Ark: Survival Evolved update v256 finally arrived on PC Friday evening, and it introduced a series of new Dinos and Tek gear for players to experiment with. If you don’t want to scrounge for supplies or waste time hunting, here are the latest admin command cheats courtesy of the game’s official forums.
Before we get to the good stuff, it’s worth reiterating that cheats are best designed for single-player tests or multiplayer servers with cheats enabled. Hit Y on your keyboard and type enablecheats to get started.
