ARK Compy Spawn Command (2026) — Tamed, Wild & Leveled

Q: What is the Compy spawn command in ARK?

Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Compy_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Compy in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Compy_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.

Q: How do I spawn a tamed Compy at a specific level?

Use cheat gmsummon "Compy_Character_BP_C" <level>. The number is the pre-tame level — ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus, so a value of 100 ends up around level 150. To hit a target level, divide it by 1.5. A gmsummon creature still needs a saddle to ride.

Q: What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?

summon drops a wild Compy at a random level. SummonTamed gives you a tamed one but at a random level you can't set. gmsummon spawns it tamed at the level you specify — the one most people want.

Q: Do ARK spawn commands work in single player and on servers?

Yes. In single player the cheat prefix is optional and no password is needed. On a dedicated or non-dedicated session you must run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> once, then prefix each spawn with cheat. Set that admin password without hand-editing files using our free ARK config generators.

Spawn a tamed Compy at any level

gmsummon spawns it already tamed. Set the level below — it's the pre-tame level, and ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus on top, so the final creature lands higher. Change the number, copy, paste.

Pre-tame level

cheat gmsummon "Compy_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

A gmsummon-tamed Compy still needs a saddle — it isn't force-tamed. Want it instantly, level aside? Use cheat SummonTamed Compy_Character_BP_C (random level).

Command	What it does
cheat summon Compy_Character_BP_C	Spawns a wild Compy at your location (random level).
cheat SummonTamed Compy_Character_BP_C	Spawns a tamed Compy at a random level — instant, no level control.
cheat gmsummon "Compy_Character_BP_C" 150	Spawns a tamed Compy at a set level (still needs a saddle). 150 here ≈ level 225 after the taming bonus.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Compy/Compy_Character_BP.Compy_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Compy at level 150, 500 units in front of you, using the full blueprint path.

On a server, every line needs the cheat prefix and a one-time enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword>. The class name Compy_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Compy internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Compy/Compy_Character_BP.Compy_Character_BP.

ARK Compy FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Compy do in ARK?

Passive Pack Boost: when near other allied Compys, each additional pack member beyond the first grants +30% extra Melee Damage and +10% damage resistance, scaling up to 8 bonus members (9 total Compys). Can be shoulder-mounted by the player. Compy is a carnivore. Tamed with Raw Prime Meat (preferred). Compy Eggs produce Simple Kibble used to tame Archaeopteryx, Diplocaulus, Gallimimus, Giant Bee, Ichthyosaurus, Iguanodon, Megaloceros, Morellatops, Pachy, Raptor, and Triceratops. The pack bonus only activates between allied (same-tribe) Compys — wild Compys nearby do not count.

How do you use the Compy's ability in ARK?

Place the Compy on your shoulder by picking it up — it will attack nearby small threats automatically from that position. Pack Boost is entirely passive and activates automatically when multiple allied Compys are in proximity. No radial menu or key press needed to trigger the pack bonus. Level Health to keep shoulder-mounted Compys alive — they are extremely fragile. For a Compy pack used as a ground swarm, level Health and Melee Damage, and prioritize bred/imprinted specimens; a fully boosted pack of 9 high-level Compys can kill Rex-tier creatures. Items in a shoulder-mounted Compy's inventory weigh 50% less to the player.

What is the Compy good for in ARK?

Shoulder pet companion, small threat harassment while mounted, pack swarm tactics against large targets, weight reduction for carried items, Compy Egg production (for Simple Kibble).
