PVP Scoreboard
In the chaotic world of ARK: Survival Ascended, knowing exactly how you stack up against rival tribes is more than just bragging rights—it is a survival necessity. The PVP Scoreboard add-on brings a long-requested feature to the game: a clean, cross-platform scoreboard that tracks your player-versus-player performance in real time. Whether you are leading a raid or defending your base, this mod gives you the data you need to make smarter tactical decisions.
What Does PVP Scoreboard Do?
This mod is built for competitive players who want immediate feedback on their combat efficiency. Once installed, a new button appears on your pause menu. Press it, and a full scoreboard pops up, displaying the following stats for every player on the server:
- Player Name
- Level
- Kills
- Deaths
- K/D Ratio
- Kill Streak
The interface is clean and unobtrusive, designed to be read at a glance during intense PVP encounters. You do not need to open any external menus or type console commands to see where you stand—just hit that pause menu button and the information is right there.
How PVP Tracking Works in ARK: Survival Ascended
It is important to understand exactly what this mod tracks. Currently, PVP Scoreboard for ARK: Survival Ascended only counts player-versus-player kills. That means if you take down an enemy survivor with a rifle, a sword, or a well-aimed grenade, that kill is recorded. However, if a player is killed by an unridden dinosaur—whether it is a wild Rex or a tamed Giga that is not being ridden at the moment—that death will not be added to the scoreboard. This keeps the stats focused purely on direct player combat, which is exactly what most PVP tribes want to measure.
Admin Controls and Friendly Fire Prevention
Server admins have full control over the scoreboard data. If things get messy or you simply want a fresh start for a new season, you can wipe all stats using the console command: cheat scriptcommand Wipepvp. This is perfect for resetting the board after a major server wipe or a scheduled tournament.
One of the most valuable features for tribe leaders is the built-in friendly fire protection. By default, the mod includes an INI setting that prevents players from killing their own tribe or alliance members just to pad their kill count. The setting is controlled in your server configuration under:
[PVPScoreboard]
DisableFriendly=TrueThis setting is true by default, which means you do not have to worry about sneaky tribe members farming kills off each other. If you want to allow friendly kills to count, simply change the value to False. This level of control makes the mod suitable for both hardcore competitive servers and more casual PVP communities.
Cross-Platform Support and Mod Compatibility
One of the biggest selling points of this add-on is its cross-platform nature. The mod has been fully ported to ARK: Survival Ascended, meaning it works across different platforms where the game is available. This is a huge win for players who switch between PC and console or who play on servers with a mixed player base. The mod is lightweight and does not interfere with other popular mods, making it a safe addition to any modded server stack. It is compatible with the current versions of ASA, and the developer actively maintains it to keep up with game updates.
How to Install PVP Scoreboard
Getting started is straightforward. To download PVP Scoreboard, head to the mod page on the official ARK mod repository or your preferred mod manager. The installation process is the same as any other ASA mod: subscribe to the mod, add it to your server's mod list, and restart the server. For single-player or non-dedicated sessions, simply enable the mod in the game's mod menu before loading your world.

Why Your Server Needs This Mod
In the heat of a PVP battle, it is easy to lose track of who is actually contributing to the fight. The PVP Scoreboard eliminates the guesswork. Tribe leaders can use the K/D ratio to identify their strongest fighters and assign them to key roles during raids. Players can track their own kill streaks to know when they are on a hot streak and should push the advantage. It also adds a competitive layer to everyday gameplay, encouraging players to improve their skills and engage in more player combat rather than relying solely on dinosaur warfare.
