Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Magnifying Glass 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 Magnifying Glass then spawns the same way.

Which game is the Magnifying Glass from?

The Magnifying Glass is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

When was the Magnifying Glass data last updated?

The Magnifying Glass 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 does the Magnifying Glass do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A utility item that magnifies text and details, useful for examining small object labels and markings on a server.

How do I give myself the Magnifying Glass with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 1 0 0. That gives you one Magnifying Glass 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.

Can I get the Magnifying Glass without spawning it?

Yes. The Magnifying Glass 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 difference between the Magnifying Glass GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass.PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Magnifying Glass.

What do the numbers in the Magnifying Glass spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 1 0 0, the code identifies the Magnifying Glass, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Magnifying Glass.

What is the Magnifying Glass used for?

The Magnifying Glass is a non-weapon utility item that enlarges your view of nearby text and fine details. It does not stack and occupies a single inventory slot.

Can I spawn the Magnifying Glass over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 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.

Is the Magnifying Glass spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Magnifying Glass'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.

Is the Magnifying Glass blueprint path case-sensitive?

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

Why isn't my Magnifying Glass spawn command working?

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

How do I spawn the Magnifying Glass as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 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 multiple Magnifying Glass at once?

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

What items are related to the Magnifying Glass?

See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Magnifying Glass, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.

What is the Magnifying Glass class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Magnifying Glass by its class PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass_C or GFI PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Magnifying Glass?

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 Magnifying Glass spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Magnifying Glass?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Magnifying Glass. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

How do I open the console to spawn the Magnifying Glass?

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 Magnifying Glass spawn code from this page.

Is the Magnifying Glass a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Magnifying Glass is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.

How do I add the Magnifying Glass to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 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's the full blueprint path of the Magnifying Glass?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass.PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass.PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

What is the class name for the Magnifying Glass?

The class name for the Magnifying Glass is PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass_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 Magnifying Glass GFI short code?

The GFI code for the Magnifying Glass is PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMagnifyingGlass 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

Where can I copy the Magnifying Glass spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Magnifying Glass command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
