Mirror's Edge Cheats: Editing Game Files to Cheat

click to enlarge

It is a tricky game with many hidden extras, and it offers a refreshing change to the combat-based gunplay that makes up most first-person games. It can be a tricky challenge so this article will show you how to use the various cheats that are available.

The developers have attempted to disable cheats in the game so the ~ key which usually opens the command console won’t work. If you want to activate cheats you’ll need to edit some game files and create some key bindings. You’ll want to find the TdInput.ini file which should be located here –

My Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config

Once you have found it right click and open with Notepad and find this line –

Bindings=(Name="D",Command="GBA_StrafeRight",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

You can add new bindings to new lines above this, just make sure that you don’t double bind a key. To give you an example here is Change Camera bound to F2 –

Bindings=(Name="F2",Command="FreeFlightCamera",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

The other cheat codes are as follows: the description and then the code you need to use.

• God Mode – god
• Jesus Mode – jesus
• Free Cam – dropme (God Mode must be on for this to work)
• Change 1^st/3^rd Person – FreeFlightCamera
• Unlimited Ammo – ammo
• All Weapons – loadfullinventory
• Show Frame Rate – stat xunit
• Slow Motion Mode – slomo 0.4
• Slow Motion Off – slomo 1.0
• Unlock All Levels – UnlockAllLevels
• Lock All Levels - LockAllLevels
• Unlock All Time Trials – UnlockAllTT
• Lock All Time Trials – LockAllTT

You can also unlock the speedrun option by completing the game on any difficulty, and this will then allow you to play any chapter of the game as time trial. In order to unlock Hard mode, simply beat the game on Easy or Normal. Be warned however, as enemies are much tougher in Hard mode and runner vision is off by default.
