About

The Tek Turret is a placeable defensive structure that serves as the highest-tier automated defense on the ARK. It fires projectiles at hostile creatures and players within range, making it essential for protecting bases in PvP and high-difficulty PvE servers.

Crafting requires a Tekgram and significant investment of rare materials. Once placed, it needs element or element shards to operate and must have a valid line of sight to its targets. The structure is durable but not indestructible, coordinate multiple turrets and backup power to cover weak angles.

Spawn one directly with its GFI code for testing or quick replacement. Since it does not stack, you receive one structure per spawn command.

Frequently Asked Questions

What items are related to the Tek Turret?
See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Tek Turret, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.
How do I spawn multiple Tek Turret at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Tek Turret. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
What's the difference between the Tek Turret GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek.PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Tek Turret.
What's the Tek Turret class name?
The class name for the Tek Turret is PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek_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.
Is the Tek Turret spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Tek Turret's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.
Can I spawn the Tek Turret over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 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 open the console to spawn the Tek Turret?
On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the Tek Turret spawn code from this page.
How do I spawn the Tek Turret in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 1 0 0. That gives you one Tek Turret 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.
What is the GFI code for the Tek Turret?
The GFI code for the Tek Turret is PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
What is the Tek Turret class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Tek Turret by its class PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek_C or GFI PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
When was the Tek Turret data last updated?
The Tek Turret 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.
Is the Tek Turret a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Tek Turret is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
Does the Tek Turret 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 Turret then spawns the same way.
Which game is the Tek Turret from?
The Tek Turret is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.
Why isn't my Tek Turret spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What do the numbers in the Tek Turret spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 1 0 0, the code identifies the Tek Turret, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Tek Turret.
How do I add the Tek Turret to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 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 enable admin commands to spawn the Tek Turret?
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 Turret spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
What is the blueprint path for the Tek Turret?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek.PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek.PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Tek Turret?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Tek Turret. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
Is the Tek Turret blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Misc/PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek.PrimalItemStructure_TurretTek'" 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 do I spawn the Tek Turret as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
