Syntax

Console syntax

cheat GFI <Blueprint / GFI> <Amount> <Quality> <Force Blueprint>

Arguments

blueprint / gfi type: gfi code: The blueprint of the item you wish to add. You can include just part of the blueprint (provided it is unique).
amount type: number: The amount of the item(s) you wish to give.
quality type: number: The quality you wish the item(s) to have.
force blueprint type: boolean: Specify '0' to add the item to your inventory, '1' to add the blueprint of the item to your inventory.

About

GFI is the primary console command for spawning items on demand. Unlike GiveItem, which requires a numeric item ID, GFI accepts a blueprint class name or GFI code, often just a unique substring of it, making it faster and more readable for one-off spawns.

Pass the quantity you want, the quality level (0 for primitive up through higher tiers), and a final flag to decide whether you receive the finished item (0) or its blueprint (1). You can omit or shorten the blueprint argument if the partial string is unique across all items in the game.

This command works from the console on any server where cheats are enabled. It's essential for admins stocking farms, testing recipes, or replacing lost gear without resorting to the slower admin panel.
