Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Camera without spawning it?

Yes. The Camera 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.

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

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

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

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

What is the Camera used for?

The Camera is a functional item that players can place to capture photos and video footage of their base, tames, or notable events. Admins typically allow it for documentation purposes, though you may want to restrict placement in PvP arenas or other sensitive areas via structure restrictions.

Why isn't my Camera spawn command working?

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

Which game is the Camera from?

The Camera 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 Camera class used for in mods or spawn tools?

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

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_Camera 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.

Where can I copy the Camera spawn command?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Camera?

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

What items are related to the Camera?

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

When was the Camera data last updated?

The Camera 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.

What's the full blueprint path of the Camera?

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

How do I spawn multiple Camera at once?

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

How do I open the console to spawn the Camera?

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 Camera spawn code from this page.

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_Camera 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 do the numbers in the Camera spawn command mean?

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

Does the Camera 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 Camera then spawns the same way.

Is the Camera blueprint path case-sensitive?

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

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Camera?

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

What's the Camera GFI short code?

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

What is the admin command to spawn the Camera?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_Camera 1 0 0. That gives you one Camera 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 Camera a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Camera 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 class name for the Camera?

The class name for the Camera is PrimalItem_Camera_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.

Is the Camera spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Camera'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 is the Camera?
