About

The Minigun Turret is a stationary defensive structure that automatically engages threats within its range. Place it on a foundation, connect it to a power source, and load ammunition, it will then fire on any dinosaur or player not on its whitelist.

Minigun Turrets are effective against most threats but consume ammunition quickly and require consistent power to function. They are particulary useful in high-traffic areas or chokepoints where you want passive defense without active tending. Pair them with other turret types and walls for layered base defense.

Spawn one directly into your inventory with the GFI code, or craft it using the default recipe. You cannot stack multiple turrets in a single inventory slot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What items are related to the Minigun Turret?
See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Minigun Turret, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.
How do I add the Minigun Turret to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun 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 difference between the Minigun Turret GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun.PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Minigun Turret.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Minigun Turret?
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 Turret spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
How do I spawn the Minigun Turret in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun 1 0 0. That gives you one Minigun Turret 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 spawn the Minigun Turret over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun 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 Minigun Turret blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun.PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
Is the Minigun Turret spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Minigun Turret'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 spawn the Minigun Turret as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun 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 open the console to spawn the Minigun Turret?
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 Turret spawn code from this page.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Minigun Turret?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Minigun Turret. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What's the full blueprint path of the Minigun Turret?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun.PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun.PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
How do I spawn multiple Minigun Turret at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Minigun Turret. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
What's the Minigun Turret class name?
The class name for the Minigun Turret is PrimalItemStructure_TurretMinigun_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.
