Part 4: How to Use a Cheat Table (Step-by-Step)

1. Open Cheat Engine and attach to XComEW.exe.

3. Activate Scripts: You will see a list of options (e.g., “God Mode,” “Infinite Money”). Click the box next to each to activate. Some scripts have sub-options (activate by clicking the + symbol).
4. Freeze Values: For values like “Meld,” you can click the box in the “Active” column to freeze the number so it never decreases.
5. Hotkeys: Many tables include hotkeys (e.g., F1 for God Mode, F2 for One-Hit Kill). Check the table’s description.
