Cheat: Infinite Experience in Big Town

Here’s a glitch that will allow you to get infinite amounts of experience (as long as your Speech skill is high enough). Try the following steps:

    * 1.) - Go to Big Town and find the NPC named Pappy.
    * 2.) - Select the dialogue choice “You came here with Bittercup, right?” If this dialogue choice doesn’t show up, find Bittercup, exhaust all of her conversation chains, and then try speaking with Pappy again. ([Speech 100%] should appear next to the dialogue choice if your Speech skill is at its highest. If it’s not there yet, don’t risk trying to convince him. Speech failure will result in this glitch permanently disappearing.)
    * 3.) - Selecting that dialogue option successfully will net you six experience points. Speak to him again and you can get the experience again. Repeat as much as you want for as much experience as you want.

Cheat: Extra Weapons (in Operation Anchorage)

Note: this cheat only applies to the Operation Anchorage downloadable content pack. As soon as you are able to control your own strike team, you'll be able to get specific weapon loadouts from a terminal. If you give these to the Quartermaster, you can go get another loadout. Drop all the new stuff and talk to the Quartermaster. He'll give you your stuff sans ammo. That's no problem though, since you can head to the ammo dispenser for more. Pick up the weapons on the ground when you're ready to go, or repeat for all the weapons you can handle.

Cheat: The 55 Gallon Drum Carryall

If you are having trouble carrying with over-encumbrance, this cool trick could help you tote around some extra gear. First go through and clear an area of enemies, then grab (Click the right analog stick) a 55 gallon drum. They are ubiquitous in most areas. Fill up the drum by physically picking up items and dropping them in and you'll have an instant "shopping cart" for all your stuff. You can even fast travel with it -- but when you appear at your destination the drum falls to the ground and you have to pick it all back up again.

Note: Updates / DLC may disable this! Try using body parts instead (but Fast Travel still won't work).
