About

The Self Hug Emote Unlock is a one-time consumable that permanently teaches your survivor a new emote. Use it on any character to add the self hug animation to their available emotes.

Once consumed, the unlock is permanent for that survivor, it does not need to be re-used. Spawn it with the GFI code rather than an item ID.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Self Hug Emote Unlock 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 Self Hug Emote Unlock then spawns the same way.
How do I add the Self Hug Emote Unlock to a starter kit or loadout?

What is the GFI code for the Self Hug Emote Unlock?
The GFI code for the Self Hug Emote Unlock is PrimalItemConsumable_UnlockEmote_SelfHug. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_UnlockEmote_SelfHug 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
What do the numbers in the Self Hug Emote Unlock spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_UnlockEmote_SelfHug 1 0 0, the code identifies the Self Hug Emote Unlock, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Self Hug Emote Unlock.
How do I spawn multiple Self Hug Emote Unlock at once?

What's the Self Hug Emote Unlock class name?

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Self Hug Emote Unlock?

Why isn't my Self Hug Emote Unlock spawn command working?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_UnlockEmote_SelfHug 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.
