About

Pliers are a utility tool in ARK: Survival Ascended that allow players to dismantle structures, electrical components, and other placed items without destroying them. Admins use them to recover materials during base rebuilds or to test structure placement without waste.

Pliers do not stack, so each use consumes one tool from your inventory. Spawn them individually with the GFI code when you need to hand them out to players or test dismantling mechanics on your server.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn a higher-quality Pliers?

Can I spawn the Pliers over RCON or on a dedicated server?
