Command & Conquer Cheats

Glitches

Sandbagging

The game's AI fails to recognize walls of any kind as a target, which can be exploited in a variety of ways. Apart from using cheap sandbag walls to protect your own base, you can wall off important passages, or even build a wall around the enemy base, locking his Harvester in or out as well as all of his units. You can then take your time to build up whatever army you need to clean up easily while the enemy can't do anything except watch from the other side of a wall it can't destroy.

Secrets

Surviving air strikes the easy way

When you're playing the Nod campaign, the AI GDI player will always send its air strikes against your northernmost unit or building, whatever it is. Rather than building expensive SAM sites, of which you'll need several to stop the A-10s before they do any damage, simply place one cheap minigunner a safe distance north of your base, and the poor guy will draw the next air strike to him.

Command & Conquer Red Alert Cheats

Glitches

Free Infantry and Gold via Nuke Silo

Build a Nuke Silo as either Allies or Soviet. When the Nuclear Bomb is ready, sell your Nuke Silo, and immediately target the Nuclear Bomb somewhere. The Nuke Silo will partially sell giving you credits and a group of 5 random infantry (but the Nuke Silo will not disappear!), and the Nuclear Bomb will also explode where you targeted it. The good part is that the Nuke Silo will cancel selling itself, so you can keep on doing this trick without having to build more Nuke Silos. This will work much easier under slower game speeds.

Infantry Walking on Water

Infantry can literally walk on water. Put a Transport by the shore and an infantry unit nearby. Tell the infantry to enter the transport, but just before he enters, move the Transport away from the shore. The man will continue to walk on the water. You can then tell him to enter the Transport again, and move it away just before he enters. This way you can get infantry to move anywhere on water, including getting a spy into an enemy subpen which is surrounded by cliffs. Note that if you try this trick with a land vehicle, it will sink, so don't waste your money!

Repair Naval Units while moving.

A naval unit can be repaired by telling it to return to a naval yard or subpen. While it is docked for repair, if you order it to attack a spot out of range it will move to get in range but will continue repairing on the way!

Tesla Coil/Mammoth Tank Structure Glitch

Build a Telsa Coil and a Mammoth Tank. When they are both completed, decide where you are going to place the Coil. Tell the Mammoth Tank to got there. Just before the Tank gets there build the Coil. The Mammoth Tank will drive right onto it! Now you have a Telsa Coil structure with AA and AG missles, 2 120mm cannons and self-healing heavy armor! The only downside is that once the tank moves off, (usually by accident) you cant get it back on. Also, you cant repair the coil until the tank is off.

Unlimited Aircraft

To build unlimited aircraft, start building the airfield and the aircraft. Then, cancel the airfield and continue building aircraft.

Easter Eggs

Bovine Freedom in mission 5- op. Dark night

When you start the mission head north towrd the missile silos with only tanya, not the spies or G.I.s. Stay to the right of the path north until you see a barn. Shoot the barrels near the barn to kill the infantry. (this is optional to make the mission easier.) Cross the trail to the east, and head north a bit. You should see another barn. Go behind a barn, and you will see a water tower, and cows in a fence. Shoot the barrel below the tower and the the fence gaurding the cows will blow up. Vuala. You now have control of a few bovine. You can either let them stay and eat grass, send them up to the enemy base, or shoot them off with tanya.

Glitches

Build Anywhere as America

Wait until you have paradrops AND a building ready to be placed on the map, then click on paradrops icon in the sidebar (but don't deploy them yet!), then click on your building (the one that's ready). Now simply use the mini map in the lower right corner to deploy your building.

Free Infantry

I think this works in all patches.
Build a cloning vats and capture a hospital. Hurt a infantry unit with another unit but don't kill it. Send the hurt unit into the hospital and when it comes out a free infantry will come out of the cloning vats.

Contributed By: A Purple Cow.

Infinite Free Infantry

First of all you need to build the Cloning Vat. Then put walls around your primary barracks so that no infantry units can get out. Now build any Infantry unit, although the unit will be unable to come out and therefore you are refunded but the one out of the Cloning Vat will come out for free. {Note: This will not work if you have the 1.006 patch or Yuri's Revenge}

Secrets

Cow Exploring

When you free the cows, you can select them just like any other unit, and make them explore. The enemies won't shoot at them!

Safe Transportation

If you are the Soviets, mind control a school bus and put infantry in it. The Allies won't shoot at it!

Glitches

Radar Jammers= Tesla Tanks

When you enter Red Alert, click on the New Missions bar. Then, click on the mission "The Legacy Of Tesla". Build all the required buildings until you can build the Tesla Tank. Then abort the mission. Now click on Multi-player Games. Select Skirmish Mode. After you start a game, you should be able to build Radar Jammers that have a Tesla Coil attack. An easy advantage for the Allies.

Command & Conquer Renegade Cheats

Codes

Edit Vehicle

While in a vehicle, press ` (the key right above the tab key) to open the command console. Now type "edit vehicle" and click enter. It should give you a list of things you can edit about the vehicle (e.g. Max engine tourqe. The higher the Tourqe, the faster the car will go.) Dont set the spring too high - if you get in the car when the spring is too high, the car will shoot up in the sky at start spinning around in space!

Extra Characters

Note: this code only works in Multiplayer Practice and Non-Laddered Games.

