The classic Raven Software developed games Heretic + Hexen just recently got shadow dropped remasters. For those who want to achievement hunt, or just speed up the game in general, the game comes with a variety of cheat codes and we’ve got them all here for you.
The best part about these cheats is that they are all easy to access should you so choose, and you do not even need to plug in a keyboard if you are on console.
For all of these except one you can pause the game and head to the cheat section of the menu. Toggle anything you want to turn on and then proceed with your likely new found power.
If you are simply doing this for achievements, this will significantly lower your runtime. With the specific cheats need you can likely complete the game in around 5-7 hours.
Of course we recommend enjoying the game without too many cheats on, but we won’t judge you if you use them. Everyone loves a completion don’t they?
You can see the full list below.
