ARK Aimbots, Map Mods and ESP Hacks

These kinds of hacks all make use of the fact that the game, in order for you to play it, has to be rendered on your PC first. – This allows a skilled coder to extract the location of any mob, player or any other map object on a server, even items. These can now be highlighted on your screen, aimed at automatically or can be shown on a custom map overlay. Aimbots are especially powerful when using bows and guns in PvP, since most dinosaurs are quite easy to aim at. ESP hacks are useful in figuring out the level and location of certain dinos at a distance, since the ESP can extract almost any kind of data about an ingame object and display it to you. Map mods can also track the paths you have previously taken, allowing you to easily find places on the map where your previously were, died or saw something interesting. – This is especially awesome if you are looking to retrieve some loot you lost in a fight. Map mods are also able to show rare drops on the map and in combination with teleporting software can be quite a nice way to get awesome gear, crafting materials and other goodies.

ARK Client-Sided hacks

Unless you own your own server, there is simply no way to change important values in the game like your level, items, inventory, gear, Health, Stamina, Oxygen, Food, Weight, Melee Damage, Movement Speed, Fortitude, Crafting Speed, Torpor, Engram Points or Stat Points. This is due to the fact that these values are all processed on the server and cannot be hacked using any legal means. However, there are still some hacks that are possible using your game client: You are able to teleport short and long distances by using teleporting mods, though this may get patched in the future, you are able to climb up walls and walk through walls using noclip and climbing cheats, you are able to fly using nogravitiy hacks and so on. In the early stages of the game it was even possible to get unlimited raw meat for traveling long distances and having unlimited food forever, but that got fixed. These kinds of smaller hacks are a lot harder to find than the main stream ones, but may still prove useful if you happen to come across one.

Do Ark Hacks Work for DLC Expansion Packs as well?
Yes indeed aim bot and wall hack software will work for the DLC expansions, such as “Scorched Earth” and the free DLC packs as well. Any quality product will have been patched to work with all current versions of the game that are available to players.

Is it possible to Download God Modes and Unlimited Item Hacks?
ARK is an online multiplayer game and therefore a lot of the data, including your health, your inventory, weapons, guns, armor and so on are stored on the game server and therefore cannot be changed using any hack of program on your side. However, it would be possible to set up a private server or server emulator for you to give yourself items, god mode ect if you have unfettered Admin privileges to the server.
