About

The Karkinos Saddle is the equipment required to ride and control a tamed Karkinos. Craft it at a smithy or fabricator once you have the engram, or spawn it directly for testing and admin purposes.

Because this saddle has an item ID, you can spawn it either with the GFI command or with GiveItem and its item ID. The saddle does not stack, so each Karkinos you want to ride needs its own saddle in your inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Karkinos Saddle blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/Dinos/Crab/PrimalItemArmor_CrabSaddle.PrimalItemArmor_CrabSaddle'" 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's the Karkinos Saddle class name?
The class name for the Karkinos Saddle is PrimalItemArmor_CrabSaddle_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.
What's the difference between the Karkinos Saddle GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemArmor_CrabSaddle is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/Dinos/Crab/PrimalItemArmor_CrabSaddle.PrimalItemArmor_CrabSaddle'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Karkinos Saddle.
