For Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition players who are looking for cheat codes of the game, this guide wil show you what you need.
General Information
Warning: Usage of some of these cheat codes will disable achievements.
However, the level select cheat is required to unlock all achievements, as some levels are warp-only and they can only be accessed through the usage of this menu. Upon loading a warp-only level, an achievement will trigger.
These will also work in the original ROTT. I have tested each code on Ludicrous Edition and omitted those that did not trigger for me when input. Once used, these codes will be accessible in the game’s options menu for later use under “Unlocked cheat codes”.
I might have missed some, though, so your input is quite welcome.
