Cheat Codes, what can one say about them? Hardcore gamers frown upon them, game developers inculcated them in their products to make playing easier for their audience and they are a boon for newbie players. However you put it Cheat Codes are an essential part of a game and Starcraft II is no different! In this StarCraft II cheat guide I will endeavor to jot down every cheat code currently present and techniques to unlocking secret content within the game. So without further adieu let’s begin our cheat guide:
Cheat Code Mode Activation:
During game play press the enter key, this will bring up a console window. Choose your desired cheat code from the list given below type it in the console and press enter again. Cheat will be instantly activated and a message displayed telling that you have succeeded in activating the cheat. All cheat codes are to be entered exactly as shown and are applicable for all races present in the game.
GOD MODE
Description: As evident from the name GOD mode renders your troops and base invulnerable to any and every kind of damage. If you ask me this is a last resort to win a particularly difficult standoff and generally sucks the fun out of the game but anyways here’s how to use it:
| GOD MODE | terribleterribledamage |
TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE
Description: Instantly upgrades all your technology, a quick way to bypass climbing up the tech tree and avoiding the ritualistic process of gathering resources and constructing structures which are interlinked for tech tree advancement.
| TECHNOLOGY UPGRAD | medieval man |
5 MILLION CREDITS (single player campaign)
Description: Reminds me of the last role played by late Heath Ledger. A cynical, homicidal, always with a smile plastered to his face, the insane criminal master mind JOKER! These words were made famous by him. Endows the player with 5 million credits! This cheat is only available for single player campaign mode. Come on you thought this would applicable to multiplayer mode as well? No such luck amigo!

FREE UNIT UPGRADES
Description: Upgrades all units from current status to their most advance forms. For example you have a battle cruiser without any upgrades, coding in this cheat would upgrade it with Yamato canon and let it pack a whooping additional 300 damage. Bypasses the need to wait and horde on resources and build structures which would otherwise be required.
| FREE UNIT UPGRADES | something for nothing |
UNITS COST REMOVED
Description: I guess this cheat is somewhat similar to the previous one as it obliterates the need to spend resources for troop production. Your accumulated resources cache will remain intact after this cheat has been activated and you can produce as many troops as possible.
| UNIT COST REMOVED | moredotsmoredots |
5000 GAS
Description: While playing starcraft II every player comes across a stage when they are chocked for resources specially gas. Gas is as necessary for the Terrans as it is for the Protoss, and for those frustrating moments when all gas geysers have been utilized this cheat comes in handy. The cheat has innuendo embedded if you ask me
| 5000 GAS | realmendrilldeep |
5000 MINERALS
Description: I mean why not? When you have a cheat code which will endow you with instant gas there should be and is a cheat code that will do the same when you are in need of minerals.

INSTANT SURRENDER
Description: lets face it we have all come across a time when we simply wish to quit the game and start a new one, most players are unaware of this but there is a better alternative then going to the main menu for this.
| INSTANT SURRENDER | game over man |
INSTANT VICTORY
Description: The logic behind this one is the same as its predecessor but with a slight difference, this cheat code when keyed in instantly wins the game for you. Handy cheat code of Starcraft II when you want to progress on towards next stage while keeping your winning streak intact.
| INSTANT VICTORY | there is no cow level |
CINEMATICS MODE
Description: Gamers all over are fond of in game cinematic scenes and Starcraft II is virtually riddled with them. For those who get impatient and don’t want to go through the entire game to see the cinematic scenes luckily there is a cheat code for it which sounds suspiciously like a character’s name right out of J.R Tolkein’s epic fantasy saga lord of the rings. Guess starcraft II cheat guide needed that reference.
| CINEMATCIS MODE | Eyeofsauron |
JUMP TO LEVEL OF YOUR CHOICE
Description: This cheat code enables the player to select level of their own choice instead of playing through the whole game sequentially.
| SELECT LEVEL | ophelia |
EXTRA RESEARCH POINTS
Description: Research points are really pesky commodities when you are in a hurry to climb up the tech tree and get to heavy weaponry. This cheat code when activated endows extra research points enabling the player to bring in the heavy guns and technology upgrades.

DISABLING FOG OF WAR
Description: When a game starts in Starcraft II, the map of the area is initially blacked out which hides the location of player’s bases and other landmarks on the map. As units roam about the blacked out area recedes revealing the map and its contents. The blacked out map is said to be under fog of war, here’s how to get rid of this condition prematurely.
| DISABLE FOG OF WAR | Sawnoutofmemory |
CRIPPLING THE ABILITY COOL DOWN FEATURE
Description: Many units in Starcraft II have certain specific abilities which when used remain unavailable for a certain period of time. This period is called ability cool down feature. Find below the cheat code for disabling this feature allowing the ability to be used over and over again without delay.
