Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 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.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Bola?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Bola. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

What is the Bola class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Bola by its class PrimalItem_WeaponBola_C or GFI PrimalItem_WeaponBola. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

What's the Bola GFI short code?

The GFI code for the Bola is PrimalItem_WeaponBola. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

Is the Bola a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Bola 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 Bola?

A throwable weapon that immobilizes targets on impact, useful for taming and PvP crowd control.

How do I add the Bola to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 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.

What do the numbers in the Bola spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 1 0 0, the code identifies the Bola, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Bola.

When was the Bola data last updated?

The Bola 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.

How do I open the console to spawn the Bola?

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 Bola spawn code from this page.

Can I get the Bola without spawning it?

Yes. The Bola 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.

Is the Bola blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponBola.PrimalItem_WeaponBola'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

Is the Bola spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Bola'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 enable admin commands to spawn the Bola?

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 Bola spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

Where can I copy the Bola spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Bola command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

What's the full blueprint path of the Bola?

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

How do I spawn multiple Bola at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Bola. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

What items are related to the Bola?

See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Bola, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.

How do I give myself the Bola with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponBola 1 0 0. That gives you one Bola 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.

Why isn't my Bola spawn command working?

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

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

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

Does the Bola 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 Bola then spawns the same way.

Which game is the Bola from?

The Bola is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

What is the class name for the Bola?

The class name for the Bola is PrimalItem_WeaponBola_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 Bola used for?

The Bola is a melee weapon that wraps around and temporarily stuns creatures and players when thrown. It is essential for taming many mid-tier creatures, as it prevents them from running or attacking while you land tranquilizer shots. In PvP, it serves as a crowd-control tool to disable opponents mid-combat.

What's the difference between the Bola GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponBola is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponBola.PrimalItem_WeaponBola'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Bola.
