About

The Heavy Auto Turret is a placeable defensive structure that targets and engages threats automatically. Admins use it to test base defense layouts, populate admin arenas, or quickly equip a protected area without manual combat.

Spawn it with its GFI code. The turret requires ammunition and power to operate, so plan your testing setup accordingly. It does not stack, so each spawn creates one placeable unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

When was the Heavy Auto Turret data last updated?
The Heavy Auto Turret 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's the Heavy Auto Turret GFI short code?
The GFI code for the Heavy Auto Turret is PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
How do I give myself the Heavy Auto Turret with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 1 0 0. That gives you one Heavy Auto Turret 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 Heavy Auto Turret?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret.PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret.PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Does the Heavy Auto Turret 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 Heavy Auto Turret then spawns the same way.
How do I add the Heavy Auto Turret to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 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 multiple Heavy Auto Turret at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Heavy Auto Turret. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
Is the Heavy Auto Turret spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Heavy Auto Turret'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.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Heavy Auto Turret?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Heavy Auto Turret. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
Is the Heavy Auto Turret blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret.PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret'" 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 does the Heavy Auto Turret do in ARK: Survival Ascended?
A defensive structure that automatically fires at hostile players and creatures within range; spawnable via GFI code for base protection testing.
Why isn't my Heavy Auto Turret spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What is the Heavy Auto Turret class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Is the Heavy Auto Turret a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Heavy Auto Turret is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
What's the difference between the Heavy Auto Turret GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret.PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Heavy Auto Turret.
Can I spawn the Heavy Auto Turret over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 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.
What do the numbers in the Heavy Auto Turret spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_HeavyTurret 1 0 0, the code identifies the Heavy Auto Turret, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Heavy Auto Turret.

How do I spawn the Heavy Auto Turret as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
