In Fallout 4, there are over 2,500 unique items: this guide will show you use the additem command to spawn in each and every one of them.
In order to use commands, you'll need to know how to open and use the console in Fallout 4. It's quite simple: just press either ` (grave) or ~ (tilde) on your keyboard to open it up, type in a command, and then hit ENTER to send it. If you are struggling to open or use the console, check out our console help page.

To get this command to add your desired item, you'll first need to replace [Item Code] with the item code of the item you wish to spawn. You can find all item codes on our Fallout 4 item ID list page. For the first two examples in this tutorial we'll be using the item code for adhesive, which is is 001bf72e.
After finding the item code of the item you want to spawn, all you need to do is replace [Amount] with the amount you wish to spawn. If you wanted to spawn 1 of the item, you'd put 1 there.
This command would spawn one adhesive:
If you changed the 1 in the above command to 78, you'd be given 78 adhesive and the console command would look like this:
In case you haven't quite got it yet, the item code for 5.56mm ammo is 0001f278. You could spawn 20 5.56mm with this cheat:
Remember, Fallout Cheats has a list of all item codes with an awesome search feature that makes finding item IDs easy! If you want to find out more commands to use in Fallout 4, check out our console command list.
