Cheat codes can be entered to give the player an unfair advantage in many games of the Duke Nukem franchise. This page lists cheat codes for all Duke Nukem games.

Duke Nukem 3D[]

Cheat codes in Duke Nukem 3D do not involve the use of a console. Simply type any of the following codes at any point during regular gameplay:

     DNCORNHOLIO  - Toggles God mode on/off
     DNKROZ       - Toggles God mode on/off and toggles infinite Jetpack
     DNGOD        - (World Tour only) Replaces the DNKROZ cheat

     DNSCOTTY#**  - Warps to a level
                              (Replace # with the episode number and the two * with
                               the level number, e.g. DNSCOTTY203 takes you to Episode 2, level 3)
     DNMONSTERS   - Toggles monsters on/off
     DNCASHMAN    - When the Open button is pressed, money is thrown out (Duke is damn rich!)
     DNVIEW       - Same as pressing F7
     DNRATE       - Shows the Frames Per Second (FPS)
     DNDEBUG      - Shows some debugging information
     DNSKILL#     - Changes the skill level to whatever you input for # (enter 0 for no monsters)
     DNBETA       - Displays the message "Pirates Suck!"
     DNTODD       - Displays the message "Register Cosmo"
     DNALLEN      - Displays the message "Buy Major Stryker"
     DNCOORDS     - Displays your coordinates
     DNSHOWMAP    - Displays the entire map
     DNCLIP       - Toggles Clipping Mode
                              (If you walk into empty space, such as inside walls, you die.)
                              (In versions 1.4/1.5, walking into empty space will not kill you.)
     DNUNLOCK     - Unlocks all doors and opens those that are not locked

Note that cheats are disabled on the hardest difficulty setting, "Damn I'm Good." However, it is still possible to use the God Mode cheat in this skill level. This is done by enabling the cheat at a lower difficulty level and then switching to "Damn I'm Good," either by starting a new game or with the "dnskill#" cheat.
