About

The Jar of Pitch is ammunition for the Catapult of the Sky. It combines with a boulder to create a fiery projectile, making the catapult effective against both enemy fortifications and large creatures. Admins typically spawn stacks to test catapult mechanics or equip automated defenses without waiting for manual crafting.

Spawn it with its GFI code. It does not have a numeric item ID, so use gfi rather than GiveItem. Since it has no stack size limit in the game files, you can spawn as many as needed in a single command.

Why isn't my Jar of Pitch spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What do the numbers in the Jar of Pitch spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire 1 0 0, the code identifies the Jar of Pitch, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Jar of Pitch.
What's the difference between the Jar of Pitch GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/FireBoulder/PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire.PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Jar of Pitch.
What is the blueprint path for the Jar of Pitch?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/FireBoulder/PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire.PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/FireBoulder/PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire.PrimalItemAmmo_Boulder_Fire'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Is the Jar of Pitch blueprint path case-sensitive?
