About

The Torch is a primitive weapon that serves dual purpose: it provides light in caves and at night, and it deals damage in melee combat. Admins spawn it with its GFI code 37 when setting up new player gear or testing early-game scenarios.

It does not stack, so each torch occupies one inventory slot. Since it has an item ID, you can also spawn it with GiveItem using ID 37 if preferred, though the GFI command is more straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the numbers in the Torch spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTorch 1 0 0, the code identifies the Torch, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Torch.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Torch?
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 Torch spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
Does the Torch 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 Torch then spawns the same way.
Where can I copy the Torch spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Torch command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
Is the Torch a DLC item or part of the base game?
The Torch is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.
Is the Torch spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Torch'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.
How do I spawn the Torch as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTorch 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).
Why isn't my Torch spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItem_WeaponTorch), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTorch 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What's the difference between the Torch GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponTorch is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponTorch.PrimalItem_WeaponTorch'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Torch.
How do I open the console to spawn the Torch?
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 Torch spawn code from this page.

Is the Torch blueprint path case-sensitive?
Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponTorch.PrimalItem_WeaponTorch'" 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 Torch from?

How do I give myself the Torch with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTorch 1 0 0. That gives you one Torch instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

Can I get the Torch without spawning it?
Yes. The Torch 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 the Torch to another player?
Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 37 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 37 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Torch during events and giveaways.
What is the GFI code for the Torch?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Torch by its class PrimalItem_WeaponTorch_C or GFI PrimalItem_WeaponTorch. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Can I spawn the Torch over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTorch 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 add the Torch to a starter kit or loadout?

Both spawn the Torch. gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTorch matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 37 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.
What's the full blueprint path of the Torch?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponTorch.PrimalItem_WeaponTorch'".
