For players on PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, cheats are entered via button combinations rather than words. Detailed button sequences for every platform are available at Radio Times and Eurogamer .
(Note: Console players use sequences like R1, R2, L1, R2, Left, Down, Right, Up, etc., but the words are the iconic "passwords" for PC players.)

Remember smashing that Pause button mid-mission? didn't have microtransactions — it had passwords (cheat codes).
One of the most interesting phenomena involved the "password" for infinite ammo or spawning vehicles. Players would input the tank code ( PANZER ), enter the tank, enable the "flying cars" cheat, and take off. It broke the game physics in the most hilarious ways, leading to a culture of "chaos runs" on YouTube and early internet forums.
