About

The Artifact of the Brute is a quest item dropped in caves and required to activate the Brute boss fight. Unlike most artifacts, it does not stack and cannot be crafted, making it a one-time pickup per cave run or per map cycle depending on your server's tribute settings.

When you need to spawn one for testing or replacement, use the GFI code. This artifact cannot be blueprinted and does not contribute to weight calculations the way most items do, it is purely functional for boss access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Artifact Of The Brute without spawning it?
Yes. The Artifact Of The Brute can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.
Can I spawn the Artifact Of The Brute over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_12 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.
What is the class name for the Artifact Of The Brute?

What's the difference between the Artifact Of The Brute GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemArtifact_12 is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifact_12.PrimalItemArtifact_12'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Artifact Of The Brute.
Is the Artifact Of The Brute spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
