ARK Giganotosaurus FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Giganotosaurus do in ARK?
Has a Rage Meter that fills as it takes damage in a short window. When enraged, its Melee Damage doubles, its eyes glow yellow, and it attacks everything — including allied tames and its own rider, who is thrown off. It also gains health regeneration scaling up to 50 HP per second based on current rage level, and its damage against a target increases by up to 20% as that target's health drops. Its attacks ignore the natural armor of creatures like the Rock Elemental. Giganotosaurus is a carnivore. Cannot be knocked out conventionally — taming requires letting it bite high-health tames (Brontosaurus recommended) until it accumulates torpor from stamina expenditure; torpor gain doubles when it is already enraged. Preferred food after knockout is Exceptional Kibble. Wild Giganotosaurus will attack and kill almost anything on the map including other large predators.
How do you use the Giganotosaurus's ability in ARK?
The Rage Meter is passive — it fills automatically as the Giganotosaurus takes damage. There is no player-controlled ability to activate rage on demand. To avoid triggering rage on a tamed Giga, do not let it take large amounts of damage in a short window (~45% of max health as unmitigated damage will instantly enrage it). Imprinting, Mate Boost, and a Yutyrannus Courage buff all reduce rage meter gain and increase damage output. The double-stomp attack becomes available at maximum rage. Level Health and Melee Damage. Imprint fully — imprint bonus provides resistance against the rage meter filling and scales both damage and health. Keep a Yutyrannus nearby in boss fights to apply the Courage buff (reduces rage meter fill, boosts damage). A pair of fully imprinted Gigas is effective in boss arenas because high-damage boss environments rapidly trigger rage, providing the health regen and damage buff exactly when needed. Never use a tamed Giga in PvP without extreme caution — an enraged Giga will kill its own tribe members. Can break through stone structures. Preferred taming food: Exceptional Kibble, then Raw Mutton.
What is the Giganotosaurus good for in ARK?
Boss fights (rage-fueled damage and health regen scale well in high-damage scenarios), late-game combat, base raiding (can destroy stone), open-world apex predator deterrence.
What is the Giganotosaurus spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Gigant_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Gigant_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Giganotosaurus at a specific level?
Use the builder above, or cheat gmsummon "Gigant_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.
Can I set the Giganotosaurus's level and imprint when I spawn it?
Yes. The builder above generates a single SpawnExactDino command that bakes the level and the imprint into one copy-paste line. The saddle comes as a separate cheat gfi command (it can't ride inside the spawn). To set its colours, spawn it first, then use the ARK Dino Color Builder to build the SetTargetDinoColor commands (with a live preview).
What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?
summon drops a wild Giganotosaurus 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 Giganotosaurus?
Yes. Giganotosaurus has 2 spawnable variants (Tek Giganotosaurus, Corrupted Giganotosaurus). Each has its own class name, in the builder's Variant dropdown and the variants table.
