Squad has been enjoying a bit of a resurgence lately, thanks to its developer’s commitment to regular updates. But if you’d rather dispense with the tactical gameplay and take advantage of the in-game console, there’s a laundry list of fun and completely broken commands to use.
While some are good for server maintenance, others are just fun for causing the maximum amount of chaos possible. Here’s every single one of those console commands (as of right now, that is).
Every console command in Squad
Console commands in Squad can essentially be broken down into two categories: Admin and Public commands. The former, as you can probably imagine, are powerful enough to be limited to admins of a particular server, so you’ll want to make your own server or get admin permissions in a pre-existing one before using these. To use any of these commands, just open up the console by pressing the tilde key and get to typing.
