Bannerlord: Battle cheats

The key combinations that work during battle are here. You do not type them into the console; you press them directly on the keyboard. The most used is healing, which saves your life when you are about to die in the middle of a siege. The combination that knocks out all enemies ends a lost battle in one move.

Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.

Fully heals your character

Ctrl + H

Fully refills your health during battle. A lifesaver when you are about to die in the middle of a siege.

Heals your horse

Ctrl + Shift + H

Refills your wounded horse's health. Your horse loses speed when it is wounded, so this makes a real difference in battle.

Knocks out one enemy

Ctrl + F4

Instantly knocks out one of the enemies on the field. Handy for getting past a single opponent who is giving you trouble.

PC

Knocks out all enemies

Ctrl + Alt + F4

Every enemy on the field is knocked out and the battle counts as won. The fastest way out of a lost siege.

In Warband this combination was Ctrl + Shift + F4. Bannerlord uses Alt instead of Shift.

Knocks out one of your own troops

Ctrl + F2

Knocks out one of the soldiers in your own party. For testing and setting up scenes.

PC

Battle cheats: Common questions

Do I need to open the console for the key combinations?
No. If you turned on cheat mode in the config file, the combinations work directly. You only need the console for typing commands.
Does healing also heal my horse?
No, there is a separate combination for the horse. Your horse loses speed when it is wounded, so you may need to use both in the middle of a battle.
Does knocking out all enemies win the battle?
Yes, once the enemies on the field are knocked out, the battle counts as won and you move on to the loot screen. Taking prisoners works just as in a normal battle.
Do the Warband combinations work here too?
Some are the same and some have changed. The difference to watch most closely is the combination that knocks out all enemies: It was Ctrl + Shift + F4 in Warband and became Ctrl + Alt + F4 in Bannerlord.
