About

Narcotic is a consumable item used to increase a creature's torpor, causing it to become unconscious. Admins use it during taming to keep wild creatures asleep without letting them wake, and to manage creature torpor levels in general gameplay.

You can craft it from Spoiled Meat and Narcoberries, or spawn it directly with its GFI code or item ID. It stacks in your inventory, making it practical to carry large quantities for extended taming sessions or mass creature management.

Frequently Asked Questions

How current is the Narcotic spawn info?
The Narcotic 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 Narcotic blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic.PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic'" 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 difference between the Narcotic GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic.PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Narcotic.
Why isn't my Narcotic spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
Does the Narcotic 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 Narcotic then spawns the same way.
What items are related to the Narcotic?
See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Narcotic, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.
What is the admin command to spawn the Narcotic?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 1 0 0. That gives you one Narcotic 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.
How do I add the Narcotic to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 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 Narcotic?
The class name for the Narcotic is PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic_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 do the numbers in the Narcotic spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 1 0 0, the code identifies the Narcotic, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Narcotic.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Narcotic?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Narcotic. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
How do I spawn the Narcotic as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 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 Narcotic?
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 Narcotic spawn code from this page.
What is the item ID for the Narcotic?
The numeric item ID for the Narcotic is 122. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 122 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Narcotic?

How do I give the Narcotic to another player?

Can I get the Narcotic without spawning it?
Yes. The Narcotic 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.
How do I spawn multiple Narcotic at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Narcotic. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
Can I spawn the Narcotic over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic 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.
