There are six cheat codes in End of Abyss, and they provide additional armor, infinite ammo, endless Health Boosters, and more. To activate those effects, players must upgrade the Scanner and then locate the codes within the environment. This guide explains how to upgrade the Scanner and details all code locations in End of Abyss.
You cannot upgrade the Scanner and unlock cheat codes until you have almost reached the end of the game. Check our End of Abyss Walkthrough if you need help getting to that point.
