About

Tracer Rounds are a specialized ammunition type designed to produce a visible trace as they travel downrange. Admins use them to verify weapon firing mechanics, observe projectile paths, and test combat scenarios without relying on hit markers or log data alone.

Spawn them with the GFI code TracerRound. They stack, so you can generate a full stack to arm players or stock an armory for testing purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I copy the Tracer Rounds spawn command?
Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Tracer Rounds command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.
When was the Tracer Rounds data last updated?
The Tracer Rounds 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 the Tracer Rounds GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/WeaponTracerRoundAmmo/PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound.PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Tracer Rounds.
What is the Tracer Rounds class used for in mods or spawn tools?
Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Tracer Rounds by its class PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound_C or GFI PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Can I get the Tracer Rounds without spawning it?
Yes. The Tracer Rounds 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 add the Tracer Rounds to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound 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.
Which game is the Tracer Rounds from?
The Tracer Rounds 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 Tracer Rounds spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Tracer Rounds?
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 Tracer Rounds spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
What's the full blueprint path of the Tracer Rounds?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/WeaponTracerRoundAmmo/PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound.PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/WeaponTracerRoundAmmo/PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound.PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
How do I spawn the Tracer Rounds as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound 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).
What's the Tracer Rounds GFI short code?
The GFI code for the Tracer Rounds is PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
How do I give myself the Tracer Rounds with a cheat command?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemAmmo_TracerRound 1 0 0. That gives you one Tracer Rounds 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.
Is the Tracer Rounds spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Tracer Rounds'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.
