Quake 3 Arena Cheat Codes (PC Version)

Warning: Using cheat codes can take away from the challenge and enjoyment of Quake 3 Arena. But, if you're set on it, here's a guide.

Activating Cheats

To activate cheats in Quake 3 Arena, follow these steps:

1. Press the tilde key (`~`) during gameplay to open the console.
2. Type the desired cheat code (without quotes) and press Enter.

**Important:** Entering a cheat code will disable achievements/stats tracking for your current session.

• god off - Disables god mode.
