ARK: Survival Ascended Creative Mode Tutorial

Once creative mode is enabled on your ARK: SA server or single-player save, you’ll have access to many new powers. Few of these are passive abilities, while others are more involved. Players with creative mode will notice these immediately, but a brief overview of them can help you learn how to use them effectively. Check out the possibilities down below to begin playing with cheats.

Passive Abilities

Flight and godmode are the two primary abilities players have in creative mode. ARK: Survival Ascended provides you with the opportunity to fly through the skies and battle dinosaurs without taking damage. Besides these two features, unlimited carrying weight and invulnerability against commands are also available. This means you can have endless amounts of materials in your inventory, while also being completely immortal from other admins. Keep these features in mind while you use creative mode in-game, as they may determine life or death.

Crafting Powers

As for crafting, players with creative mode in ARK: SA have all engrams unlocked. Combine this with the ability to instantly craft without needing materials means you can make anything in-game. These features prove to be the most useful when building bases, taming dinosaurs, and testing out the best equipment. Besides this, creating high-level items also grants you extra points to spend on stats. This might be counterproductive since you’re already in godmode with unlimited resources, but can seriously level up your character if creative mode is disabled.

Admin Rifle

Another unique feature from creative mode is the Admin Rifle, an exclusive item that serves multiple purposes. While equipping this tool in ARK: Survival Ascended, players can right-click to cycle through three functions: blink, inspect, and destroy. The first allows you to instantly teleport around the map in short distances, while the second gives you the ability to lookup any object’s information. Last but not least, the third function grants you the ultimate power to destroy anything. This tool does have durability, so repairing is necessary after extended usage.
