Quake 4 Cheat Codes (PC Version)
Warning: Using cheat codes can take away from the challenge and enjoyment of Quake 4. But, if you're set on it, here's a guide.

- Press the combination of Ctrl, Alt, and the tilde key (`~`) during gameplay to open the console.
- Type the desired cheat code (without quotes) and press Enter.
**Important:** Entering a cheat code will disable achievements/trophies for your current save file.
