The Radio is an equippable item that enables long-range communication between players. When held and activated, it broadcasts your voice to all players tuned to the same frequency, making it essential for coordinating large groups or raids without requiring direct visual contact.
Radios are single-use items in inventory, they do not stack. Spawn one with its item ID or GFI code. On a PvP server, radios are often restricted or carefully managed to prevent metagaming during events; consider your server rules before distributing them widely.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between the Radio GFI code and its blueprint path?
- The GFI code
PrimalItemRadiois a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path"Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemRadio.PrimalItemRadio'"is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Radio. - How do I spawn multiple Radio at once?
- Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example
cheat gfi PrimalItemRadio 25 0 0spawns 25 of the Radio. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size. - How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Radio?
- 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 Radio spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it. - What is the GFI code for the Radio?
- The GFI code for the Radio is
PrimalItemRadio. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, socheat gfi PrimalItemRadio 1 0 0is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path. - What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Radio?
- Both spawn the Radio.
gfi PrimalItemRadiomatches the item by name and is quickest to type;GiveItemNum 140uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup. - Does the Radio spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

- Set the final argument to 1:
cheat gfi PrimalItemRadio 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). - What does the Radio do in ARK: Survival Ascended?
