Modify Weapons
If you wish to modify a weapon you need to open up the WarWeapon.ini file in the root Gears of War Config folder, then look down until you find the weapon you want to edit. For example, the Lancer shows:
[WarfareGame.Weap_AssaultRifle]
InitialMagazines=6
CriticalAmmoCount=10
LastBulletStrongerPercent=0.75f
PRM_Damage=(Value=(20,21,22,23,24))
PRM_DamageAI=(Value=(20,21,22,23,24))
MagSize=60
MaxSpareAmmo=600
PRM_Recoil=(Value=(11,27,24,21,18))
PRM_MinAimError=(Value=(0))
PRM_MaxAimError=(Value=(12,11,10,9,8))
PRM_Range=(Value=(8192,10240,12288,14336,16384))
PRM_RateOfFire=(Value=(850))
AmmoFromDrop=(X=100,Y=150)
MeleeAttackDamageMin=1000
MeleeAttackDamageMax=1000
bDoMeleeDamageShakes=FALSE
MeleeAttackInterruptedRetryDelay=2
ReloadDuration=2.5
AR_PreReactionWindowDuration=-1.0
AR_PossibleSuccessStartPoint=0.700
AR_SuperSweetSpotDuration=-1.0
AR_SweetSpotDuration=-1.0
AI_BurstFireCount=(X=8,Y=12)
AI_BurstFireDelay=(X=0.8f,Y=1.2f)
TargetingFOV=40
bPlayFireCameraShake=TRUE
FireCameraShake=(FOVAmplitude=0,LocAmplitude=(X=0,Y=0,Z=0),RotAmplitude=(X=45,Y=22.5,Z=11.25),RotFrequency=(X=80,Y=50,Z=20),TimeDuration=0.25,bOverrideTargetingDampening=TRUE,TargetingDampening=0.5)
bPlayFireCameraAnim=FALSE
bFireCameraAnimLooping=TRUE
FireCameraAnimName=Camera_Recoil_AssaultRifle
You can't edit the ini file by itself (because of a runtime error) so you need to look for the line you want to change and then do it in the console while playing.
So let's say that you want to edit the clip size, it's the line MagSize=60 so what you need to do is to go in the console (in game) type set, then where the line is located (which in this example would be the lancer section) and then the line itself, and last but not least the new value for the line (let's say now that you want a clip of 1000 rounds).
The cheat would be:
set WarfareGame.Weap_AssaultRifle MagSize 1000
So the basic formula to entering cheats AND any other command into Gears of War is:
set (space) [ enter section name here from desired ini file ] (space) [ enter line of that section here ] (space) [ enter value for that line ]
Activate Multiple Cheats at Once
Create a text file with Notepad and place it in your Gears of War\Binaries folder. Example: mod.txt. Place all of the cheat commands you wish to run inside of the text file.
Example:
set WarfareGame.Weap_SniperRifle MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_Grenade MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_AssaultRifle MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGameContentWeapons.Weap_Bow MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGameContentWeapons.Weap_Boomer MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_COGPistol MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_LocustAssaultRifle MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_LocustPistol MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_Shotgun MaxSpareAmmo 999999
set WarfareGame.Weap_AssaultRifle MagSize 999
set WarfareGame.Weap_COGPistol MagSize 999
Now, while playing, you can simple open the console and execute your file using the exec command. Example: exec mod.txt
