cheat GMBuffAbout
GMBuff is a cheat-only command that grants the player a temporary buff effect. The command has no arguments, so it applies a fixed buff each time you run it.
Use this command in single-player with cheats enabled or on a server console when you have admin access. The buff persists until its duration expires or until you reload the game.
