Valheim: Admin Commands – How to Use Cheats and Build for Free

Valheim Cheat Commands

In Valheim, you can spawn weapons, armor, items, and even enemies as an admin. How it works and what commands are available, you can find out in the MeinMMO guide.

The console is a powerful tool in the survival game Valheim. In singleplayer, you can make survival much more comfortable with console commands. Besides spawning items and enemies, you can change the time of day, skip time, and take stunning screenshots in free-fly mode.

You should keep in mind: The cheats for Valheim only work in your own world. Once you join a friend’s game or a dedicated server, cheat mode is disabled. These are actually admin commands built in for developers to test, and they are commonly found in survival games. They are not cheats or programs like you might know from shooters.

Which admin commands work in co-op are also covered in this guide.
