Living your best life taming dinosaurs can always be improved with Ark tricks. After all, what good is a litter box if you can’t play? Ark cheats allow you to enter all kinds of console commands to enable god mode, level up, teleport, spawn items, instantly tame dinosaurs, unlock all engrams, and more. These Ark cheats are for single player or multiplayer if you are the server administrator (or if you have been given the server administrator password).
How to use Ark cheats
In single player mode, just type in the cheats to enable them. In multiplayer, if you have the admin password, you will need to type ‘EnableCheats <password>’ before you can use the cheats. Some cheats (while playing on a server) will require the ‘admincheat’ prefix. In single player, you don’t need to worry about a prefix. Just type them in and hit Enter.
