Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my Cannon spawn command working?

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

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Cannon 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 Cannon as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Cannon 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 enable admin commands to spawn the Cannon?

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

Which game is the Cannon from?

The Cannon 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 current is the Cannon spawn info?

The Cannon 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.

Is the Cannon spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Cannon'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 Cannon GFI short code?

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

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

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Cannon 1 0 0. That gives you one Cannon 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.

Can I get the Cannon without spawning it?

Yes. The Cannon 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 Cannon class name?

The class name for the Cannon is PrimalItemStructure_Cannon_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 do the numbers in the Cannon spawn command mean?

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Cannon?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Cannon?

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

Does the Cannon 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 Cannon then spawns the same way.

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

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

What is the Cannon used for?

The Cannon is a deployable structure that fires projectiles in a direction you aim. It serves as a defensive fortification on player bases and can be crewed by a single operator.

How do I spawn multiple Cannon at once?

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

Is the Cannon blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_Cannon.PrimalItemStructure_Cannon'" 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 difference between the Cannon GFI code and its blueprint path?

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

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_Cannon 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 open the console to spawn the Cannon?

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 Cannon spawn code from this page.
