About

The Mek is a large, bipedal mechanical creature native to the Extinction map. Classified as a Fantasy-type creature, it functions as a piloted combat platform rather than a traditional tamed animal, giving players direct control over a heavily armored machine in battle.

Admins working with Extinction servers will encounter the Mek as a key endgame unit. Its entity ID Mek_Character_BP_C is the reliable handle to use when spawning, managing, or scripting around this creature via server commands.

Because the Mek is tied exclusively to the Extinction DLC, it will not appear on other maps without content transfer enabled. Keep that in mind when configuring cross-map sessions or troubleshooting missing spawns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Mek Creature blueprint path?
The Mek Creature blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Mek/Mek_Character_BP.Mek_Character_BP'". Keep the wrapping quotes: SpawnDino and the other path-based admin commands need them to read the path as one argument. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
How do I spawn the Mek Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon Mek_Character_BP_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
What is the Mek Creature?
