How to View "StarCraft 2" Campaign Maps

Cheats only work in single player mode.

Maps in the “StarCraft 2” single-player campaign are hidden by default. Sections of the map are only visible when you have a nearby unit in the area. The grayed-out area that prevents you from seeing other areas of the map is known as the “fog of war.” You can view an entire campaign map by using a cheat code that removes the fog of war and exposes everything on the map or by opening the campaign map in the map editor included with “StarCraft 2.”

Instructions

Cheat Code

1. Start the “StarCraft 2” campaign mission you want to view the map of.

2. Press “Enter” while playing on the map to access the console.

3. Type “TookTheRedPill” and press “Enter.” The entire campaign map becomes visible.

Map Editor

1. Browse to the “C:\Program Files (x86\StarCraft II” directory on your computer, and double-click the “StarCraft II Editor.exe” file to start the “StarCraft 2” map editor. Browse to the directory you installed “StarCraft 2” to if you installed it to a different directory.

2. Click the “File” menu at the top of the “StarCraft 2” editor window, and select “Open.”

3. Click the “Campaign” tab at the top of the Open Document window that appears.

4. Select the campaign map you want to view by clicking its file name in the list on the campaign tab. The editor displays the selected map’s mission name and mini-map at the right side of the window after you click a map.

5. Click “OK” to open the map and view it in the editor.

Tips & Warnings

• Using a cheat code in single player prevents you from earning achievements for the duration of the entire campaign if you continue playing. Load a saved game from before you used the cheat code to re-enable achievements.
