Skins
Skins in
ARK: Survival Evolved and
ARK: Survival Ascended are items that aesthetically alter clothing and other items that can be equipped.
Note that the
Mek skin from the Power Rangers DLC in ASA will alter the Mek's pistol to be a continuous beam instead of a burst pistol.
Obtaining
ARK: Survival Evolved
Many skins can be obtained by unlocking certain achievements, after which survivors will have them in their inventory every time they respawn. Other skins can be unlocked by killing certain creatures. For more information, see the individual skin pages below.
ARK: Survival Ascended
Skins cannot be obtained by completing achievements in ASA and must be crafted during events. Once crafted once, that skin will be permanently available to make an infinite amount of in the cosmetics tab for that survivor alone. Any other survivors you must craft the skin again during an event.

Rex Bone Helmet Skin from an
Alpha Raptor or a
Trike Bone Helmet Skin from an
Alpha T-Rex.

Notes
- Only the Federation Exo Armor and Mjolnir skins may be used on Tek items in ASE, but in ASA, most skins can be applied to Tek items.
- Skins and Costumes can be spawned into the game with admin commands:
Cheat GFI Costume_Top<Name of Skin> 1 0 0(in which gives (1) Top Hat skin.Cheat GFI Costume_BoneRaptor<Name of Costume> 1 0 0(in which gives (1) Bone Raptor Costume.
- A
Torch can be attached to most saddles, such as the
Equus Saddle, similar to the skin function. - The Bionic Dino costumes are not spawned with in Primitive Plus if bought. Likely due to the absence of Tek in Primitive Plus.
- The
Mek skin from the Power Rangers DLC in
ASA will alter the Mek's pistol to be a continuous beam instead of a burst pistol.
