Cheat mode
Use one of the following methods to enable the console window.
- Go to Half-Life 2: Episode 2 in your "Games" tab in the Steam window. Right click and go to "Properties". In the Properties window, select "Set launch options". Add "-console" and click "OK".

Binding cheats to keys
- Display the console window and type sv_cheats 1 to enable cheat mode. Then, type bind followed by a space and the key you wish to bind the code to. Finally, type another space followed by the code. For example, enter bind f12 notarget or bind p ai_disable.
- Some codes cannot be bound to a key. To bind them, you must edit your config file. Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Go to your game directory. Open the "hl2" folder, then the "cfg" folder. Open the config_default file in a text editor. This will be used as a template. Using the same structure, enter the bindings in the following example (the last line is the new entry).
bind "PAUSE" "pause" bind "z" "+zoom" bind "g" "phys_swap" bind "F12" "sk_max_crossbow 999"
- To do this, type bind "F12" press [Tab] three times, and add the cheat command in quotes. After doing this, select all the text under "unbindall" and copy it. Save and close the file. Then, go back to the game directory. Open the "ep2" folder then the "cfg" folder. Open the file "config" in a text editor. You can edit this file directly but you must be able to add the symbols where needed. Paste the previously copied text under the already existing text and save the file. Start the game. Display the console window and type sv_cheats 1 to enable cheat mode. Close the console and press your bound key and it should have activated its defined code.
Using cheats and unlocking achievements
- You normally cannot use cheats and unlock achievements. You can use the following key bind commands at the console window to get around this. For God mode, enter the Bind' <key> '"sv_cheats 1; wait; god; wait; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0" console command. For all weapons, enter the Bind' <key> '"sv_cheats 1; wait; impulse 101; wait; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0" console command.
- Start a game, type sv_cheats 1, enable the god and impulse 101code. Use the sk_max code followed by givecurrentammo for lots of ammunition (for example, sk_max_pistol 999). By doing this you do not have to worry about running out. After this is done, save the game and exit the game completely. Restart the game. Load the game you just saved and continue play. You will be a one-man army, invincible and equipped with ammo, and achievements will be unlocked during game play. Note: You may need to enable the givecurrentammo code for each weapon to have the quantity you specified in the sk_max_<weapon> <number> code.

Walkthrough
Hints
Hidden pumpkins
Set the system date to October 31. After you are ambushed by Hunters and Combine at a big house, drive along the road. Near where the supply cache is found you will see an old truck. Go up to it. There will be lots of pumpkins lying on the ground.
See G-man disappear
G-man can be seen in the "Under The Radar" episode, entering the White Forest Inn immediately after the cache in the small cave. Once you get the cache, get in your car and drive into the two dead trees past the guard rail. Use the turbo just when you are between them, then follow the road. You will see him enter the inn and, if your timing is good enough and you do not crash into anything, disappear. This may require several attempts.
Lost reference
Created by jer9carver.
When you enter the White Forest base, you meet a Vortigaunt in a lab coat named Uriah. When you first enter the room where you meet Uriah, there is a gas tank against the back wall. Behind that tank is a small room with a computer that has a sequence of numbers on it. This is a reference to the show Lost that Gabe Newell added due to the fact that he and the creator of Lost were close friends.
Half-Life reference
Just inside the room where you watch the video from Judith, look next to the door to see a caged area with boxes. Destroy or remove the boxes in order to find a cover for a HEV charging station, just like in the original Half-Life. (Screenshot)
