Spawn a tamed Diplodocus 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.

cheat gmsummon "Diplodocus_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Diplodocus FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Diplodocus do in ARK?
A harmless knockback "push" attack that deals zero damage but launches targets with substantial force, making it the only dinosaur that cannot directly kill through its own attacks. It also provides 10 passenger seats on its saddle in addition to the rider. Diplodocus is a herbivore. The Diplodocus is the only creature in the game that accepts both knockout taming and passive taming — passive taming requires no combat, simply approach and feed repeatedly. Its attacks never trigger enemy AI aggression because they deal zero damage.
How do you use the Diplodocus's ability in ARK?
Left click (PC) / RT / R2 / ZR activates the push attack while mounted. The 10 passenger slots are accessible via the saddle — up to 10 tribe members can ride simultaneously, each able to fire their own weapons from its back. For combat: position armed passengers on one flank and use the knockback to shove enemies off cliffs or into hazards — the Diplo itself takes no aggro from attacking. Level Stamina, Weight, and Speed for transport; level Health and Speed for a knockback-tank battle role. Its large size means creatures like Quetzals cannot pick it up. You can also station yourself underneath its belly — outside push range — as a safe firing position during taming operations.
What is the Diplodocus good for in ARK?
Multi-passenger transport across dangerous terrain, coordinated group combat (armed passengers + knockback), terrain clearing (large enough to knock over trees), safe companion during taming operations due to zero-damage attacks.
What is the Diplodocus spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Diplodocus_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Diplodocus in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Diplodocus_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Diplodocus at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Diplodocus_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.
What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?
summon drops a wild Diplodocus 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.
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.
Are there other versions of the Diplodocus?
Yes — Diplodocus has 1 spawnable variant (Aberrant Diplodocus). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
