Console and Commands in Ark

Console commands in Ark Survival Evolved are special codes that can be typed into the console to perform actions that are not normally possible. These codes can be thought of as cheats that unlock hidden features.

Admin commands, also known as “cheat” commands, serve a purpose in both single-player mode and private servers, including dedicated, non-dedicated, and PC hosted third-party servers.

These commands provide the ability to engage in “cheating” activities. By utilizing cheat commands, players can swiftly acquire experience, enhance their character’s size, expand their weight capacity limit to an infinite extent, and enjoy various other advantages.

To use console commands, open the console and enter the desired code. Some commands require additional parameters, such as the item ID of the item you want to spawn or the dinosaur ID of the dinosaur you want to tame.

Important Note: Console commands can be considered to be cheats. So, use them with caution and responsibility.

Ark InfiniteStats Command

InfiniteStats is a self-targeted cheat command. While active, the command instantly replenishes the player’s health, stamina, oxygen, food, and water to maximum levels. However, if mounted, these effects only apply to the mount, not the player.

In infinitestats mode, firing weapons doesn’t deplete ammunition from the inventory. However, bullets are still consumed from magazines. When the “NO AMMO” message appears, the magazine can be reloaded by opening/closing the inventory or switching weapons.

Note that this command doesn’t grant invincibility. The player can still be killed by falls or powerful attacks that exceed their maximum health. Carrying capacity is also unaffected.
