Getting game items
Ark has hundreds of items for you to use in your daily life as a survivor. The process to obtain them is more complex, but nothing impossible to understand. Basically the main code for the items is:
- giveitemnum (itemID) (quantity) (quality) false
Let's say you want a Shotgun ammo. You will type:
- giveitemnum 268 1 0 false
In case you want ALL other item codes, user Jason Frazer has discovered and created a spreadsheet with over 10 pages of object commands.
