What items are related to the Transponder Tracker?

See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the Transponder Tracker, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.

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

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS 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 spawn multiple Transponder Tracker at once?

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

What's the full blueprint path of the Transponder Tracker?

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

Can I get the Transponder Tracker without spawning it?

Yes. The Transponder Tracker 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 Transponder Tracker to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS 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 the Transponder Tracker by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 368 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.

Why isn't my Transponder Tracker spawn command working?

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

How do I spawn a higher-quality Transponder Tracker?

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

What do the numbers in the Transponder Tracker spawn command mean?

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

How do I give myself the Transponder Tracker with a cheat command?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS 1 0 0. That gives you one Transponder Tracker 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 Transponder Tracker over RCON or on a dedicated server?

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

What is the Transponder Tracker used for?

The Transponder Tracker is a tool item that displays the real-time location of any player or creature equipped with a paired Transponder Node. Admins use it to monitor player activity, locate lost dinosaurs, or enforce server rules by tracking movement across the map.

Is the Transponder Tracker a DLC item or part of the base game?

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

Is the Transponder Tracker spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The Transponder Tracker'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.

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

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

Is the Transponder Tracker blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Weapons/PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS.PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS'" 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 give the Transponder Tracker to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 368 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 368 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Transponder Tracker during events and giveaways.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Transponder Tracker?

Both spawn the Transponder Tracker. gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 368 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Does the Transponder Tracker 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 Transponder Tracker then spawns the same way.

What's the Transponder Tracker GFI short code?

The GFI code for the Transponder Tracker is PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponTransGPS 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
