One of many surprises from Blizzard’s Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct was the announcement and release ofWarcraft 2RemasteredandWarcraft 1 Remastered.There is perhaps no better way to celebrate the franchise’s anniversary than to release updated versions of the games that started the entire Warcraft phenomenon. While not quite as popular as 2002’sWarcraft 3, this is the first time that bothWarcraft 2and1are receiving love from Blizzard, including revamped visuals and countless quality-of-life improvements that help brush away some of the dust on these classic games.

Staying true to the nostalgia of pre-2000 games,Warcraft 2 & 3 Reforgedis full of cheat codesthat can be utilized entirely from within a match in single and multiplayer games. Even for more traditional players, many of these cheats feel comparable to QOL features and can help them navigate the relatively old game more easily. Whether trying to experiment with different strategies, building the base of your dreams, or just attempting to lighten the mood in a game, look no further than this list of cheat codes withinWarcraft 2 Remastered.

How To Use Cheats In Warcraft 2 Remastered

How to activate cheats within a game of Warcraft 2 Remastered

DespiteWarcaft 2releasing in 1995, cheats are fairly simple to activate within a game ofWarcraft 2. All cheats inWarcraft 2are activated through the same method in a relatively seamless process.

Warcraft 3: Reforged’s Long-Awaited 2.0 Patch Is A Great First Step, But Revitalizing the Game Will Depend on Future Updates

Warcraft 3: Reforged’s 2.0 patch doesn’t fix every issue, but it certainly points towards a brighter future for the Warcraft franchise.

This process is doable in every format of the game, though when used in multiplayer, the cheats will usually affect both players. Activating cheats in multiplayer also nulls any potential rank increases, making the game itself more of a “for fun” endeavor. Staying true to thelong list of references in theWarcraftfranchise,many of the codes have distinct, pop-culture or franchise-related names, making them easy to remember. While some cheats will likely see more use than others, the list itself is full of helpful, strange, funny, and properly pointless options to toy around with.
