These commands address specific mechanics or bugs unique to the Long War overhaul:
| Command | Effect | | :--- | :--- | | PowerUp | Grants : invincibility, unlimited ammo, and unlimited action points for XCOM units during tactical missions. | | TakeNoDamage | A softer god mode: XCOM units take no damage, but standard action limits and reloading still apply. | | ToggleUnlimitedActions | Toggles unlimited action points on and off for your turn. Note that the enemy also gets the benefit, so use with caution. | | KillAllAliens | Use with extreme caution. Instantly kills every non-XCOM unit on the map, including civilians, VIPs, and mind-controlled allies. This can instantly end a mission. | | KillEnemies | A safer alternative to the above. Kills all enemies except the unit closest to your mouse cursor. | | RestartLevel | Immediately restarts the current tactical mission from the beginning, including the initial squad loadout. | | ToggleFOW | Toggles the Fog of War on or off. Using it will reveal the entire map, but enemy units remain hidden until spotted normally. | | ToggleSquadConcealment | Toggles squad concealment on and off. Using this while already revealed will conceal your units, but enemies will remain alerted. | | SkipAI | Skips the enemy AI's turn; they will remain stationary and not attack. Reinforcements will still take their initial spawning turn, and enemies in Overwatch will still fire. | Note: LWOTC and console command support may vary
