ARK Dreadnoughtus Spawn Command

A colossal armored sauropod with a platform saddle and an EMP Roar that disables all Tek technology on targets hit. Its Titan Slayer passive grants up to +50% damage and damage resistance when near creatures with a Drag Weight of 1,000 or more, making it purpose-built for fighting Titans. It also has a Vomit Cannon (secondary attack) that fires acid-coated cannon balls — consuming a literal Cannon Ball from its inventory — capable of knocking out hard-headed creatures like Rock Elementals, Karkinos, Titanosaurs, and Astrocetus. Dreadnoughtus is a herbivore. Exclusive to Extinction. Its unique taming method requires luring it to an Element Vein (feed it Element to follow for 1 minute), then defending it through 5 waves of corrupted creatures while it eats the vein. Any damage taken by the Dreadnoughtus during taming reduces taming effectiveness — it will not eat while being attacked. It is immune to standard percentage-based bleed effects.

Neck Swing: left click (RT/R2), 1,080 damage, 7.5-second cooldown. Tail Swing: jump key (A/X), 1,080 damage, 7.5-second cooldown. Vomit Cannon: right click (LT/L2), 50 stamina, 10-second cooldown — requires a Cannon Ball in its inventory; deals 2,250 damage to creatures or 1,012 to structures. EMP Roar: F / Special 1, 50 stamina, 120-second cooldown — requires Element in inventory; consumes stacked Disdain charges for increased damage and effect duration. Turn mode: LCtrl toggles it turning on its own axis to camera direction. The Disdain buff stacks up to 20 times when the Dreadnoughtus takes heavy damage — each stack increases EMP Roar damage and duration. Level Health and Damage for the Titan Killer role; level Weight for the Walking Mortar role (artillery on platform saddle). The Vomit Cannon's knockback/damage scales with Melee Damage stat — invest in melee if using it to tame Hard Head creatures. In OSD defense, its massive AoE knockback at a chokepoint can bottleneck corrupted waves; pair with a mounted Yutyrannus and platform-saddle Mammoths for maximum buff stacking.

Titan fights (Titan Slayer passive), platform-saddle walking artillery base, knocking out otherwise-immune creatures (Rock Elemental, Karkinos, Titanosaur, Astrocetus), OSD/Element Vein defense on Extinction, heavy cargo transport (3,000 base weight).

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Dreadnoughtus_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.

summon drops a wild Dreadnoughtus 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.

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.
