Cheating is fun! But only in single-player games for messing around, and that's why cheat codes have been a staple in gaming for decades.
They usually come in a form of codes that give players various advantages, like extra resources or unlocking "God" mode where you become invulnerable.
When it comes to The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, there's a whole lot of fun things you can do with these cheats via the in-game console. While there are many hilarious things you can do, such as becoming a giant, unlocking flying or walking through walls, in this article we will focus on the item codes, which will instantly grant you almost any possible weapon or armour item that exists in the game.
If you've decided that now is a perfect time for another playthrough with the recent release of Skyrim Anniversary Edition, why not spice things a bit and treat yourself with some powerful items right from the get-go.
How to get free items in Skyrim with codes
Adding free items into your Skyrim inventory is as easy as 1-2-3. All you need to do is to follow these few steps:
- Open the in-game console by pressing the tilde (~) key
- Type "player.additem" (without quotation marks)
- Press "Space" and type the number (code) for the item you wish
- Enter the number of how many units of that item you want
- Hit "Enter"
And that's it, now you should see the X amount of the item in your inventory, it's that simple. Unfortunately, this is only possible on PC, as console commands are not available on consoles.
Now you are probably wondering how you should know which codes are for which items. Worry not, as we've got you covered there as well!
Daedric Artifacts codes
Daedric Artifacts are some of the most powerful items in The Elder Scrolls 5 and are given as rewards for completing questlines for the Daedric princes you will stumble upon across your journey through Skyrim.
Why go through the trouble of doing hard work for the pretentious princes when you can just type in these codes and enjoy Daedric Artifacts for free.
