Sniper Elite 4 Cheat Codes: PC Console Commands & How to Activate

Sniper Elite 4 has four PC-exclusive cheat codes — reb00, Stealth, Panzer, and Ratbomb — and all of them activate the same way: enter the code as your profile name at the login screen before starting a mission. No mods, no external tools, no console command window. Just type it where your name would go. Console players on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch don’t have access to any of these — this is strictly a PC thing.

Here’s what each code does at a glance, then the full activation walkthrough below.

How to Activate Cheat Codes in Sniper Elite 4

The activation method is unconventional — Rebellion hid it in the profile name field rather than a dedicated cheat menu. Here’s the exact sequence:

1. Launch Sniper Elite 4 and wait for the main menu to load.
2. Move your cursor to the Log In option.
3. When prompted to enter a profile name, type the cheat code exactly — capitalization matters. Stealth, Panzer, and Ratbomb require their first letter capitalized. reb00 is all lowercase with two zeros.
4. Confirm the name and start a mission. The effect activates immediately across all missions until you change the profile name.

One important note: you can only run one code at a time this way — whichever name you’ve saved is the active cheat. The exception is reb00, which opens a cheat menu in the pause screen and lets you toggle multiple options simultaneously. If you want full flexibility, start with reb00.

To deactivate: go back to the login screen, delete the cheat code, and enter a regular profile name before your next session.

reb00: The Cheat That Unlocks Everything Else

This one is the most valuable of the four. Enter reb00 as your profile name and you’ll see a new option appear when you pause mid-mission — a cheat menu with toggles that go beyond what the other three codes offer individually.

The in-menu options include things like invincibility, infinite ammo, and additional gameplay modifiers that aren’t accessible through the other profile-name codes. Think of the three named cheats (Stealth, Panzer, Ratbomb) as quick single-effect shortcuts, while reb00 gives you a full control panel. If you’re planning an extended sandbox session, reb00 is the right starting point — activate it, load your mission, then use the pause menu to fine-tune exactly what you want enabled.

Worth knowing: the cheat menu unlocked by reb00 typically disables achievements for that session. If you’re trophy hunting alongside experimenting, keep separate save profiles.

Stealth Code: Silenced Without the Suppressors

Normally in Sniper Elite 4, Karl’s shots create sound — you’re actively timing shots to coincide with loud ambient noise like airplane flyovers or generator bursts to avoid detection. The Stealth code removes that mechanic entirely. Every weapon fires silently, including the pistol and SMG, not just the sniper rifle.

This fundamentally changes how the game plays. You no longer need to hunt for noise-masking opportunities, which means you can take shots whenever the angle is right rather than waiting for the next plane to fly overhead. It’s a surprisingly relaxed way to replay missions you’ve already completed — you already know the routes, and now you can focus purely on execution without the sound management layer.

That said, silenced shots still create visible disturbances. Enemies will still react to bodies, gunfire flashes, and movement. The Stealth code removes acoustic detection, not all detection.

Panzer and Ratbomb: When You Just Want Carnage

These two are purely about spectacle, and they deliver.

Panzer turns every bullet Karl fires from his rifle into an explosive round. Each shot triggers the game’s signature X-ray kill-cam — but now with explosive physics layered on top. Bones shatter, organs rupture, and the surrounding geometry reacts to the blast. On heavily-armored targets or clustered enemy groups, the results are genuinely absurd in the best way. It also makes the game trivially easy on any difficulty, since a single shot clears rooms.

Ratbomb is weirder and more creative. Rats spawn naturally throughout Sniper Elite 4’s Italian campaign maps — near kitchens, rubble, and supply depots. With Ratbomb active, every rat becomes a live grenade. Shoot one from a distance and it detonates near patrolling enemies. Better yet, the rats wander on their own patrol routes, which means you can set up scenarios where a rat naturally walks into a group and you trigger the explosion remotely. It’s chaotic, it’s funny, and it opens up kill approaches the developers almost certainly didn’t plan for.

Used together via the reb00 cheat menu, Panzer and Ratbomb on the same run turns Sniper Elite 4 into something closer to a physics sandbox than a stealth game.

Pairing Cheats With Specific Missions for Maximum Effect

Not all cheats land equally on every map. A few combinations worth trying:

The Panzer code hits hardest on missions with vehicle objectives — maps where you’d otherwise need satchel charges or anti-tank rifles to deal with armored targets. With explosive bullets active, your standard sniper rifle handles everything, which frees up inventory slots for other equipment.

The Stealth code is most useful on mission replays where you’re specifically going for a no-alert run. Enemy AI in Sniper Elite 4 is sound-reactive enough that removing gunshot noise genuinely opens up lines of fire that are otherwise too exposed. San Celini Island and Giovi Fiorini Mansion both have patrol patterns that become much easier to work around when you’re not waiting for audio cover.

The Ratbomb code pairs well with the Abrunza Monastery mission, which has a notably high rat population near the lower quarters. It’s also just worth activating once purely for the X-ray rat explosion animation — the game’s kill-cam applies to environmental kills too, and a rat detonation next to a German officer produces results that never get old.

One practical tip: save your regular profile before swapping to a cheat code name. Sniper Elite 4 ties progress and unlocks to profiles, and you don’t want a cheat run overwriting a legitimate save that’s tracking your campaign completion or difficulty achievements.
