Console

Source: AEon’s Reflex Console Command Reference (v0.30.4)

Open with tilde (~). On German keyboards: ^.

Start typing a command name and press Tab to autocomplete. Press Tab twice for a full list of matching commands. Typing a CVAR name alone and pressing Enter shows its current value.

Config Files

Config files live in the game directory:

• 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Reflex\
• 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Reflex\

saveconfig game saves current settings to game.cfg. loadconfig NAME loads NAME.cfg (omit the .cfg extension).

Recommended setup: create a personal .cfg, clear game.cfg, replace its contents with loadconfig NAME.

Bind Syntax

bind <key> <command> [value]
addbind <key> <command>
unbind <key>
unbindall
bindResetToDefaults

Commands starting with + have a paired - release. addbind adds to an existing bind without replacing it. Run keylist in the console for a full list of bindable key names.
