How do I turn on the Dota 2 developer console?

Guide Q&A

Open Settings, choose Options, then open Advanced Options and enable the developer console. In a custom lobby, press the console key (usually tilde) and enter the command. You also need the host to enable cheats in the lobby settings.

If a command does nothing, first confirm cheats are enabled for that lobby and check the command syntax.

You can also bind the console key in the hotkey settings if tilde is unavailable on your keyboard layout.

Guide answer

Commands need the right lobby permissions; spectators may not be able to use economy commands.
