ARK Scorched Earth: All Weather Console Commands

While the weather in ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth can pose one of the most lethal threats on the map, you don't have to subject yourself to its dangers if console commands are available to you. The game provides numerous weather-changing commands specifically tailored for this DLC, and being familiar with them can prove extremely beneficial for your solo adventures.

So, if you're eager to learn how to manipulate the weather in Scorched Earth, you've come to the right place. Below, we'll outline all the console commands you can utilize to alter the weather in ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.

All Weather Console Commands In ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth

For those who aren't familiar with the console commands in ARK Survival Ascended and how they work, we urge you to check out our comprehensive console command guide here first. Once you have the basics down of how to input the commands, you can move on to using the commands for weather on Scorched Earth.

At the time of writing, there are eight console commands that you can use in Scorched Earth to start or stop certain weather events. These commands all begin with the "CE" prefix, standing for Scorched Earth, and are listed below for your convenience:

• cheat CE start_superheat
• cheat CE stop_superheat
• cheat CE start_sandstorm
• cheat CE stop_sandstorm
• cheat CE start_electricalstorm
• cheat CE stop_electricalstorm
• cheat CE start_rain
• cheat CE stop_rain

These commands are also fairly self-explanatory: the start_X command will initiate the weather system, and the stop_X will halt the weather system. For an easier time using the commands, you can also just type in the name of the weather system you want into the console. For example, typing "sandstorm" will bring up the start and stop sandstorm commands, so you won't have to copy and paste the codes repeatedly.

It's also worth noting that these commands, especially the larger weather systems, can take some time to kick in. For instance, starting a sandstorm will take a few in-game minutes to actually spawn in and finally reach the map, and stopping it will also take some time for it to dissipate.

As a final tip, if you're looking to explore the sandstorms in particular, then we recommend checking out our Desert cloth armor guide here, as the goggles will be crucial to safely navigating the sandstorm as it can be quite dangerous inside. And that's all there is to it; now you can use any of these commands to summon any weather system you want in ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.
