Frequently Asked Questions

When was the Minigun data last updated?

The Minigun 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.

Is the Minigun spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Minigun'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.

What's the Minigun GFI short code?

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

What is the Minigun used for?

The Minigun is a craftable ranged weapon that delivers sustained automatic fire. It requires ammunition to operate and is favored for PvP scenarios and high-damage combat roles where sustained fire is more valuable than precision.

How do I spawn multiple Minigun at once?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Minigun?

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

What's the difference between the Minigun GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/Minigun/PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun.PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Minigun.

How do I open the console to spawn the Minigun?

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 Minigun spawn code from this page.

What is the admin command to spawn the Minigun?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun 1 0 0. That gives you one Minigun 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.

Why isn't my Minigun spawn command working?

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

Can I get the Minigun without spawning it?

Yes. The Minigun 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.

Where can I copy the Minigun spawn command?

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

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

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun 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 class name for the Minigun?

The class name for the Minigun is PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun_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.

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

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun 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 is the Minigun?

A heavy rotary weapon that fires high volumes of ammunition, spawnable via GFI code for admin loadouts or testing.

Is the Minigun blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/Minigun/PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun.PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun'" 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 full blueprint path of the Minigun?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/Minigun/PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun.PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/Minigun/PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun.PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

What items are related to the Minigun?

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

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

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Minigun by its class PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun_C or GFI PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponMinigun 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).

Which game is the Minigun from?

The Minigun 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 enable admin commands to spawn the Minigun?

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 Minigun spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

Does the Minigun 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 Minigun then spawns the same way.

What do the numbers in the Minigun spawn command mean?

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