Dino wipe command in Ark: Survival Ascended

The ASA dino wipe command requires you to pause your game to access the Console Commands section in Ark. It can be found in the bottom-left corner of the screen on the pause menu, which is where you need to enter the admin command itself.

Once you’ve opened the Console Commands menu, enter the command: DestroyWildDinos.

The admin command will take a short period of time to come into effect, around 10-20 seconds, and you can expect to see some freezing and lag while the command is processing—as it takes time to kill every wild dinosaur and creature on the map.

Tip: Third time is the charm?

This admin command takes some time to implement, and you may need to attempt the it several times.

After the command is complete, dinosaurs and creatures will begin to respawn back at their normal rate and any new dinosaurs will now be added to the spawn table.
