The game contains a total of 288 different items that you can have in your inventory, these items are numbered from 001 to 288.

Items 001 to 199 are the standard weapons (level 1 to 20) while items 200-288 are various special object, like city resources and "glowing" (special) weapons.

As you probably know if you've played this game, you can keep up to 3 items in-between missions and choose one of them to bring along with you as you enter a new mission.

The items you own are written in the settings.ini file of each player profile and by entering the numbers of your choice, you can make sure that you start each mission with exactly the item you want or, alternatively, with a way to get unlimited cash so you can afford every item that becomes available as you play.

Normally, you can't keep weapons, but by editing the settings.ini file, you can get instant access to your favorite weapon... but let's say that weapon requires a skill level of 8, so you won't be able to use it right away. Well, in that case, you can choose to start the mission with (access to) a ton of cash and once you reach the required skill level, it's time to get that special weapon.

First thing you need to do is to find the settings.ini file. Open your Steam library and look for the folder named "Emerge Cities Of The Apocalypse", here you'll find the "data" subfolder, open it, then go to subfolder "profile" and finally the folder here named after your current player.

In this folder, you'll find the savegame as well as the settings.ini file. Start by making a backup, just to be on the safe side. Now open the file with notepad or similar.

Scroll down the list till you reach the part where it says "[profile item0]" on the line below it reads "id=" followed by a three-digit number, this refers to the number of the currently stored item in your first slot.

Enter the number you want from the list supplied below, so if you want the "megamodule" (+5 production, economy, research), for example, the number should be 254

The line below says "quantity=1", and this is how you can get super rich... if you change this number to a higher value.

The items will stack, but their effects will not, meaning that you can't get 20x +15% infrastructure, for example, but if you visit the trader, he'll pay for all 20 (or whatever number you picked)

You only need to edit the first item, since you can only bring one with you on the mission anyway. Now save the file and start the game.

Below is the list of all special items (numbered 200-288) found in the game. Enter the number of your choice in the settings.ini file together with the quantity in case you want to sell for cash. The number at the end of each line is the item value. Btw. the most valuable item is the #247 Zaytsev Sniper Rifle, valued at $3364
