Weapon Cheats Guide!

Overview

This guide will surprise you of how many weapons there are in Portal! You will need to know how to open up the developer console to do this. You can find a key to bind to console in the option on the keyboard category.

Crowbar

give weapon_crowbar

Gravity Gun

give weapon_physcannon

Portal Gun

give weapon_portalgun

If you want the portal gun to be upgraded, just type:

upgrade_portalgun

9mm Pistol

give weapon_pistol

.357 Magnum

give weapon_357

Alyx Gun

give weapon_alyxgun

SMG

give weapon_smg1

Pulse Rifle

give weapon_ar2

Shotgun

give weapon_shotgun

Crossbow

give weapon_crossbow

Grenade

give weapon_frag

RPG

give weapon_rpg

Hopwire

give weapon_hopwire

To be able to activate the hopwire grenade properly, you need to write down this too:

hopwire_vortex 1

This allows the grenade to create a mini black hole. Can crash the game if you stand at point blank range, next to it as you activate it! Otherwise, standing slightly near it will kill you. The rollermine you see on the picture is the actual black hole grenade when thrown.

Bugbait

give weapon_bugbait

Annabelle (Rifle)

give weapon_annabelle

Suitcase

give weapon_citizensuitcase

Package

give weapon_citizenpackage

Cubemap

give weapon_cubemap

Extra Weapons

⚠ These weapons cannot be equipped as a weapon in Portal, by the player. ⚠

give weapon_stunstick

give weapon_striderbuster

give weapon_oldmanharpoon

The harpoon is not really in Portal. Half Life 2: Lost Coast only!

Guns attached to Vehicles

You need to write two commands. One to spawn the vehicle and another to attach the gun.

To spawn the airboat, enter this in the console:

ch_createairboat
Now, we only need to unlock the gun, so type this down:

ent_fire airboat enablegun 1

Now you can go full rambo, because that gun is a lmg. Just don’t overheat it.

For the jeep, you will need to enter this down:

ch_createjeep
When you have done that, type in:

ent_fire jeep enableradar; ent_fire jeep enablegun 1

What happens is that you unlock the Gauss Cannon attachment for the jeep.

Do not enter the “ch_createjalopy” command because it will crash the game instantly. The vehicle is supposed to be the yellow drivable car from Half-Life 2 Episode 2, however because of how unfinished and broken it was at the time, it is not usable unfortunately.

Impulse 101 (Unlock all normal weapons)

impulse 101

This gives you:

Ammunition for the weapons
item_suit
weapon_crowbar
weapon_physcannon
weapon_portalgun (Upgraded)
weapon_pistol
weapon_357
weapon_smg1
weapon_ar2
weapon_shotgun
weapon_crossbow
weapon_frag
weapon_rpg
weapon_bugbait

This is a demonstration video:

Ammo

Before you spawn the ammo, aim at the ground where you want to spawn the ammo. You can use “give” instead of “ent_create” so you get the ammo instantly. For receiving ammo supply exclusive to the current weapon, use “givecurrentammo” alone instead.

ent_create item_ammo_pistol ent_create item_ammo_357 ent_create item_ammo_smg1 ent_create item_ammo_smg1_grenade ent_create item_ammo_ar2 ent_create item_ammo_ar2_altfire ent_create item_box_buckshot ent_create item_ammo_crossbow ent_create weapon_frag ent_create item_rpg_round ent_create weapon_hopwire ent_create item_box_sniper_rounds ent_create item_box_flare_rounds

There is no flare gun or sniper rifle in this game, but the developers left the rounds in Half Life 2 and Portal anyway! Even tho the npc_sniper exists, it doesn’t use a sniper rifle. You can pick up sniper rounds, but not the flare rounds. If you try, you will get an error in the console, I quote:

“ERROR: Attempting to give unknown ammo type (FlareRound).”

In Conclusion

There are 20 weapons in the game, excluding the guns attached to the vehicles because of how restricted those are. 18 of them are weapons the player can pick up. Six of those weapons are weapons from Half-Life 2 that wasn’t supposed to be used by the player in the first place but can be equipped.
