What does the Slingshot do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A basic ranged weapon that fires stones, useful early-game for hunting and crowd control without firearms.

What's the difference between the Slingshot GFI code and its blueprint path?

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

What is the class name for the Slingshot?

The class name for the Slingshot is PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.

What's the full blueprint path of the Slingshot?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot.PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot.PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

Is the Slingshot blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot.PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

How current is the Slingshot spawn info?

The Slingshot entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Slingshot?

Both spawn the Slingshot. gfi PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 138 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

How do I give the Slingshot to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 138 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 138 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Slingshot during events and giveaways.

What is the Slingshot class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Which game is the Slingshot from?

The Slingshot is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

Is the Slingshot a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Slingshot is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.

Why isn't my Slingshot spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.

What do the numbers in the Slingshot spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot 1 0 0, the code identifies the Slingshot, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Slingshot.

Where can I copy the Slingshot spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Slingshot command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot 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 enable admin commands to spawn the Slingshot?

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 Slingshot spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

How do I use GiveItemNum for the Slingshot?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 138 1 0 0 in the admin console. GiveItemNum spawns by numeric ID, which is precise for scripts and control panels. The trailing numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

Can I get the Slingshot without spawning it?

Yes. The Slingshot 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.

Can I spawn the Slingshot over RCON or on a dedicated server?

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

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Slingshot. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

How do I add the Slingshot to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponSlingshot 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.

How do I spawn multiple Slingshot at once?

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