About

The X-Rex (Retrieve) is a mission-specific variant of the X-Rex found in the Genesis DLC. It belongs to the Dinosaur creature type and carries the name tag X-Rex, but its distinct entity ID, Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Retrieve_C, marks it as a separate spawn tied to retrieve mission content rather than standard world spawns.

Admins targeting this creature directly, whether to force-spawn it for testing or to manage mission encounters, should use its full entity ID rather than the base X-Rex identifier. Using the wrong ID will spawn the standard variant and not this mission-context version.

Because this creature is exclusive to Genesis, it will not appear or function correctly outside that map's mission framework. Keep that in mind when configuring cross-map events or spawn overrides.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn a tamed X-Rex (Retrieve) Creature?
Open the admin console and run cheat GMSummon "Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Retrieve_C" 150. GMSummon spawns a tamed X-Rex (Retrieve) Creature at the given level (150 here); change the number to set the level. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
How do I spawn a X-Rex (Retrieve) Creature at an exact level and position?
Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Dinos/MissionVariants/Retrieve/Volcanic/Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Retrieve.Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Retrieve'" 0 0 0 0. SpawnDino takes the full blueprint path followed by spawn distance, Y offset, Z offset and level, so you can place the X-Rex (Retrieve) Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
How do I spawn a wild X-Rex (Retrieve) Creature?
Run cheat Summon Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Retrieve_C in the admin console. Summon spawns a wild, untamed X-Rex (Retrieve) Creature at your location. Use GMSummon instead if you want it pre-tamed.

Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon Volcano_Rex_Character_BP_Retrieve_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
