Every Pirate spawn command

The full set — wild, tamed, leveled, and the advanced blueprint form. Tap Copy, paste in the console.

CommandWhat it does
cheat summon Pirate_Character_BP_Base_CSpawns a wild Pirate at your location (random level).
cheat SummonTamed Pirate_Character_BP_Base_CSpawns a tamed Pirate at a random level — instant, no level control.
cheat gmsummon "Pirate_Character_BP_Base_C" 150Spawns a tamed Pirate at a set level (still needs a saddle). 150 here ≈ level 225 after the taming bonus.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Dinos/Bots/Pirates/Base/Pirate_Character_BP_Base.Pirate_Character_BP_Base'" 500 0 0 150Advanced: spawns a wild Pirate 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 Pirate_Character_BP_Base_C is what ARK calls the Pirate internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/Genesis/Dinos/Bots/Pirates/Base/Pirate_Character_BP_Base.Pirate_Character_BP_Base.

ARK Pirate FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What is the Pirate spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Pirate_Character_BP_Base_C to spawn a wild Pirate in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Pirate_Character_BP_Base_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Pirate at a specific level?
Use the builder above, or cheat gmsummon "Pirate_Character_BP_Base_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 Pirate'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 Pirate 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 Pirate?
Yes — Pirate has 5 spawnable variants (Pirate (Pistol), Pirate (Longneck), Pirate (Sword & Shield), Pirate (Bola & Club), Pirate Captain (Miniboss)). Each has its own class name, in the builder's Variant dropdown and the variants table.
