ARK: Survival Ascended plunges players onto a mysterious, prehistoric island teeming with dinosaurs and other fantastical creatures. It’s your typical survival-crafting, where you’ll invest significant time gathering resources, taming high-level creatures, and breeding. If you’re someone who wants to bypass the grind and build elaborate structures without resource limitations or the threat of wild dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Ascended, you can use cheats.
ARK: Survival Ascended - Difficulty Settings, Explained
Here’s everything you need to know before choosing a difficulty setting in ARK: Survival Ascended.
How To Use Console Commands and Cheats in ARK: Survival Ascended
Admin commands, also known as console commands or cheats, are entered through a unique menu and can be used in single-player mode or on private servers (such as non-dedicated, dedicated, or third-party PC-hosted servers).
Before you can use any commands in ARK: Survival Ascended, you will need to enable console access in the game's settings. Here’s how to do that:
- Open the game menu and go to Settings.
- Choose the "Advanced" tab within the settings.
- On the left-hand side, you'll see "Console Access." By default, it's "Off." Click or select it to turn it "On."
Once console access is enabled, you can open the command console. The steps to opening the console vary by platform:
- PC: Press the ~ (tilde) key. Pressing it again will often full-screen the console. You can also press Tab to review the last command you typed.
- PlayStation: Press L1 + R1 + Triangle + Square simultaneously.
- Xbox: Press LB + RB + Y + X simultaneously.
When the console is open, simply type the command into the input bar. Press Enter after typing the command to execute it.
If you’re not the server owner, you’ll need proper permissions or an admin password to use commands. These can be set in the server settings.
