About

The Net Gun is a weapon designed to temporarily restrain creatures by firing nets. It is useful for capture, testing, or creature management on a server without lethal force.

Spawn it with its GFI code. The weapon does not stack, so you receive one unit per spawn command. Adjust the quality and blueprint flags in the spawn syntax if you need a blueprint instead of the finished item.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn a higher-quality Net Gun?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Net Gun. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What do the numbers in the Net Gun spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 1 0 0, the code identifies the Net Gun, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Net Gun.
How do I spawn multiple Net Gun at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Net Gun. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
Is the Net Gun spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Net Gun'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 is the Net Gun used for?
The Net Gun is a weapon designed to temporarily restrain creatures by firing nets. It is useful for capture, testing, or creature management on a server without lethal force.
What's the full blueprint path of the Net Gun?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/NetGun/PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen.PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/NetGun/PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen.PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen'" 1 0 0.

Does the Net Gun 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 Net Gun then spawns the same way.
How do I spawn the Net Gun as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 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 Net Gun?
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 Net Gun spawn code from this page.
Can I spawn the Net Gun over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 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.
How do I give myself the Net Gun with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 1 0 0. That gives you one Net Gun 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 Net Gun to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponNetGunGen 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.
