How to Access Admin Commands in ARK

by 
This minHour will teach you how to access admin commands in ARK: Survival Evolved. Admin codes, also known as console commands, in ARK are similar to cheat codes that let you instantly tame a dinosaur, add points to your skills, or destroy every dinosaur in the game.

Steps

Launch ARK.

You’ll find this game in your Start menu or Applications folder in Finder.

Press Tab ↹.

If this doesn’t open the in-game console command, you’ll need to change some things in the game’s .ini file.

  • Open the “DefaultInput.ini” file in Notepad or something similar (like TextEdit). Find “+ConsoleKeys=Tab” and delete the semicolon in front of the code line. Save the file and restart the game. Pressing Tab should open the in-game console command.
  • If you’re using an Xbox One, go to the pause menu and simultaneously press LB + RB + X + Y.
  • If you’re using a PS4, go to the pause menu and simultaneously press R1 + L1 + Triangle + Square.

Enter “enable cheats (YourPassword)” or “SetCheatPlayer “true/false””

. Many codes require either of these before they will work.

  • If you’re playing in multiplayer mode, you’ll need to prefix any code with “admincheat.” If you’re playing singleplayer, you don’t need the prefix.
  • Try “admincheat fly” to hover over the ground, which can make scouting the map easier. Type “admincheat walk” to remove the flying cheat.
  • There are so many cheat codes you can use, so if you want to see a comprehensive list, you can see them here. However, many of the most popular codes include:admincheat addexperience 0 admincheat AllowPlayerToJoinNoCheck admincheat DisallowPlayerToJoinNoCheck admincheat Ban admincheat Unban admincheat Broadcast admincheat DamageTarget admincheat DestroyAll admincheat forcetameadmincheat GiveItemNum admincheat godadmincheat KickPlayer
