Because LWOTC campaigns often take 100+ hours, you want to fix problems, not create new ones. Here is the "ethical cheater's code" for console commands:
| Class | Console Name |
|-------|---------------|
| Shinobi | Shinobi |
| Ranger | Ranger |
| Gunner | Gunner |
| Grenadier | Grenadier |
| Technical | Technical |
| Specialist | Specialist |
| Assault | Assault |
| Sharpshooter | Sharpshooter |
| Psi Operative (vanilla) | Psionic |
| Hero classes: Skirmisher, Reaper, Templar | Skirmisher, Reaper, Templar |
Example:
GiveSoldier sharpshooter "Deadshot"

| Command | Effect |
| :--- | :--- |
| GiveResource Supplies X | Adds X supplies (e.g., GiveResource Supplies 500). |
| GiveResource Alloys X | Adds X alloys. |
| GiveResource Crystals X | Adds X elerium crystals. |
| GiveResource Intel X | Adds X intel (used for contacting regions, etc.). |
| GiveResource AbilityPoints X | Adds X ability points (shared pool for all soldiers). |
| GiveResource SoldierXp X | Adds X experience points to selected soldier. |
| GiveResource Rookies X | Adds X rookie soldiers to your barracks. |
| GiveResource Staff X | Adds X engineer/scientist staff (type unclear—use with caution). |
Better alternative for LWotC: Use GiveResource only for small amounts (e.g., 50 supplies) to fix UI bugs.