In order to get extra characters, press F8, the put in "extras fnkqrrm", without the quotations. If you have the unpatched version, put in "extras quantifigon", without the quotations. When you are at the Purchase Terminal, hold down alt when clicking on either Characters, or Vehicles. Some of the units for GDI include General Locke, Elana Petrova, Logan, and Liutenant Maus. The hidden vehicles for GDI are a Sedan, and a Pickup Truck. Nod's hidden characters include 3 mutants, a chef, Mutated Petrova, and Kane.

Glitches

Silent Run

This can work with any character, preferably Stealth Black Hand, but when you want to sneak up on someone somewhat far away and cant normally reach him in time, hold down the crouch button and constantly jump towards wherever you want to go! Jumping is the same speed as running, and while you are crouched, you make no noise at all. Plus when you are Stealth Black Hand, you are invisible unless you get about a foot away from an enemy, but when you are crouched you cannot be seen like you would if you weren't.

Contributed By: Dodge159.

Use Purchase Terminals outside of buildings

If you walk to an allied building and go to where a terminal is (on the other side of wall) and press E, you can use the purchase terminal to buy things. This is quicker than going into the building and it is useful for buying refills and buying an engineer character to repair your base or vehicles.

Secrets

Edit game credits

First open the ''svcfg_skirmish.ini'' file in the westwood/renegade/data directory. At the very bottom of the page, it will say "starting credits = some number". Now hilight the number after "starting credits" and change it to 100,000 or 1,000,000. Next click ctrl + s to save the changes. Now close the window and start up Renegade, and go to multiplayer practice mode. Now you should have the amount of credits you entered before. You can also turn friendly fire on, make it a dedicated server, and many other things.

Note - This does not work on multiplay internet servers, it only works on multiplayer practice mode.

Contributed By: Guitar geek 456.

Enabling Extras

You can activate some fun extras in the multiplayer mode by pressing F8 to bring up the command menu and typing ''extras fnkgrrm'' (''extras quantifigon'' in the unpatched version). A message should appear saying, ''Extras ENABLED!'' Now hold down the Alt key while clicking on the character or vehicle buttons to bring up the extras (but there are no menu pictures for them). Extras do not work in laddered games.

Note: Some of the Nod extra characters are mutants. They regain health while they are standing on Tiberium or being hit by Tiberium-based weapons.

Extra credits in Multiplayer Practice

Go to C:\Westwood\Renegade\Data and open the "svrcfg_skirmish" file and change "StartingCredits=400" to however many credits you want to start out with, anywhere up to 50,000.

Infinite Skirmish Time

Use a text editor, enter the westwood/renegade/data directory and edit the ''svcfg_skirmish.ini'' file. Simply change the ''game-time'' value to zero.

CAUTION: Make back-ups before editing anything.

First set up the controls so that you can scroll up,down,left and right with the direction keys. Now build a structure and get in a position where its possible to build anywhere between an empty space in your base and the side bar. Now click to place the structure but hold the button and drag it behind the scroll bar. Now wile still holding left click use the direction buttons to move to wherever you want to build and let go.

Firestorm Lasts Forever (Unpatched game only)

As GDI build a Firestorm generator, and then place Firestorm Wall Pieces where wanted. When ready, activate the Firestorm Generator and sell your Power Plants until you are on low power. If the Firestorm Generator was still going when your power went low the Firestorm will keep on working until you build a power plant and have normal power again.

Contributed By: Tails_Chao_4.

Free Building Repairs

This is useful if you are playing as GDI. If you have a Power Plant that is severly damaged and it has no Power Turbines on it, you can build one and place it on the Power Plant, and the Power Plant will be set at full health for free without having to repair it! This also works for placing a Vulcan Cannon/RPG/SAM on a Componet Tower for a free repair, and placing an Ion Cannon Uplink or Seeker Control on an Upgrade Center as well. Very useful to save money.

Contributed By: peach freak.

Missile Defence

When playing as GDi build a firestorm generator and place a section of firestorm wall anywhere away from your base, NOD will never attack your base with missles as long as this section remains. Best of all there is no need to activate the firestorm, just having a section laid out is all it takes.

Contributed By: BlackRat27.

Secrets

Beating the Stealth Generator

This works for GDI only. You must have access to an Orca Carryall and a Mobile Sensor Array. Take the Carryall, force it to load on the MSA and fly it into suspected Nod Base Territory which is cloaked. The MSA will uncover all the buildings on the minimap, and if it is attacked, the surrounding buildings near the attacker will also be revealed! Cool, huh?

This part works for Nod. Take the MSA and drive it straight into the enemy base which is cloaked. It has the same effect.

Edit Screen Resolution

Edit sun.ini in the game directory and you can push the screen resolution way up from the pathetic 640x480 standard

Look for...

[Video]
ScreenWidth=640
ScreenHeight=480
StretchMovies=no

And just change the values to something more suiting to your PC + Monitor (as Tib Sun looks stupid at 640x480 on bigger monitors)

On my machine I run the game at 1280x1024 with no problems, stops so much scrolling around and you can see all the build options too!

Suicide Take-Out!

Fill up your harvester with as much blue tiberian as it can hold. Then, with a group of Light Infantry, park your Harvester by any of the enemy's buildings. The building, your harvester, and surrounding units and buildings will explode, causing your enemy to be forced to rebuild again!
