Ark Survival Ascended: All console commands & how to use
Studio WildcardPlayers can get full control of their Ark Survival Ascended servers and everything in them by using the proper cheat codes. To help you turn yourself into an almighty being, here’s every console command in the game.
Console commands (aka exec commands) are lines of code that you can run in a particular game to take control of it in an advanced or different way. Ark: Survival Ascended is one of those games and its console commands act like cheat codes if used properly.
One thing you must know is that you can use console commands in the game only if you’re a server owner. Otherwise, you just have to play according to the rules of the server you’re joining.
With that said, here’s a list of all the console commands and how you can use them in Ark: Survival Ascended.
