About

The Tek Bow is an endgame weapon that uses Tek ammunition rather than standard arrows. It deals significant damage and is a key tool for late-game combat and boss encounters.

Use the GFI code to spawn it directly into inventory. Because it has no numeric item ID, GiveItem will not work, stick with the GFI command or the quick reference table. The weapon does not stack, so each spawn gives you one bow at the specified quality level.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn the Tek Bow as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow 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).
Does the Tek Bow 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 Tek Bow then spawns the same way.
Is the Tek Bow blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/TekBow/PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow.PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.
Which game is the Tek Bow from?
The Tek Bow is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.
What's the difference between the Tek Bow GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/TekBow/PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow.PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Tek Bow.
What's the full blueprint path of the Tek Bow?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/TekBow/PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow.PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Weapons/TekBow/PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow.PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Tek Bow?
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 Tek Bow spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
Where can I copy the Tek Bow spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Tek Bow command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
How do I add the Tek Bow to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow 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.
What is the Tek Bow class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Tek Bow by its class PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow_C or GFI PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Why isn't my Tek Bow spawn command working?

How do I spawn a higher-quality Tek Bow?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Tek Bow. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

What do the numbers in the Tek Bow spawn command mean?

Can I get the Tek Bow without spawning it?
Yes. The Tek Bow 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.
How do I give myself the Tek Bow with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow 1 0 0. That gives you one Tek Bow instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
Can I spawn the Tek Bow over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTekBow 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.
