Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Wooden Shield a DLC item or part of the base game?

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

What is the Wooden Shield class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Wooden Shield by its class PrimalItemArmor_WoodShield_C or GFI PrimalItemArmor_WoodShield. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

What is the class name for the Wooden Shield?

The class name for the Wooden Shield is PrimalItemArmor_WoodShield_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.

What is the blueprint path for the Wooden Shield?

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

What is the GFI code for the Wooden Shield?

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

How do I spawn the Wooden Shield as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_WoodShield 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 Wooden Shield 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 Wooden Shield then spawns the same way.

Can I spawn the Wooden Shield over RCON or on a dedicated server?

What's the difference between the Wooden Shield GFI code and its blueprint path?
