Many PC games have a chat function that easily allows players to send messages to both their team and opponents, with StarCraft 2 being among them. While the chat feature can be used for actual chatting, players can also use it to enter specific cheat codes.
The cheat code function only works during any of the single-player campaigns, though it’s important to know that using one will disable any further achievements unless you leave the mission and try again. If you do want to cheat, here’s how to do it and every code there is to use.

Jumping into the RTS genre can be pretty overwhelming for newcomers. Here are some games that are beginner-friendly.
How To Enter Cheat Codes In StarCraft 2
Cheat Codes only work in campaigns and some custom maps, and won’t work even when playing other single-player game modes. To enter a code, simply press Enter to open up the chat bar and enter the code, pressing enter again to send the code and activate it. The effects are instant and can’t be undone once sent. Capitalization does not matter with cheat codes, just as long as they are spelled correctly.
While called cheat codes, these were put in the game by the developers and are safe to use in single-player whenever you’d like.
