Ark Commands Cheats And Admin Code List
They aren’t strictly cheats, but Ark admin commands do change the survival game to allow you access to things you wouldn’t usually have. You can boost your experience points, instantly tame a dinosaur, add an item to your inventory, or even destroy every dinosaur in the land, simply by using a code word. If you’re looking to further enhance your game, here’s our guide to all the best Art mods.
Here is a list of Ark cheat codes and admin commands:
How do you use Ark admin commands?
To use an Ark admin command, you’ll first need to open the console. This can be done by pressing the TAB key. If this doesn’t work, you’ll need to make a quick adjustment in the game’s .ini file. Head to:
Steam\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
Open DefaultInput.ini with Word Pad or similar. Scroll to the bottom of the document to find the line “+ConsoleKeys=Tab”. In front of the line will be a semi-colon (;). Delete this, save the .ini file, and the console should now work in-game.
Many commands will require the ‘Enable Cheats’ command to be used beforehand, as well as the ‘Enable Cheats for Player’ command. Be sure to use these before attempting to use other commands.
