Why isn't my Chain Bola spawn command working?

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

How do I spawn multiple Chain Bola at once?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Chain Bola?

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