenshot in .PCX format.
