About

Flak Leggings are heavy leg armor that reduce incoming physical damage significantly. They are a core piece of mid-game combat gear, worn alongside a Flak Chest Plate and other pieces of the Flak set for maximum protection.

They degrade when damaged and require Fiber and Metal Ingot to repair. Admins typically grant them to new players or use them to outfit tamed dinosaurs for tribe warfare and dangerous boss fights. Spawn them directly by item ID using GiveItem or by GFI code; there is no separate blueprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Flak Leggings?
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 Flak Leggings spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
What is the GFI code for the Flak Leggings?
The GFI code for the Flak Leggings is PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
How do I spawn multiple Flak Leggings at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Flak Leggings. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
What does the Flak Leggings do in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Heavy leg armor offering high physical damage reduction; standard military-grade protection for combat and dangerous creatures.
Where can I copy the Flak Leggings spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Flak Leggings command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
Does the Flak Leggings 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 Leggings then spawns the same way.
How do I spawn the Flak Leggings by its item ID?
Run cheat GiveItemNum 218 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 add the Flak Leggings to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 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.
Which game is the Flak Leggings from?
The Flak Leggings 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 open the console to spawn the Flak Leggings?
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 Flak Leggings spawn code from this page.
How do I spawn the Flak Leggings as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 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).
How do I give myself the Flak Leggings with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 1 0 0. That gives you one Flak Leggings 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 full blueprint path of the Flak Leggings?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Metal/PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants.PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Metal/PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants.PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Is the Flak Leggings a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Flak Leggings is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Flak Leggings?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Flak Leggings. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
How current is the Flak Leggings spawn info?
The Flak Leggings 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 is the item ID for the Flak Leggings?
The numeric item ID for the Flak Leggings is 218. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 218 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Flak Leggings?
Both spawn the Flak Leggings. gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 218 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
Can I spawn the Flak Leggings over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 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.
Why isn't my Flak Leggings spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What is the class name for the Flak Leggings?
The class name for the Flak Leggings is PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants_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 give the Flak Leggings to another player?
Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 218 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 218 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Flak Leggings during events and giveaways.
What's the difference between the Flak Leggings GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Metal/PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants.PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Flak Leggings.
What is the Flak Leggings used for?

Yes. The Flak Leggings'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.
Is the Flak Leggings blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Metal/PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants.PrimalItemArmor_MetalPants'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
What do the numbers in the Flak Leggings spawn command mean?
