Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Flak Chestpiece spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Flak Chestpiece'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.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Flak Chestpiece?

Both spawn the Flak Chestpiece. gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalShirt matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 219 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

How do I give the Flak Chestpiece to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 219 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 219 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Flak Chestpiece during events and giveaways.

What is the class name for the Flak Chestpiece?

Is the Flak Chestpiece a DLC item or part of the base game?

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

Does the Flak Chestpiece 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 Flak Chestpiece then spawns the same way.

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalShirt 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 use GiveItemNum for the Flak Chestpiece?

Both point at the same Flak Chestpiece.

How do I spawn multiple Flak Chestpiece at once?
