While theARK 2release date remains vague, fans of theworld of dinosaurshave found an excellent way to have fun inARK: Survival Ascended. The improved world of dinosaurs absorbed all the best fromARK: Survival Evolveand reworked the gameplay based on the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5.
However, the slight reduction in the maximum level of dinosaurs became a thorn in the side of every fan. Some say that this isn’t a problem and you can get used to the innovation, but for those wanting to increase max dino level inARK: Survival Ascended, here’s how to do it.
ARK: Survival Ascended: How to Change Max Dino Level
First of all, it is worth clearing up a few details. The ability to increase your dinosaur level cap inARK: Survival Ascendedis not a built-in in-game feature. So, the only way to do this is to go into the game files and change them. If you play on an online server, you’re able to not increase the maximum level ofwild and tamed dinosaurs. The exception is servers on which you have administrator privileges.
However, if you are the lucky owner of a private server, increasing the max dino level inARK: Survival Ascendedis a matter of 5 minutes. Here’s how to do it:
This is what the code should look like, which you should insert into the GameUserSettings file under the [ServerSettings] line:
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10
The next step is to launchARK: Survival Ascended, then go toGame RulesandWorld tab. SetMaximum DifficultytoOff. Otherwise, the maximum dinosaur level will remain at 150 regardless of the changes you set.
All you must do now is go into the game world and check out the result. However, keep in mind that old dinosaurs that appeared before will not be able toincrease their level. So, you will have to kill the entire current generation to make way for younger andmore powerful ones. To do this, open the in-game command line by pressing~and enterDestroyWildDinosto destroy all wild dinosaurs. Don’t worry, this command will not affect already tamed individuals. After all the creatures die out, the world will begin to be filled with creatures with new level limits.
