Xcom 2 Cheat Engine Supplies Value Install May 2026

Using Cheat Engine on XCOM 2 is one of the easiest ways to manage the game's difficulty, but the "Supplies" value can be tricky because of how the game stores data.

Here is a step-by-step guide to finding and changing your Supplies value in XCOM 2 using Cheat Engine.

Step 2: First Scan for Supplies

1. In Cheat Engine, ensure Value Type is set to:
   • 4 Bytes (most common)
   • If that doesn't work, try All or Float (rare, but try 4 Bytes first).
2. In the Value box, type your current Supplies number (e.g., 245).
3. Click First Scan.
4. You will likely get hundreds or thousands of addresses.

Step 2: Initial Search (First Scan)

1. In Cheat Engine, ensure the Value Type is set to 4 Bytes (most resources in XCOM 2 use this).
2. Look at your Supplies number in the game. Let’s say it is 247.
3. Enter 247 into the Value box in Cheat Engine.
4. Click First Scan.

You will likely see thousands of memory addresses. This is normal.

Phase 3: Alternative Method (The "Unknown Initial Value")

If Phase 1 and 2 fail, use this fail-safe method. Using Cheat Engine on XCOM 2 is one

1. In Cheat Engine, change Scan Type to Unknown initial value.
2. Make sure Value Type is 4 Bytes.

4. Go in-game and spend some supplies (buy an item).
5. Go back to Cheat Engine. Change Scan Type to Decreased value...
6. Click Next Scan.
7. Go in-game and gain supplies (finish a mission or wait for monthly report).

"The value resets after a mission or loading screen."

• This happens if you found a temporary or display-only address. You need the base address.
• Try spending Supplies during a tactical mission (on a soldier’s PCS or grenade at a supply drop). The persistent value is usually tied to the strategy layer.

Troubleshooting: Why Isn’t This Working?

Part 4: The "Install" Problem – Why Cheat Tables are Better

Why do people search for "install" with Cheat Engine? Because manually scanning every time you play is a pain. The memory addresses for Supplies in XCOM 2 change every time you load a save or restart the game. This is called Dynamic Memory Allocation.

To solve this, we install a Cheat Table (.CT file) that uses AOB (Array of Bytes) Injection. In Cheat Engine, ensure Value Type is set to:

Part 6: Avoiding the "VAC Ban" Myth (Safety Check)

A lot of new users fear a Steam VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) ban when modifying XCOM 2.

Here is the hard truth: XCOM 2 does not use VAC. It has no multiplayer anti-cheat that matters (the multiplayer is peer-to-peer and dead).

• Is it safe? Yes, for single player.
• Will Steam ban you? No.
• Will it break achievements? No. Cheat Engine does not trigger the "Modded" flag that disables achievements. You can still unlock "Earth Avenger" while sitting on 99,999 supplies.

The only risk: Setting Supplies to a negative number or NaN (Not a Number) can corrupt your save file. Always save your game before modifying memory, not after.
