Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Bear Trap a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Bear Trap is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.

Is the Bear Trap spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Bear Trap'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.

What's the full blueprint path of the Bear Trap?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap.PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap.PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

What is the Bear Trap used for?

The Bear Trap is a placement structure that triggers when a creature or player walks over it, freezing them in place for a short duration. Admins use it to temporarily disable threats, prevent escapes, or control traffic in high-traffic areas without causing damage.

How do I give the Bear Trap to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 379 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 379 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Bear Trap during events and giveaways.

Why isn't my Bear Trap spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.

How do I spawn the Bear Trap as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap 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).

Can I spawn the Bear Trap over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap 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's the numeric item ID of the Bear Trap?

The numeric item ID for the Bear Trap is 379. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 379 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

Does the Bear Trap 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 Bear Trap then spawns the same way.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Bear Trap?

Both spawn the Bear Trap. gfi PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 379 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Is the Bear Trap blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap.PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap'" 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 is the admin command to spawn the Bear Trap?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_BearTrap 1 0 0. That gives you one Bear Trap instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

What's the Bear Trap GFI short code?
