Is the Charge Lantern spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Charge Lantern'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.
Can I get the Charge Lantern without spawning it?
Yes. The Charge Lantern 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.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Charge Lantern?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Charge Lantern. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What do the numbers in the Charge Lantern spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge 1 0 0, the code identifies the Charge Lantern, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Charge Lantern.
Can I spawn the Charge Lantern over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge 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 is the blueprint path for the Charge Lantern?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge/PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge.PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge/PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge.PrimalItem_WeaponRadioactiveLanternCharge'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

Both point at the same Charge Lantern.
How do I spawn multiple Charge Lantern at once?

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