How To Use Cheat Engine - Tutorial With Examples

In this video, I show you how to use Cheat Engine to cheat in all your favorite games, explained in a way that anybody can do it. After watching this tutorial, you'll be able to change in-game values such as money, gold, item count, ammo, and experience.

You'll also know how to cheat to change unknown values where the game doesn't show you the values you're trying to change.

You'll also learn how to find code that accesses those values and to replace that code with nothing, which is a great way for activating cheats such as god mode (infinite health), infinite stamina, infinite durability, unlimited ammunition, and much more!

Once you learn these basics, you'll be able to pretty much anything in your games.

Also, I explain how cheat engine works for online games.

i was trying to use cheat engine on a pretty underground game- there were practically no tutorials for it and the ones i did find were completely baffling... but this was so clean and concise. Hats off!!

[TheHappyKamper]

As a dad who gets very little gaming time these days, this will be very helpful for games I want to just enjoy, without have to grind away time I don't have. Will be particularly great for Ubi-bloat games.

This is the way these tutorials should be because most other ones take a long time to figure out.

For someone like myself who doesn’t want to create extensive cheat trainers (I think that’s the term) but just wants to tweak the occasional number in a game, I found your video tremendously helpful. I had watched it months ago and had Cheat Engine on my PC but never got around to trying it. Today I wanted to add some gold in “Army of Ruin” to save me a long grind.

I rewatched your video and within 5 to 10 minutes I had 9, 999, 999 gold pieces in my game. It was so easy that I did the same thing with “20 Minutes Till Dawn”. And if the need arises again with some other game I feel confident I’ll know what to do.

At the age of 70 I don’t learn new things that often. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

This was way more informative and easier to understand than any other video I've found. Thank you so much for this! Cheers! You've gained a new sub 👍

You are an absolute godsend and I hope that you see this comment! I couldn’t find anyone on YouTube capable of explaining in this simple terms that were easy to follow until I found your video, you explained in 6 minutes what took me three hours of going through other people’s videos to figure out!
Thank you so much!!

[reman]

God bless you, i always knew how to change the values for ammo and items but never knew how to change the values for health or stamina in game but well thanks to you now i know!❤😊

[VictorNetwork]

can we just appreciate how he explained that in just 14 minutes. when i had to watch a 45 minutes to understand this. thx

[adeerworld]

i think the best way to find a unknown value in a 1m+ list is to to AB testing. Freeze half of the values and see if there is an effect, and then continue to freeze the half that has an effect. with 1m values it only take 20 trys to get to 1 option

I remember using cheat engine way back in i think 2005 2006? Good memories. Still works the same, still easy as can be !

You deserve a lot more subscribers. Keep making windows and soon we might make it 🙏🙏
The quality and effort you put into this is way better than what other 2k subscriber youtubers put into their videos. Just a little friendly suggestion would be not to have such an abrupt ending other than that everything since the start was perfect. Hope my comment finds you well.

Tip: When in Cheat Engine, always tick the box that says "Compare to previous scan", it helps in weeding out incorrect values by aligning or sampling the previous value you scanned. For example, if you are trying to find X value and you get multiple results of the X value. You hit compare to the previous scan and insert the new changed value of X which is XY and the program will then look for results that were X but then changed to XY. Anything that didn't change from X to XY is disregarded.

This option helps you find the address you want swiftly. I use it all the time and it never fails.

[NelsonChris-vv]

Thanks for the tutorial. Simple and understandable

[romromkorby]

youre the only person ive found that explains it in full and in a way thats understandable, thank you

[SanYou]

thank you this is very useful for me who often play offline games, and not many people explain the details of the use of the cheat engine, you are amazing

[revera]

You can eventually get crazy with it, like change a static address to redirect to empty space in the games code, and then you can do complex programming like setting hotkeys and then activate your cheats based on the key you press, and then go back to continue normal operations. But nowadays, I’m trying to figure out how to just change the values and opcodes and dynamic and static addresses with cheat engines’s LUA scripts instead of actually programming my own injector. some games make it so much more difficult to find the address/value. So it’s good to know some tricks like you mentioned. It’s also annoying when you hack your health display but not your actual health. Cheers.

Thanks. Your channel is totally underrated. Subbed.

[vereor]

Thank you so much for this simple tutorial! Definitely more helpful than other tutorials I have found

[defalkotrap]

Cheat Engine work also for GTA 5 Online, I gave myself 1 billion and I spent them in 2 months and I had no ban. If you are low level avoid giving yourself too high a value (just for GTA ONLINE). NICE VIDEO and GREAT JOB.

[SBmoonbug]

I had been struggling with how to use cheat engine for a long time and your video helped me and everything worked. Thank you so much!
