Cheat mode (configuration file):
--------------------------------
Use a text editor to edit the indicated file in the directory:
"Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Config".
Edit the listed parameter in that file as desired.

Heroes:
-------
Customize a soldier and change his name to one of the following entries to
unlock the corresponding character.
Note: This will prevent achievements or trophies from being earned.
Hero Name
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sid Meier (Psi Operative Magnus) - Sid Meier
Peter Van Hoorn (Assault Build Ranger Colonel) - Peter Van Hoorn
Beaglerush (Grenadier) - Beaglerush (nickname)
Advance with Caution:
---------------------
When you come out of concealment, do it carefully. Running ahead is risky,
since you could trigger an enemy encounter halfway through a turn, when
you're not prepared. Keep a single character at the front of the group (the
Ranger works best), and let the others tag behind by at least a square or
two. Why take unnecessary risks when it's so easy to play things safe?
The Advanced Warfare Chamber Is Terrific:
-----------------------------------------
Are you having trouble deciding what facility to go for next? Make it the
Advanced Warfare Chamber, which has a whole host of benefits. It nearly
halves the time you'll have to wait for soldiers to heal, for starters,
and there's also the chance it will grant them additional skills when they
level up (from other character classes). That can work out in a number of
ways, and there's a really good chance it will work in your favor. Try to
get that facility early in your campaign to maximize its impact.
Claim Continents:
-----------------
If you can gain access to every region within a continent and then build
a sufficient number of radio beacons (represented by small dots next to
the map bonus), you'll gain a random bonus. The exact bonus changes from
one play session to another, but you should always find it beneficial and
worth pursuing.
Scientists, Engineers, and Intel Are Your Friends:
--------------------------------------------------
When you can choose between the rewards you receive, make sure you always
go for Scientists, Engineers, or Intel. The first two options let you
upgrade your troops and base more quickly, while Intel is useful for a
variety of important reasons (including the links you need to establish
with new regions).
Avatar Project Delays:
----------------------
Once the Avatar project is completed, you'll be in a world of hurt if
you're not prepared. However, you can delay things quite a bit. As the
bar reaches its halfway point, complete Alien Facility missions to drop
it by at least two points. Guerrilla Ops assign
the file before proceeding. Add the "-allowconsole" command line parameter
to end of the "Target" field in the "Shortcut" properties that are used to
launch the game. In the Steam version, right click XCOM 2 in your Steam
Library, then select the "Properties" option in the "General" tab. Select
the "Set Launch Options" button, and enter "-allowconsole" in the text
field. While playing the game, press ~ to display the console window.
