How do you enter Ark: Survival Evolved admin commands? To use an Ark console command, you’ll first need to open the console. This can be done by pressing the TAB key. If this doesn’t work, you’ll need to make a quick adjustment in the game’s .ini file. Head to Steam\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Config\ DefaultInput.ini and open the .ini with Word Pad or similar. Scroll to the bottom of the document to find the line “+ConsoleKeys=Tab". In front of the line will be a semi-colon (;). Delete this, save the .ini file, and the console should now work in-game. Many commands will require the ‘Enable Cheats’ command to be used beforehand, as well as the ‘Enable Cheats for Player’ command. Be sure to use these before attempting to use other commands. Enable Cheats enablecheats <password> Enables server administrator commands for the player. Password required will be the server password. Example: enablecheats pass123 Enable Cheats for Player, Mount, & World setcheatpla
