‘Ark: Survival Evolved’ v254 Admin Commands - Cheats To Unlock The Tek Tier & New Dinos

Ark: Survival Evolved was updated to version 254 yesterday, and its Tek Tier and new Dinos mean there’s a whole new set of admin commands to learn. Want to try the new endgame content without reaching the endgame? A new Steam Community post from the game’s developers offers the details.

For those who haven’t used admin commands in Ark before, our best advice is to start a whole new single-player game. That way, these cheats won’t mess with any progress you’ve already made. After that, hit Y on your keyboard and type enablecheats in the window that appears. You should be able to use all of the commands listed below.

If you’re having trouble entering some of these, try removing the version number stuff after the quotes. For example cheat unlockengram "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/TEK/PrimalItemArmor_TekBoots.PrimalItemArmor_TekBoots'" should get you the boots.

Online play with these cheats is allowed, but only if the server you’re on has cheats enabled.
