Visibility

Less clutter.
Longer sightlines.

INI Builder · PvP Visibility

One-click PvP Visibility.

The INI Builder’s PvP Visibility preset sets 24 keys in GameUserSettings.ini: ground clutter, its density and its radius to zero, the full view distance, shadows, post-processing and sky quality at their lowest, bloom and light shafts off, and no motion blur, film grain or VSync. A backup is made before it applies.

INI Changer · Stalker presets

Presets tuned for spotting.

In the INI Changer, Hard Stalker is tuned for long-range PvP visibility and Stalker for spotting players and dinos. One click applies either, after a backup of the old file. All twelve presets are on the ARK INI Changer page.

ARK Tweaks · Gamma

ARK gamma.
On a hotkey.

Gamma · Presets & triggers

Six levels, one key.

  • Low 0.50 up to Max 2.50, each adjustable from 0.10 to 2.50
  • Cycle mode: once listening, F13 steps through Normal, Higher, High and Max by default
  • Direct mode: F14 for Normal and F15 for Max by default
  • Any key, F13⁠–⁠F24 included, or mouse button 3, 4 or 5 as a trigger — plus a Logitech G HUB script

Gamma is system-wide: it changes the whole screen, on every monitor or the ones you pick, and the original comes back when RazorReaper closes.

How it works

Three steps to
PvP-ready.

  1. 01

    Download

    Get RazorReaper free for Windows 10 or 11 and install it. It finds Steam ARK: Survival Evolved for you.

  2. 02

    Close ARK

    ARK rewrites GameUserSettings.ini when it exits, so apply INI presets while the game is closed.

  3. 03

    Apply and play

    Apply PvP Visibility in the INI Builder, press Start listening on the Gamma page, then launch ARK.

FAQ

Good to know.

Does gamma only change ARK?

No. Gamma is system-wide: it changes the whole screen, on every monitor or the ones you choose. RazorReaper puts the original gamma back when it closes.

Why does ARK have to be closed?

ARK rewrites GameUserSettings.ini when it exits, so changes made while it runs would be lost. That is why the INI Builder won’t apply while the game is running.

Can I get banned for using it?

RazorReaper makes no promises about anti-cheat or server rules. These settings change ARK’s INI files and your screen’s gamma; they do not modify the game process. Every server has its own rules, so check them. Use is at your own risk.

Are these tools free?

Yes. The INI Builder, the INI Changer, Gamma and Vision Tools have no monthly limit in the free version.
