Single player developer tools (cheats)

To enable the cheats, you need to edit one configuration file. Remember to backup files before editing.

  • In the regular SWAT 4, open the file at SWAT 4\Content\System\SWAT4.ini.
  • In TSS, open the file at SWAT 4\ContentExpansion\System\SWAT4X.ini.
  • Search for the line [Engine.GameEngine]. Locate the first occurrence of EnableDevTools=False under this section. Change the False value to True and save the ini file.
