Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Simple Shotgun Ammo?

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 Simple Shotgun Ammo spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What's the difference between the Simple Shotgun Ammo GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleShotgunBullet is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleShotgunBullet.PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleShotgunBullet'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Simple Shotgun Ammo.

Can I spawn the Simple Shotgun Ammo over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleShotgunBullet 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 spawn a higher-quality Simple Shotgun Ammo?

Is the Simple Shotgun Ammo blueprint path case-sensitive?
