Submitted by: David K.
PC Console Commands Guide:
--------------------------
Navigate to the Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel installation and open the "Config" folder.
It should be somewhere like this:
C: ProgramFiles(x86) Steam SteamApps Common BorderlandsPreSequel WillowGame Config
In the "Config" folder, open the "DefaultInput.ini" with a text editor like Notepad. Search for
the line "[Engine.Console] and copy+paste the following under so it looks like this:
[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Tilde
TypeKey=Backslash
ManualAutoCompleteList=(Command="Stat UNITAVG",Desc="Stat UNITAVG (Shows average hardware
unit framerate)")
Now when you start the game, press tilde [`] to bring down the console window.
Restart the Steam client if it doesn't seem to be working.
Console Commands List
FOV [Input NUMBER]
Gives full control over FOV adjustments, beyond the range allowed in the regular Video Options
menu selection. May cause performance or graphical issues.
Replace [Input Number] with 1 through 180.
SetRes [NUMBERxNUMBER]
Sets a custom resolution outside the options available in the Video Options menu.
A standard setting would be "setres 1280×960? but any number can be used.
Code Effect
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ToggleHUD - Turns the HUD elements on or off. Can be used for taking better screenshots
with the console screenshot feature.
Stat FPS - Makes an FPS counter appear in the corner of the scree.
Good for testing performance.
Gamma [Input NUMBER] - Like "FOV" above, gives full control over Gamma adjustment.
Shot / Screenshot - Takes a screenshot instantly.
FOV [1 to 180] - Set field of view
Exit / Quit - Instantly exit the game client. Both of these commands do the same thing.

Easy XP:
--------
During the "A New Direction" story mission early in the game, you can farm easy XP from
the final Boss "RedBelly" by quickly saving and quitting at the right time. RedBelly has
two phases during the battle; the second phase begins when his helmet comes off. Once
this happens, make sure not to kill the helmet. Focus only on RedBelly. The easiest way
to kill RedBelly is to get him to chase you back to the venting machines. RedBelly will
not leave his area -- so he will not enter the room. You can then shoot him from a safe
distance. Once Belly is defeated, Jack will say "Who the hell were those weirdos?
Oh whatever, I'm friggin' over it -- just turn off the signal!" When he finishes saying
that, pause the game, and select the "Save and Quit" option. Once you are back at the
main menu, select "Continue", run back to RedBelly, and kill him again. To save some time,
you can jump over the garage by jumping on the lamppost, then jumping on the garage.
When you are on the garage, jump on the sign, then leap over the wall, and proceed to
RedBelly's location. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Use this trick to
quickly reach Level 14. Note: If you do not select "Save & Quit" at the right time, the
mission will proceed, and you will not be able to farm RedBelly again until later in
the game.
Godzilla reference:
-------------------
You can fight a hidden level 30 Kraggon Boss named "Iwajira", that resembles Godzilla,
has a similar radioactive beam attack, and is named closely to her original Japanese
name, "Gojira". From Janey's Workshop at Serenity's Waste, run forward and use the
U-turn to your right. Jump to the rocks on the left of the tall building up the hill.
Use them to jump on the edge of the building. Follow the curved ledge to reach a
narrow platform above some magma. Jet jump from high ledge across the streaming lava
and land on the small platform on the other side. Enter the cave behind the streaming
lava and continue deep inside until you find a hole. Drop into the cavern to enter
the "Pyroclast Grotto" and encounter Iwajira.
How to Find the Se7en Easter Egg:
---------------------------------
* Teleport to the Titan Industrial Facility entrance and run to the office where
the player meets Gladstone.
* Once inside, run over to a computer terminal near the covered windows in the
same room. There's a lockbox on the terminal.
* Crack the box open! What's inside? It's Gwen's Head! This time she's got a space
helmet on. It is the moon after all.
* Opening the box rewards you with a unique pistol called "Smooth Gwen's Other
Head" - it fires two shots at once.
