Frequently Asked Questions

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

Which game is the Compound Bow from?

The Compound Bow 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 multiple Compound Bow at once?

What do the numbers in the Compound Bow spawn command mean?

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

Is the Compound Bow a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Compound Bow is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow 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 spawn a higher-quality Compound Bow?

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

Does the Compound Bow 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 Compound Bow then spawns the same way.

What's the Compound Bow class name?

The class name for the Compound Bow is PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow_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.

A mid-tier ranged weapon that fires arrows with moderate damage and accuracy, useful for hunting and PvP without requiring gunpowder.

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow 1 0 0. That gives you one Compound Bow 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 difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Compound Bow?

The Compound Bow 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.

Run cheat GiveItemNum 372 1 0 0 in the admin console. GiveItemNum spawns by numeric ID, which is precise for scripts and control panels. The trailing numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

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

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

Why isn't my Compound Bow spawn command working?

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

What is the GFI code for the Compound Bow?

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Compound Bow?

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

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow 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.

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

How do I give the Compound Bow to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 372 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 372 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Compound Bow during events and giveaways.

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

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow.PrimalItem_WeaponCompoundBow'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Compound Bow.

Is the Compound Bow blueprint path case-sensitive?
