KF2: Wear Conflicting Accessories with Console Commands

Some Killing Floor 2 cosmetic items refuse to be worn together, for example headphones and a ski mask. This guide shows a console trick that forces two or even three of these items onto the same character. It relies only on in-game commands, but the author gives a practical warning: restart the game afterwards so your progress (XP, dosh, loot, dailies) is counted properly. For a second take on the same trick, see this related guide.

What you need

• Two accessories that conflict. The example uses the MK I headphones and the ski mask.
• Windowed mode (Alt+Enter). This is mandatory, otherwise the game freezes.
• The console, opened with the tilde key.

First item: MK I headphones.

Second item: the ski mask, which normally conflicts with the first.

Step 1 - Enable cheats and the log window

Open the console and enter:

enablecheats
showlog

A small log window appears.

Console commands.

The log window that opens after showlog.

Step 2 - Read the attachment data

Equip one of the items, then enter printoutcharactercosmeticinfo in the console. The log shows lines like:

ScriptLog: Item on slot index: 0 Mesh index: 69 Skin index 4
ScriptLog: Item on slot index: 1 Mesh index: 255 Skin index 255
ScriptLog: Item on slot index: 2 Mesh index: 255 Skin index 255

Take the numbers from the first line (0, 69, 4):

Value	Meaning
0	Slot. Slots are 0, 1 and 2; this is the only value you can freely change, depending on which slots are free.
69	Item (mesh) ID. It is unique per character: the MK I headphones are 69 on the classic Briar but 51 on Foster.
4	Skin of the item, such as the blue, green or black headphones.

The attachment printout in the log window.

Step 3 - Attach the conflicting item

Now put on the other item you want and enter:

setcharacterattachment 69 4 1 TRUE

The format is: item ID, skin, free slot, TRUE. The trailing TRUE is required, otherwise the result is broken. Close the console and both accessories are shown.

Applying the second attachment.

The finished look.

Three conflicting items

Equip the first item in slot 0, then add the other two through the console:

setcharacterattachment ID1 skin1 1 TRUE
setcharacterattachment ID2 skin2 2 TRUE

Tips

• Read the IDs separately for every character, because they differ.
• Use a free slot number (0, 1 or 2) for each additional item.
• Restart the game after the experiments so progress is saved normally.