Easy experience:
----------------
* Play the "Let's Build a Robot Army" mission and progress to the point where you have to
allow Turrets kill Scavs. Make sure you are carrying a lot of ammunition. Kill steal the
Scavs from the Turrets to gain experience points. The Turrets will get an occasional kill,
and the mission will end after twelve of them. To prevent this from happening, pause game
play when the Turrets get about ten kills. Select the "Save And Quit" option, then resume
from the saved game. The Turret kill count will have reset, allowing you to continue kill
stealing.
* You can repeatedly farm the RedBelly Boss fight for experience. Start the "A New Direction"
mission and progress until facing RedBelly. Kite him to the vending machines. He cannot
leave this area, allowing you to easily take him out at a distance. This battle has two
parts. The second one starts when RedBelly loses his helmet. When this happens, target
RedBelly instead of the helmet. After killing him, Jack will ask "Who the hell were those
weirdos?". Pause game play when he is done with that sentence, then select "Save And Quit".
After returning to the main menu, resume from the saved game. If you saved the game at the
correct moment, you can repeatedly farm RedBelly for experience.
* Play the "Guardian Hunter" mission bestowed by Sterwin near Vorago Solitude. You are
tasked with capturing a living Guardian. Make sure you have a lot of ammunition. The
Guardians will keep respawning, allowing you to repeatedly kill them for over 500
experience points per kill.
Outlands Spur: Neil Parsec:
---------------------------
Return to Triton Falls after the "No Such Things as a Free Lunch" mission. Move towards
the Fast Travel point then continue to the Darksiders' tower. Get to the top of the tower,
then go to the balcony located on the south side to find Neil Parsec ready to jump.
Research & Development: Benjamin Blue:
--------------------------------------
Enter the research room on the lower left side of Research &Development. Free the creature
named Benjamin Blue from its cage to get a reward.
Veins of Helios: Spawn special creatures:
-----------------------------------------
Complete the "Don't Get Cocky" mission, then move to the top left corner of the map. Use
the jump pads to reach the small ledge that has a turret and electronic systems. Start
the mission from the computers, call in a drone, then use the turret to shoot down as
many of the Dahl fighters, meteors and debris as possible. Scoring very will will spawn
special creatures all over the map.
Duplicate Weapons:
------------------
You can essentially duplicate a weapon when playing with a friend. First, save your
progress. Then when you're ready, give the desired weapons to a friend and exit out of
the game without saving. Your friend can save and keep the weapons, and your inventory
won't be hit for the loss because you didn't save after giving away the goodies.
Dark Side of the Moon:
----------------------
Early in the game, in Triton Flats, you will see several prisms with light shooting out
of them. You also will face a group known as the Darksiders. This is obviously a reference
to the band Pink Floyd and their album, Dark Side of the Moon.
Ned Kelly:
----------
The boss named Red Belly is inspired by Australian historical outlaw Ned Kelly, who made
a suit of armour identical to the one Red Belly wears (Red Belly is also a venomous
Australian snake).
Level Multiple Characters Simultaneously:
-----------------------------------------
PC users are able to level up as many as four of their own characters at the same time.
After launching a game session, hit Alt+Tab to jump back to the desktop, then open the
game via it's install directory (as opposed to through a service like Steam).
Choose which character you want to host your game (we recommend the character at the
highest level, as you'll earn more experience and money from their kills and progression),
then set the network connection to LAN and have your secondary characters join that game.
So long as your computer can run 4 instances of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel at the same
time, you can progress each character through as many levels as you like.
Be aware, however, that unless a character is in-game for the acquisition AND redemption
of a quest, they will not gain the rewards / XP from it, and will still have to play
through it themselves.
Breaking Bad Reference:
-----------------------
During the mission "Let's Build A Robot Army", while the four eyes are being reconstructed,
Claptrap (if you are playing as him) will say "Yeah! Science BITCH!" once the process is
complete. This line is a reference to Breaking Bad's own Jesse Pinkman.
