Enable DOTA 2 Game Console

Ahh, the overwhelming gaming world of MOBA, a vast universe filled with so many options that you can choose (Well, you can choose all, GAME MASTER! LOL) and start playing. But hey, playing does not always rely on practicing, sometimes, you need some tinkering to be able to practice perfectly, like, developer options, I guess.

So, let's see, I guess you are a seasoned player and want to try something on the game yet you are quite baffled on how to do the technical stuff (Game techniques set aside) so you can have some time perfecting that move you just saw on social media sites like Facebook, YouTube and such, don't be afraid, I got you covered.

With this tutorial, you'll be able to do activate and use some game commands which might/can help you do some crazy things in-game. Just be reminded that you can only use this if you are playing solo against bots or you are the host of the game, so without further waiting let’s get started.

Editor’s Note: Screenshots are from the original Steam and DOTA 2 Game, I just removed some personal account information. Also, not all commands are used in the tutorial (You are free to use it) Procedure is guided with graphical instructions.

So, first things first, launch steam and login, then, from your game library, right click DOTA 2.

On the context menu, select Properties

On the DOTA 2 Property window, on the General Tab, click Set Launch Options

On the Launch Options window, type –console , then click Ok, then Close

Wait get too excited yet, we have to configure your console control key first, so after setting the launch options, launch the game and go to Game Settings

On the Hotkeys Tab, Click the To Advanced Hotkeys

On the Advanced Hotkeys, Under Interface Group, assign a hotkey for the console; Default key is Backward Slash /

Now, go back to the main menu and press the console hotkey and TaDa! You will get the familiar console from the old Counter-Strike 1.3 which serves the same purpose, messing with the game personally, hahaha

So, now you are thinking, “What can I do with this?” Well, we decided to cut the tutorial here because the game commands are a different thing (And will make this post much longer!), so if you are excited for the game commands click the link down below!
