About

The Auto Turret is a placeable defensive structure that targets and engages enemies automatically once powered and set to fire. It requires both a power source and ammunition to function, making it a cornerstone of base defense in PvP and high-difficulty PvE servers.

Admins typically place turrets at entry points, on walls, or in towers to deny access or protect high-value loot. Turrets respect tribe ownership and will not fire on tribe members, making them safe for allied bases. They consume ammunition continuously while active, so stockpile bullets accordingly if defending a large perimeter.

Spawn the turret structure itself directly into your inventory with its GFI code. You will still need to place it, power it, and load ammunition before it becomes operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn multiple Auto Turret at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Auto Turret. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
When was the Auto Turret data last updated?
The Auto Turret entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.
Where can I copy the Auto Turret spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Auto Turret command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Auto Turret?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Auto Turret. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What items are related to the Auto Turret?
See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Auto Turret, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.
How do I give myself the Auto Turret with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 0 0. That gives you one Auto Turret instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
Is the Auto Turret spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Auto Turret's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.
How do I give the Auto Turret to another player?
Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 194 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 194 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Auto Turret during events and giveaways.
What does the Auto Turret do in ARK: Survival Ascended?
A defensive structure that automatically fires on hostile players and creatures within range; placed and powered to defend a base.
How do I add the Auto Turret to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.
How do I spawn the Auto Turret as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).
How do I use GiveItemNum for the Auto Turret?
Run cheat GiveItemNum 194 1 0 0 in the admin console. GiveItemNum spawns by numeric ID, which is precise for scripts and control panels. The trailing numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.
Why isn't my Auto Turret spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_Turret), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Auto Turret?
Both spawn the Auto Turret. gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 194 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
Which game is the Auto Turret from?
The Auto Turret is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.
How do I open the console to spawn the Auto Turret?
On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the Auto Turret spawn code from this page.
Is the Auto Turret a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Auto Turret is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
What is the GFI code for the Auto Turret?
The GFI code for the Auto Turret is PrimalItemStructure_Turret. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
What's the difference between the Auto Turret GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_Turret is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_Turret.PrimalItemStructure_Turret'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Auto Turret.
What is the item ID for the Auto Turret?
The numeric item ID for the Auto Turret is 194. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 194 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Auto Turret?
In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Auto Turret spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
Can I get the Auto Turret without spawning it?
Yes. The Auto Turret 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 Auto Turret over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 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.
Is the Auto Turret blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_Turret.PrimalItemStructure_Turret'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
What's the Auto Turret class name?
The class name for the Auto Turret is PrimalItemStructure_Turret_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.
What is the Auto Turret class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Auto Turret by its class PrimalItemStructure_Turret_C or GFI PrimalItemStructure_Turret. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
What is the Auto Turret used for?

What do the numbers in the Auto Turret spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Turret 1 0 0, the code identifies the Auto Turret, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Auto Turret.
What's the full blueprint path of the Auto Turret?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_Turret.PrimalItemStructure_Turret'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_Turret.PrimalItemStructure_Turret'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Does the Auto Turret spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?
Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Auto Turret then spawns the same way.
