How to Enable Cheats on Your TF2 Server

When hosting a Team Fortress 2 server, you may want to boost crits or allow players to fly through walls as spectators. You can check out the Official TF2 Wiki for a list of cheats.

Info: Please note that players will be unable to earn achievements on your server if cheats are enabled.

Enable cheats via config

This method allows to keep cheats enabled despite server restarts.

  1. Login to your server’s control panel.
  2. On the left, click Files > Config Files.
  3. Open Team Fortress 2 Server Settings.
  4. Change the Cheats option from 0 to 1 and Save.
  5. Restart your server for the changes to take effect.

Enable cheats via command

  1. Login to your server’s control panel.
  2. On the left, click Console.
  3. Enter the command sv_cheats 1.

Cheats are now enabled on your server. Please note that this method is temporary and will only work until you restart the server.
