StarCraft 2 Cheat Code List: All 23 Codes & How to Use Them
StarCraft 2 has shipped with a full set of official cheat codes since Wings of Liberty launched, and Blizzard has never removed the feature. Every StarCraft 2 cheat code is entered directly through the in-game chat console during single-player campaign missions, and none of them carry any risk of an account suspension — they were built into the game on purpose. Below is the complete, verified list of all 23 codes, grouped by what they do, along with the exact steps to activate them and the limitations you should know about before using one.
How to Enter Cheat Codes in StarCraft 2
- Load a single-player campaign mission. Cheat codes only work in campaign missions and select custom maps — they do nothing in ranked multiplayer, co-op, or standard melee matches.
- Press Enter to open the in-game chat bar.
- Type the code exactly as written. Capitalization does not matter, but spelling does.
- Press Enter again to submit the code. A short on-screen message confirms activation.
Using any cheat code disables further achievement progress for that mission session. To keep earning achievements, start a new campaign or reload a save from before the code was entered.

Things to Know Before You Start Cheating
- Achievements lock for the whole session. Once any code (other than the Easter egg) is entered, that mission's achievements are disabled until you restart or reload.
- You can stack codes. There's no limit on how many codes you enter in one session, and they don't interfere with each other.
- These are official Blizzard codes, not exploits or third-party hacks — using them carries zero risk of account suspension.
- Story codes only apply to Wings of Liberty. Entering
