About
UnlockEngram grants you immediate access to craft a single engram by its blueprint path. You do not spend engram points, and the engram appears as learned in your inventory.
This command is useful for testing engram availability, replacing lost engrams after a player wipe, or giving yourself a specific recipe without a full character reset. Provide the complete blueprint path of the engram you want to unlock; the command will fail silently if the path is invalid or does not exist in your game version.
