What is the blueprint path for the Explosive Arrow?

Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/TekBow/PrimalItemAmmo_ExplosiveArrow.PrimalItemAmmo_ExplosiveArrow'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

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

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Explosive Arrow by its class PrimalItemAmmo_ExplosiveArrow_C or GFI PrimalItemAmmo_ExplosiveArrow. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

How do I spawn multiple Explosive Arrow at once?

Is the Explosive Arrow blueprint path case-sensitive?

How do I give myself the Explosive Arrow with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_ExplosiveArrow 1 0 0. That gives you one Explosive Arrow instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

Why isn't my Explosive Arrow spawn command working?

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

What do the numbers in the Explosive Arrow spawn command mean?

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

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Explosive Arrow?

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 Explosive Arrow spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What's the Explosive Arrow class name?

Does the Explosive Arrow spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_ExplosiveArrow 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.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Explosive Arrow?

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

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

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

Can I get the Explosive Arrow without spawning it?

What is the GFI code for the Explosive Arrow?
