Frequently Asked Questions

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_ChainSaw 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.

Does the Chainsaw 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 Chainsaw then spawns the same way.

What does the Chainsaw do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A melee tool for harvesting wood and thatch from trees, spawnable via GFI code for admin testing or distribution.

How current is the Chainsaw spawn info?

The Chainsaw 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 Chainsaw GFI short code?

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

How do I open the console to spawn the Chainsaw?

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 Chainsaw spawn code from this page.

What is the Chainsaw used for?

The Chainsaw is a crafted melee weapon that deals damage and harvests wood and thatch when used on trees. It consumes fuel (gasoline) while in use and has limited durability, making it useful for large-scale harvesting but not a permanent solution.

What do the numbers in the Chainsaw spawn command mean?

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Chainsaw?

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

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

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

Can I get the Chainsaw without spawning it?

Yes. The Chainsaw 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 items are related to the Chainsaw?

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

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

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

Is the Chainsaw spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Chainsaw'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.

Which game is the Chainsaw from?

The Chainsaw 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 do I spawn a higher-quality Chainsaw?

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

How do I spawn multiple Chainsaw at once?

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

Where can I copy the Chainsaw spawn command?

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

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Chainsaw?

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

Why isn't my Chainsaw spawn command working?

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

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

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

Is the Chainsaw blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/WeaponChainsaw/PrimalItem_ChainSaw.PrimalItem_ChainSaw'" 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 spawn the Chainsaw in ARK: Survival Ascended?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_ChainSaw 1 0 0. That gives you one Chainsaw 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 Chainsaw class name?

The class name for the Chainsaw is PrimalItem_ChainSaw_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.

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

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