Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Cheats and codes

The Mount & Blade series is loved by fans not only for being great RPGs, but also for being great sandbox games: it can be modified and customized so fans can play it however they want. Bannerlord codes are also a big part of it.

How to activate cheats in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord?

In order to activate the codes and cheats while playing Bannerlord, it is necessary to edit a file first.

• Open the documents folder
• Open Bannerlords folder
• Open configs folder
• Edit engine.config file with notepad
• Find the line cheat_mode=0 and change it to cheat_mode=1
• Save the file.

After changing the engine config.txt file, run Bannerlord and you can use the codes. However, in some situations you need to start a new game to activate it.

How to open the developer console?

Once installed, you can press Ctrl and ~ (tilde) to open the console and start using console commands. Press Ctrl and ~ again to turn it off.

Bannerlord’s console commands are case sensitive, so you have to enter them as they appear or they won’t work. We haven’t tested all the commands, but we’ve listed the ones we’ve tried and the ones we know work. The full list of Mount & Blade: Bannerlord cheats discovered so far is at the bottom of the page.

Item and currency Bannerlord codes

When cheats are enabled, you will see a list of every item in the game on the left side of the screen for you to open your inventory. Click the arrow next to the item you want and it will be moved to your inventory. Click Finish when you have everything you want.

The developer console does not have a hotkey or code to add money to your character. However, you can make money by putting expensive items in your inventory and selling them.

Combat codes

• Ctrl + F4: Destroys an enemy in battle.
• Ctrl + Alt + F4: Destroys the entire enemy army.

Cheat Console and Commands

While Bannerlord does not provide a command console to enter the codes, it does have a developer console that can be activated using mods. You need to download and install the M&B2: Bannerlord Developer Console mod and then enable it in Bannerlord’s launcher window. Also, you need to enable cheats in your config file as we explained above.

Once installed, you can press Ctrl and ~ (tilde) to open the console and start using console commands. Press Ctrl and ~ again to turn it off.

Bannerlord’s console commands are case sensitive, so you have to enter them as they appear or they won’t work. Where you see #, you must add a number. For example, where it says: campaign.add_gold_to_hero #

If you want to give yourself 10,000 gold, you enter: campaign.add_gold_to_hero 10000

Is Bannerlard worth playing in 2023?

Like its predecessor Warband, Bannerlord is a game with detailed strategic action-RPG elements where players lead soldiers into battle and fight alongside them.

Bannerlord also has a very detailed simulation feature. You can manage the economy of multiple cities. Developer TaleWorlds regularly releases updates to fix issues, improve game dynamics and add new content.

Bannerlord is very different from its debut

Compared to its launch, Bannerlord was a completely different and much more advanced production. Bannerlord has moved much further than Warband in terms of aesthetics. However, fans of this series do not buy the games just for their aesthetics. The complex game mechanics is the game’s most important feature, and the series has made significant progress.

Enemy AI and motion capture animations looks more dynamic. The encounter of the armies is as strong as ever.

Problems mostly fixed

Many performance related issues appear to have been resolved. Bannerlord has improved its performance with updates. Great battles now happen much more smoothly.

If you’ve never played the Mount & Blade series before, Bannerlord is a good one to start. In terms of gameplay, it’s by far the most advanced game in the series. For those who enjoy commanding huge armies, this is an interesting game to check out in 2023.

Will Bannerlord run on my computer?

Even though Bannerlord was released three years ago, it still consumes considerable system resources. One of the biggest reasons is that there are too many characters in the wars between the armies. Below you can find the system requirements for the game.

Minimum System Requirement:

• Operating System: Windows 7 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
• Memory: 6GB of RAM
• Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB or AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
• Storage: 60 GB of storage

Recommended System Requirement:

• Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
• Memory: 8GB RAM
• Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 580
• Storage: 60 GB of storage

Is Cheating in Games Bad?

Of course there are many opinions for this. Some see no problem, while others go so far as to consider it a crime. If you ask us, cheating is not very good, even in single player games.

First of all, there is a fee you pay for the game and you deserve it until the end. Since the codes used will shorten the duration of the game, it will also keep the pleasure you will get shorter.

Another point is that hinder the development of the player. The more you cheat, the less strategy skills and dexterity you develop. Cheating just because you can’t beat a creature means that you will have a harder time with the next creature and you will probably get bored and quit the game.

Using codes will not only improve your dexterity. You won’t take your decisions more accurate. That’s why you should think twice before cheating.

If you repeat it many times to get past the point you get stuck at, you will see that you will have the chance to progress much faster in other games.

As your own strategies develop over time and you remove cheats from your life, you will see that you’ll be more successful. For example, if you follow the steps below instead of Mount and Blade II Bannerlord cheats to make quick money, you will see that you can earn money much faster:

• Gather as many friends as you can find in Calradia
• Travel to small hardwood producing villages and buy as much as you can find
• Defeat the bandit parties and stack all the weapons
• Go to a Smithy
• Melt all collected weapons and turn hard wood into charcoal
• Make the longest possible two-handed sword
• Upgrade your own smithing stamina and have your friends use as many weapons as possible
• Buy all these weapons in any town that has enough dinars to pay them
• Rest in town and repeat the process until smithing stamina recovers
