Frequently Asked Questions

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponScissors 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 spawn multiple Scissors at once?

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

Does the Scissors 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 Scissors then spawns the same way.

Can I get the Scissors without spawning it?

Yes. The Scissors 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.
