About

GiveTekEngramsTo unlocks a single Tek engram for a target player. Unlike manually earning it through leveling or boss defeats, this command grants the engram instantly and bypasses any prerequisite engrams.

You need two inputs: the player's UE4 ID (found via ListPlayers or the player list) and the GFI code of the Tek engram. Use this to help a player recover lost engrams, test engram balance, or hand out high-level content without forcing a long progression path.

This command is cheat-protected and works through console. It affects only the target player's engram list.
