There’s plenty to do in Ark: Survival Evolved, but once you’ve tamed its great beasts and explored all its nooks and crannies you might be craving for a bit of added fun that only console commands and cheats can offer.
Sometimes, you may also just want to get somewhere faster or give yourself god powers. Or, perhaps you’ve grown to dislike a structure you’ve placed down a while ago or a creature that just won’t leave you alone. Ark: Survival Evolved console commands and cheats provide rather simple solutions for situations like these and more.
Ark: Survival Evolved Console Commands Cheats
If you intend on using Ark: Survival Evolved cheats and console commands in singleplayer, all you’re required to do is press Tab to open the console – a box will appear at the bottom of your screen – and enter the desired cheat or console command.
In multiplayer, the process is a bit more complicated. You’ll first need to input EnableCheats <password>. That should let you use cheats on that particular server. It’s also worth keeping in mind that some cheats might require being preceeded by admincheat.
