Cheats

Cheats are a series of type codes that can be used in both Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past and Plazma Burst 2 to give the player advantages in the Campaign or special perks. Cheats are a way of usually making the game easier or just a different way to experience the game.

Plazma Burst 2
To use the cheats in Plazma Burst 2, you must have finished the campaign (Including the bonus Level 42) and have root capability. After this, you can use cheats by simply pressing Enter in-game and typing a cheat, then pressing Enter again to activate it.

Root capability
In order to gain root capability, you must change your character's name to "root" or ".:Eric Gurt:.". To do that, refresh the page (or, in case you are playing the game offline, re-open the game). After the game has loaded, click "Continue", then rename the character and click "Accept".

Cheats list

 * Bot 0 = disables AI control over your character, and its side effects.
 * Bot 1 = enables AI control over your character. Note that this will disallow you to shoot manually and use the Kinetic Module. Everything else remains normal.
 * Debug = same as 'debug 1'.
 * Debug 0 = deactivates debug mode.
 * Debug 1 = activates debug mode, highlighting hitboxes which include characters, weapons and barrels for example.
 * Dm = short for 'death match', every character fights each other regardless of being allies or enemies.


 * Friends = enemies no longer attack you, becoming allies. On levels where tab is allowed to switch between allies, this allows you to switch to an enemy and see their health.
 * Give all = gives all weapons from Marine's Equipment Shop, all upgraded to level 3. This even includes grandes and the Defibrillator, the latter normally not being upgraded.


 * Give gun_rl0 = gives N.A.R.L. gun.
 * Give (ID) = gives player a fully upgraded version of the requested weapon. Their ID can be found at bottom left in Advanced Level Editor when changing a weapon's model.
 * Gm = health regeneration speed is "frozen" at the lowest rate for all characters on the map, when it normally increases whilst regenerating. To undo, type the cheat again.
 * God = same as 'God 1'.
 * God 0 = multiplies your health by 0.00001. Using this several times increases the effect.
 * God 1 = multiplies your health by 100.000. Using this several times increases the effect.
 * Grow = increases player scale, hitpoints and zooms out. Can be used repeatedly.
 * Grow enemies = same as 'grow', but for all characters including allies and dead bodies.
 * Headshot = removes your head without dying. Same effect if you pause the game, type "kill" then "god" and unpause. Do not use it when strict casual mode is enabled. Once you take any damage, head reappears with its "layering" set behind your character's body.
 * Hyper jump = player does a very high jump once.
 * Kill = explodes your head, killing you. If the game is paused, you will not be killed until unpausing. In Multiplayer, say -kill.
 * Kill enemies = kill enemies without destroying their body, setting their current health to 0. Useful to steal enemy vehicles.
 * No barrels = unspawns all barrels from the level.


 * No guns = unspawns all weapons from the level, including your own. PSI blades remain.
 * No lamps = lamps will still shine but won't break.
 * No lights = same as 'no lamps'.
 * No players = unspawn all characters, allies or enemies besides the player.
 * No vehicles = unspawns vehicles from the level. If used while in one, the player will be able to shoot the vehicle's gun, but eventually will fall through the map till he reaches the void and die.


 * Quick start = sets your money to $999,999.
 * Render 0 = deactivates game rendering, leading to a black screen, although the game is still on-going. Can be combined with 'debug 1' for more fun.
 * Render 1 = reactivates game rendering.
 * Shrink = decreases player scale, hitpoints and zooms in.
 * Shrink enemies = same as 'shrink', but for all characters including allies and dead bodies.
 * Skin (ID) = changes player skin to specified ID, which can be seen in the bottom left of Advanced Level Editor's character's model.
 * Skin enemies (ID) = same as 'skin (0-150)' but for all characters including allies and dead bodies.
 * Very slow = 0.25x game speed.
 * Slower = 0.5x game speed.
 * Slow = 0.75x game speed.
 * Normal = default game speed.
 * Fast = 1.25x game speed.
 * Faster = 1.5x game speed.
 * Very fast = 2x game speed.
 * Extra fast = 3x game speed.
 * Uber fast = 4x game speed.
 * Over fast = 5x game speed.
 * Zoom 25 = camera is heavily zoomed out.
 * Zoom 50 = camera is zoomed out to the same extent as the Hound Walker's view range.
 * Zoom 100 = camera is at the default zoom.
 * Zoom 200 = camera is zoomed into your character.

Warning message


Some cheats trigger the warning message that tells you to clear your saved data to get chance to unlock more achievements. If you have triggered it once, it will show up after every phrase you type in the console, and also at the start of any campaign level and custom map.

To get rid of it, you have to remove your saved game data by going to options and pressing the "clear all saved data" button.

Other notes

 * "bot 1", "bot 0", "render 1", "render 0" and "kill" cheats can work without the root capability as well.
 * "bot 1", "gm" and "debug"/"debug 1" cheats will transfer between levels if not disabled manually.
 * If you lower your health via single "god 0" (e. g. from 500 to 1) and then use "god"/"god 1", it'll revert your health to normal instead of multiplying it.

Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past
