Frequently Asked Questions

How do I open the console to spawn the Grappling Hook?

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 Grappling Hook spawn code from this page.

How do I give myself the Grappling Hook with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_GrapplingHook 1 0 0. That gives you one Grappling Hook 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 is the Grappling Hook used for?

The Grappling Hook is ammo consumed by the Grappling Hook gun. Each shot fires one hook; you need a supply on hand to use the gun effectively for climbing and mobility.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Grappling Hook?

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 Grappling Hook spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

How do I spawn multiple Grappling Hook at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_GrapplingHook 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Grappling Hook. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

Is the Grappling Hook a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Grappling Hook 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 Grappling Hook over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_GrapplingHook 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 Grappling Hook spawn command working?

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

Is the Grappling Hook blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_GrapplingHook.PrimalItemAmmo_GrapplingHook'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

How do I add the Grappling Hook to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_GrapplingHook 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.

Does the Grappling Hook 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 Grappling Hook then spawns the same way.

How do I spawn the Grappling Hook as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

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