Regolith Range: Hidden Nel fight:
---------------------------------
Go to the far east side of Regolith Range, and start the "Last Requests" side mission from
the corpse. The normal completion of the mission involves tracking Nel and calling him a
dick. However, there is a hidden fight with Nel that is started by calling him a dick a
second time. Go to the Dahl Waystation and search the outer edge that overlooks the lava
pits. Use the steam vent to blast yourself up to the platforms on the side of a nearby
building. Climb the jutting parts to go up and around the building. Once at the top, take
the big "D" letter. Jump to float to the next tallest building. Climb up that building
and place the "D" in front of the letters "I" and "C" that are painted on a wall. Follow
the walkway to the left then jump up the protruding sections to reach the top of the
building. Note: Use a grenade jump on the third platform to keep ascending. Once at the
top, collect the "K" and place it at the end of the previously discovered letters to spell
"DICK". Nel will appear again. Defeat his allies, then fight him. Aafter winning, there
will be a chance that the legendary sniper rifle "Skullmasher" will drop.
Hidden messages:
----------------
* The following binary code appears during the credits:
"010010110100010101000101010001010010000001000100010010010100011101000111010010010100111001000111".
It translates to "KEEP DIGGING".
* A QR code can be found above Moxxi's stash. It opens a Google search of "Ghosts From Home".

Then when you're ready, give the desired weapons to a friend and exit out of the game without

loss because you didn't save after giving away the goodies.
Infinite legendary weapons and create any legendary weapon:
-----------------------------------------------------------
After completing the "A New Direction" story mission, fast travel to Concordia, and go to
Janey Springs' business office. She will explain to you that putting Moonstones into the
Grinder will make better weapons. Fast travel to Serenity's Waste, and use the "Secret
Iwajira boss" trick to find and farm the secret Iwajira boss for Moonstones, purple weapons,
and the "Kiwk-Smart Thingy" legendary weapon. Obtain a lot of Moonstones and purple weapons,
and at least one "Kiwk-Smart Thingy" legendary weapon. Then, use the "Duplicating weapons
and items" glitch to duplicate as many purple and "Kiwk-Smart Thingy" legendary weapons as
desired. Have two online players go to Concordia. Have the host player put two "Kiwk-Smart
Thingy" weapons and one purple weapon in the Grinder to create a new legendary weapon. The
type of purple weapon determines what type of legendary weapon you will create. For example,
if you put a purple shotgun into the Grinder, you will get a legendary shotgun. When the
legendary weapon comes out of the machine, make sure to have the player that is not the host
pick it up. After you have created as many legendary weapons as desired from the Grinder,
have the online host quit without saving by force closing the game. The other player will
keep the legendary weapons and can give them to the host player when another game is played.
The host player will also not lose any weapons or Moonstones spent to create the legendary
weapons by exiting the game without saving.
Legendary Excalibastard weapon:
-------------------------------
Fast travel to Triton Flats, then follow the left path once you leave the building and are
outside. When the path splits, continue left. Shortly afterwards, you will see a green jump
pad on the right. Use it to reach the area to travel to Stanton's Liver. Once you are in
Stanton's Liver, go left and jump off the cliff edge. Proceed along the rocky cliff edge
to the left of the grey bridge. Jump over two large gaps to reach the Excalibastard weapon
that is stuck in a stone. To obtain the Excalibastard weapon, you must have a Badass Rank
of 2,500. Badass Rank can be obtained by completing challenges. You can view your Badass
Rank at the menu screen to the far right.
Secret Iwajira boss:
--------------------
Fast travel to Serenity's Waste. Leave the Janey Spring's building, and continue straight
outside. There will be a small cliff on the right shortly after going outside that you
can jump up on. Continue to the right towards the large building up the hill. Jump onto
the rocks to the left of the large building, then jump onto the left sloped ledge of the
building. At the end of the ledge, jump down to the narrow rocky ledge below. Go forward
to reach a lava-fall. While on the ledge with the lava-fall below, use your jet to jump
across the lava-fall to land on the small platform on the opposite side. Enter the lava
cave, and proceed forward to reach a hole in the cave floor that leads to the "Pyroclast
Grotto" area, with the secret Iwajira boss inside. He is a Level 30 Kraggon that is very
hard to defeat alone unless your character is at least Level 29. Kill him to get a massive
amount of loot, including Moonstones. You can also obtain purple weapons and the "Kiwk-Smart
Thingy" legendary weapons from him. To farm Iwajira, pause the game, and select "Save and
Quit". Once you are back at the main menu, select "Continue", then return to Iwajira and
kill him again.
