These Cheat Codes are taken from the official "Keys.doc"-document, that was shipped together with the DEBUG and BETA versions of the game.

These cheats no longer work in the final release, as they have been fully stripped off the UFO2p.exe and TACP.exe.

Activating cheat mode for X-COM Apocalypse Cityscape

Hold down ALT and type “UFO CHEAT”¹ from the main interface, if you mistype it or it doesn’t work, hold down ALT and press any key other than “U”, then try again. You will get visual confirmation that the cheat mode has been activated on the message bar.

¹ The space bar has to be pressed between UFO and CHEAT: "ALT + U F O SPACEBAR C H E A T".

² These are shown on the citymap overview.

³ The Overspawn will always spawn at the top left corner of the map.

⁴ This includes all craft available for purchase, all X-COM researchable craft, all civilian and police craft as well as one of each UFO and an Overspawn.

Cheat codes only available in the “DEBUG” version (Cityscape)

Key Combination	Effect
ALT + E	Cause Fatal Error
ALT + SPACE	Do “TEST” routine

Activating cheat mode for X-COM Apocalypse Tactical

Hold down ALT and type “TAC CHEAT”¹ if you mistype it or it doesn’t work, hold down ALT and press any key other than “T”, then try again. You will get visual confirmation that the cheat mode has been activated on the message bar.

¹ This makes it so the AI takes over and controls your agents. It will cause the AI to be completely unlocked and use all available tactics. This mode was also used to train the decision matrix of the game over a test of roughly 8000 games.

² Removes the fog of war.

³ Makes all hostile and neutral units visible, regardless of line of sight.

⁴ Disables the draining of Stamina as well as the slowdown of being overburdened.
