How to Use Admin Commands ARK PC

Here’s How to Use Admin Commands on PC!

In order to use admin commands on PC, you should get into the admin console area which is incredibly simple, though many of those commands will not work if that’s not your server you’re currently playing on.

To use admin commands on PC, you can hit the ‘Tab’ key to take out the admin console. You can then press the ‘Tab’ key again to pull up a larger version of the console on the top half of the screen.

Before you enter any commands using the admin console, you should enable the future commands first by typing ‘EnableCheats’ in the console, followed by the server’s password and tapping ‘Enter’.

If you play a solo single player local map and have no server password, you just simply type EnableCheats with nothing else after it and press ‘Enter’ to get started.

Well, you should remember that you still need to pull up the console each time you desire to enter a new command after that by tapping ‘Tab’ or using the controller button combo.

Here’s a list of admin commands that you can use on PC:

Flying

AdminCheat Fly  is one of the most useful commands once enabling cheats. It will let you move in any direction and stay hovering in the air. You can then easily access hard-to-reach areas, scout the entire map, and also find out where the specific dinos are spawning while Fly is active.

If you want to go back to normal, you just simply type AdminCheatWalk to turn off this mode. Otherwise, you do not type this while you’re far up in the air as your survivor will die.

Spawning Dinos

How to spawn dinos and all creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved? However, it’s such an easy way to use the admin commands where it does not require to look for some specific codes. There are at least six different commands to spawn individual creatures.

However, the easiest command is ‘Summon’ then followed by the ID code of the creatures. If you type correct code, dino will spawn wherever you’re currently working. For example, if you want a Mosasaurus to appear, you can take out the admin console and type Summon Mosa_Character_BP_C and then tap the ‘Enter’. Meanwhile, if you do not want an aggressive creature to attack you or want it immediately tamed, you can use SummonTamed command and be followed by the Creature’s ID.

Taming Creatures

The easiest commands to tame creatures are DoTame (where it does not require the AdminCheat precursor) and ForceTame. Both commands automatically tame whatever creatures you’re currently working.

The difference is that DoTame command acts as though you tamed the creatures naturally which include sound effect, experience points and many more. While, ForceTame passes everyting which allows you to ride the animal as soon as possible without having to craft a saddle.

How to use admin commands on other platforms?

    • For PS4, you can access the pause menu and press R1+L1+TRIANGLE+SQUARE simultaneously.
    • For Xbox One, you can go to the pause menu and press LB+RB+X+Y simultaneously to bring  the admin bar.

Of course, the command will take more time to input if you’re not playing on a PC as you need to type each individual letter using your controller with the on-screen keyboard.
