DOTA 2
Practice Lobby Cheats + Console Commands (Local/Offline)

SETUP (ENABLE CONSOLE + CHEATS)
1) Enable console:
   Settings (gear) > Options > Keyboard/Mouse > Enable Developer Console
(~)
   Optional: add -console to Steam launch options.

2) Create a practice lobby that allows cheats:
   Play > Practice with Bots (or Create Lobby) > Advanced Options > Enable
Cheats
   Important: cheats must be enabled in the lobby, and "Local Host" is
typically required.

3) Open console:
   Press ~


IMPORTANT NOTES
- Cheats are for practice lobbies only. Never use in competitive/online
matchmaking.
- Most "cheats" are easiest as chat commands: type -command in ALL chat and
press Enter.
- Many chat cheats have console equivalents (example: -refresh = dota_dev
hero_refresh).