Infinite XP, Moonstones, and loot:
----------------------------------
Proceed through the main missions until you get the "Let's Build A Robot Army" mission
(Level 14). In this mission, you will be tasked with letting turrets kill 12 Scavs. Follow
your waypoint until you get to a closed door, which is where the Scavs come out to be shot
by the turrets. When the door opens, start ground slamming in front of the door to kill
the enemies before the turrets can kill them. This will cause an infinite number of Scavs
to come out of the door. When the turret kills get too high, pause the game, and select
"Save and Quit". Once you are back at the main menu, select "Continue", then run back to
the door to start farming again. If the turret gets the 12 kills, the mission will proceed,
and you will not be able to farm this area any longer. This glitch works best with multiple
players so you can have more people killing the Scavs to prevent the turrets from killing
them.
Quick reloading:
----------------
Throw your weapon on the ground, then immediately pick it back up to instantly reload it.
2001: A Space Odyssey Easter Egg:
---------------------------------
Fast travel to Triton Flats, then follow the left path once you leave the building and
are outside. When the path splits, continue left. Shortly afterwards, you will see a green
jump pad on the right. Use it to reach the area to travel to Stanton's Liver. Once you are
in Stanton's Liver, go left and jump off the cliff edge. Cross the grey bridge, and continue
straight until you cannot go straight any longer. Then, go right and continue straight until
you cannot go straight any longer. Turn right to see a cave straight ahead. Enter the cave
to enter an area called "The Ventricles". Follow the path to the left. Towards the end of
the path, there will be a hidden cave to the left above some large rocks. Enter that cave,
and follow the path to reach "Higgins' Gully". There will be a tall purple monolith straight
ahead. It is shaped like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Enter the purple monolith
to teleport through a psychedelic tunnel to a secret area that is similar to the prehistoric
area featured at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey. There is another tall purple monolith
in the area below. Enter it to teleport to a small purple room, similar to the end of the
movie. There is also a hidden chest in the room. When you leave the room, there will be a
short cutscene that references another scene from the movie. Note: The monolith will no
longer teleport you after it is used.
Easy "Moxxi's Sampler" achievement or trophy:
---------------------------------------------
Once you have 80 Moonstones, go to Concordia. Save and quit the game. Reload that saved
game and go into Moxxi's bar. Purchase all eight drinks, one after the other. You do not
have to wait for them to expire. After you have bought all eight drinks and earned "Moxxi's
Sampler", exit the game. Reload the saved game and you will be in Concordia with your
previous Moonstone amount.
Easy "Air Supremacy" achievement or trophy:
-------------------------------------------
Farm kills in the first and second area. Bring them out and damage enemies so that Wolf
can kill them quicker. Try to target enemies away from Wolf to prevent accidently getting
the kill shot.
Easy "Ice To Meet You" achievement or trophy:
---------------------------------------------
Consider using frost damage over time grenades, frost area of effect guns, or the Baroness
character. Find enemies that go on melee range, for example, Torks (recommended), Kraggons,
and Stalkers. Torks are the best choice, as they are the first enemy that will really group
on you, and they appear in very small areas.
Easy "Collateral Damage" achievement or trophy:
-----------------------------------------------
Go to Tycho's Rib near the end of the game. Cross the "corridor" to enter another room
containing enemies. On the right is a small house with three Lost Legion Eternal. Damage
them enough to force them to ascend, but do not kill them. Get a Magus Eternal. If one
ascends into something else, kill it and try with the next one. If neither turns into a
Magus, exit to the main menu try again. A Magus Eternal will toss orbs of light at you,
and damage their allies in the process. Try to lower the health of those enemies and remain
close to them so the orbs can hit them. The same magus must kill three enemies. Be careful
with the nearby explosives barrels and try to keep it alive or the kill count will reset
to zero.
Easy "Guardian Guardian" achievement or trophy:
-----------------------------------------------
At the end of the "Guardian Hunter" mission, you can hand over the captured guardians
or kill the master hunter. Choose to kill the master hunter.
