  2. Weapon mod console codes...

    Ctrl + Alt + ~ for console,

    These are Weapon Mods for the weapons that you get as you progress in the game. A marine tech thoughout the game will give you these but if you want to get them now, you can. The only catch is... You need to weapon to use the mod. No problem there cause you can spawn the weapon as well or use "give all".

    Note: Like mentioned above you need the weapon first to use the mod. Spawning these icon mods does not automaticly give you the weapon with the mod. It only gives you the mod itself which is useless with out the weapon.

    All have been tested and work perfectly. All 3 nailgun mods seem to be the same, From what Ive seen they all do the same effect.

    CheatEffect
    spawn weaponmod_railgun_penetrateMuch more damaging railgun
    spawn weaponmod_hyperblaster_bounce1Allows shots to bounce off of walls
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_roffirepower mod Increses firerate and amount
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_ammofirepower mod Increses firerate and amount
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_powerfirepower mod Increses firerate and amount
    spawn weaponmod_nailgun_seekHoming nails with scope
    spawn weaponmod_shotgun_ammoReloads using clips, instead of 1 shell at a time
    spawn weaponmod_machinegun_ammoextended clip to 80
    spawn weaponmod_lightninggun_chainAllows lightning to jump between nearby enemies
    spawn weaponmod_rocketlauncher_burstFire up to 3 rockets in rapid succession
    spawn weaponmod_rocketlauncher_homingAdds guided missile functionality (Right-click)
  3. Spawn enemies or good guys!

    Press "Ctrl, Alt and ~" to bring up the console and type in the following and then press "Enter" when done to spawn one of the following. Each one mess be entered seperatley. There is a bigger list but these are the only ones that work!

    If you don't want to ruin the game and see some of the future enemies in game then don't use these or even read this list! If I have a "unknown enemy" listed that means I just don't know what it is called.
