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

Q: What is the Sabertooth spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Saber_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 Sabertooth 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 Sabertooth 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 "Saber_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Saber/Saber_Character_BP.Saber_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Sabertooth 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 Saber_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Sabertooth internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Saber/Saber_Character_BP.Saber_Character_BP.

ARK Sabertooth FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Sabertooth do in ARK?

A fast, agile carnivore with exceptional harvesting claws — it yields unusually high amounts of Hide, Pelt, Chitin, Keratin, and Organic Polymer from carcasses. Headshots against it deal 3x damage, and it delivers significant knockback with its melee attacks. Sabertooth is a carnivore. Typically found in groups of 2–6 on mountains and cold biomes — engaging one often means fighting the pack. Preferred taming food is Regular Kibble; can be bola-trapped for safer knockout.

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

All abilities use standard controls: primary attack button for bite/claw, spacebar/jump to leap. No radial menu required. Can fire ranged weapons while mounted. Level Melee Damage to increase harvesting yield from carcasses — this directly scales the amount of Chitin, Keratin, Organic Polymer, and Hide gathered. Level Stamina for sustained cave exploration and combat. Its small size fits many caves; use bolas on wild Sabertooths before taming to prevent them from fleeing into pack reinforcements.

What is the Sabertooth good for in ARK?

Harvesting Hide, Pelt, Chitin, Keratin, and Organic Polymer; cave exploration (small enough to fit most entrances); early-to-mid game combat mount; scouting/travel due to high speed and reduced fall damage.
