Frequently Asked Questions

Which game is the Cannon Shell from?
The Cannon Shell is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.
Is the Cannon Shell spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Cannon Shell'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 blueprint path for the Cannon Shell?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell.PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell.PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
How do I spawn the Cannon Shell as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell 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 give myself the Cannon Shell with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell 1 0 0. That gives you one Cannon Shell 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.
What's the Cannon Shell class name?
The class name for the Cannon Shell is PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell_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 Cannon Shell class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Cannon Shell by its class PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell_C or GFI PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
What do the numbers in the Cannon Shell spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell 1 0 0, the code identifies the Cannon Shell, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Cannon Shell.
What is the GFI code for the Cannon Shell?

Can I spawn the Cannon Shell over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell 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.
Does the Cannon Shell 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 Shell then spawns the same way.
How do I spawn multiple Cannon Shell at once?

The GFI code PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell.PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Cannon Shell.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Cannon Shell?
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 Shell spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Cannon Shell?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Cannon Shell. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
Is the Cannon Shell blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell.PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell'" 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 add the Cannon Shell to a starter kit or loadout?

Why isn't my Cannon Shell spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_CannonShell 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
Can I get the Cannon Shell without spawning it?
Yes. The Cannon Shell 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.
