About

The Hide Hat is a light armor helmet crafted from hide and fiber. It offers modest protection and is typically the first head armor a survivor makes, requiring only basic resources and a mortar and pestle. On early-game servers or fresh-start seasons, admins may spawn these in bulk to equip new players.

Use the numeric item ID or GFI code to spawn it directly. It cannot stack, so each spawn command creates individual copies in your inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hide Hat spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Hide Hat'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 open the console to spawn the Hide Hat?
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 Hide Hat spawn code from this page.
How do I spawn the Hide Hat in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 1 0 0. That gives you one Hide Hat 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.
How do I add the Hide Hat to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 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.
What is the Hide Hat class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Hide Hat by its class PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet_C or GFI PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Why isn't my Hide Hat spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
Which game is the Hide Hat from?
The Hide Hat 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 give the Hide Hat to another player?
Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 24 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 24 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Hide Hat during events and giveaways.
How do I spawn multiple Hide Hat at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Hide Hat. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
What's the Hide Hat GFI short code?
The GFI code for the Hide Hat is PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
Is the Hide Hat blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Leather/PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet.PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

Can I get the Hide Hat without spawning it?
Yes. The Hide Hat can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.
What's the numeric item ID of the Hide Hat?
The numeric item ID for the Hide Hat is 24. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 24 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.
What do the numbers in the Hide Hat spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 1 0 0, the code identifies the Hide Hat, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Hide Hat.
Where can I copy the Hide Hat spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Hide Hat command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
Can I spawn the Hide Hat over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 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.
How do I spawn the Hide Hat as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 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 spawn a higher-quality Hide Hat?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Hide Hat. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What is the blueprint path for the Hide Hat?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Leather/PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet.PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Armor/Leather/PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet.PrimalItemArmor_HideHelmet'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
