Cheat commands - Legends of Dota Redux

Cheat commands grant powerful in-game effects for testing builds, debugging, or playing casually. They are only available after the lobby votes to enable cheat mode.

Enabling cheat mode

Type -enablecheat (or -ec) in chat to start a vote. All players must accept before cheat mode is enabled. Once active, a global announcement confirms the change and the cheat panel becomes visible in the HUD. Single-player mode and lobbies running with sv_cheats enabled on the server also unlock these commands without a vote.

Cheat mode cannot be disabled once enabled. Use it only in casual lobbies where all players agree.

Targeting other players

Most cheat commands apply to your own hero. To apply a cheat to a different player, append #<playerID> anywhere in your message:

-gold 50000 #3

This gives 50,000 gold to the player with ID 3. Use -pid to look up player IDs before doing this.

Notes

All commands are case-insensitive.
Commands in the cheat section only execute when util:isSinglePlayerMode() returns true, when Ingame.voteEnabledCheatMode is true, or (for some commands) when IsInToolsMode() is true.
Some commands behave differently or are disabled entirely when the server has native sv_cheats or tools mode active, to avoid conflicts with Valve’s built-in cheat system.
