Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel laser space combat

Before digging into the next add-ons remove the HUD, take titled screenshots or carefully customize your FOV settings in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel by activating the PC developer console.

It takes some text editing in the game’s installation files so, as always, follow these instructions at your own risk. With the warning out of the way, see how to enable with the full guide below. Opening the console is basically the same as in Borderlands 2. The games clearly share the same engine, but there are some changes to the file path and code detailed here.

How to Enable the Developer Console on PC

In the “Config” folder, open the “DefaultInput.ini” with a text editor like Notepad. Search for the line “[Engine.Console] and copy+paste the following under so it looks like this:

[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Tilde
TypeKey=Backslash
ManualAutoCompleteList=(Command=”Stat UNITAVG”,Desc=”Stat UNITAVG (Shows average hardware unit framerate)”)

Now when you start the game, press tilde [`] to bring down the console window. Restart the Steam client if it doesn’t seem to be working.
