Dota 2 cheats explained: All the commands for heroes, items, and more
Dota 2 has one of the highest skill ceilings of all the competitive MOBAs out there. Needless to say, coming in as a fresh player can be incredibly daunting. To counter this steep learning curve, and to assist pre-existing players to learn meta-changing strats, Valve has added cheats to the game.
Dota 2’s cheats aren’t like traditional cheats though. Instead, they’re a quick way of learning what’s new in the game on an accelerated timescale. Cheat commands can only be used in practice mode, a custom game where you go up against bots and can set the parameters for play.
But before you head off to that you’ll need to enable the cheats. Head into your settings in the lobby and hit the checkbox, or enter the command sv_cheats 1 in the console, and you’re ready to go. Just remember to only use the Valve-approved commands below, and not third-party software, otherwise you’ll get hit with the ban hammer.

dota 2 cheats for heroes
Dota 2 gives you the ability to spawn any hero to your team or your opponent’s team through commands.
There are just two commands which will summon a hero:
- Chat Command: “-createhero” followed by the hero’s internal name
- Console Command: “dota_create_unit” followed by the hero’s internal name
To spawn the hero on the opposing team to fight against you, add “enemy” to the end of your command. You also don’t have to give the full internal name in your command, just enough of the name for the game to identify it.
