Tek tier equipment in Ark Survival Ascended consists of several items, such as an Armor Set that will give you superhuman powers in the dinosaur world, and items to build your base and weapons. Tek Helmet gives you night vision, and the Chest piece has a Jett pack that gives you the ability to fly and move faster in water. Tek Gloves lets you launch a punch in the direction you are facing and deals good base damage.
Leggings enable high speed, and Tek boots in Tek Armor have two main abilities: they negate fall damage and allow the user to walk on extremely sloped surfaces. A few weapons are available to accommodate the Armor.
However, the process of getting all these Tek tier equipment is lengthy, and it can be confusing if you don’t know where to start. This article will explain everything about Tek tier equipment in Ark Survival Ascended and how to get them.
How to get Tek Armor set in Ark Survival Ascended?
To get Tek Armor in Ark Survival Ascended, you need to craft it, which starts with unlocking Techgrams. When you defeat a boss in Ark Survival Evolved, you gain access to Tek Engrams, also known as Tekgrams. These Tekgrams are in the regular Engram menu at the bottom of the screen.
When facing a boss, there are three difficulty levels: Gamma, Beta, and Alpha. Gamma is the easiest difficulty level but unlocks the fewest Tekgrams, while Alpha is the most challenging but unlocks all the Tekgrams from all difficulty levels for that specific boss. Different bosses unlock different Tek Engrams. For example, there are four bosses in Ark Survival Ascended, while Aberration only has one. To obtain a Tek Armor Set, you need to defeat three of the four bosses.
To get Tek Armor Set, you need to defeat the following bosses:
- Alpha Broodmother: Tek Helmet, Tek Boots
- Alpha Dragon: Tek Chest Piece, Tek Leggings
- Alpha Dragon: Tek chest piece
- Gamma Megapithecus: Tek Gloves
After obtaining Tek Engrams, you need to craft them to get Tek Armor. Tek items can only be crafted in a tech replicator, which is unlocked by defeating the first boss. The first boss you defeat will permanently unlock the Tek replicator, allowing you to start crafting tech items once the boss is defeated.
Crafting in the Tek replicator follows the standard process: unlock the Engram, gather the required resources, and wait for the item to be crafted. Most tech items, including the tech replicator, require Element to function.
To use Tek items effectively, you must unlock the specific Tek Engram. For example, if you acquire tech boots without unlocking the tech boots Engram, you won't be able to use them until you defeat a boss that unlocks that Engram. Tech structures can be placed without unlocking the Tek Engram, but using them effectively requires the corresponding Tek Engram.
You also need Element, a power source for crafting and operating tech items, such as tech replicators, weapons, armor, structures, and generators. It is also required to unlock certain tech Engrams and maintain Tek structures. Element for tech items can be obtained by defeating Ark Survival Ascended bosses or other complex methods.
How to get all Tek weapons in Ark Survival Ascended?
To make all Tek Weapons in Ark Survival Ascended, you need to beat certain bosses, such as Broodmother, Dragon, and Megapithecus, to get the Tek blueprints. The Tek Replicator is important for crafting these incredible weapons. The main Tek weapons are the Tek Rifle, Tek Grenade, and Tek Turret.
The Tek Rifle is a strong gun that shoots energy blasts. You need 20 Element, 55 Black Pearl, 120 Crystal, 450 Metal Ingots, and 120 Polymer to craft it. It uses Element as ammo and is unlocked after beating the Megapithecus (Beta).
The Tek Grenade is a powerful explosive that sticks to things and blows up after 5 seconds. You need 1 Element, 10 Cementing Pastes, 40 Crystals, 60 Gunpowder, 30 Metal Ingots, and 30 Polymer to craft it. It's unlocked after beating the Megapithecus (Alpha).
The Tek Turret is an automatic turret that shoots enemies. You need 3 Elements, 50 Cementing Paste, 100 Metal Ingots, 50 Polymer, and 100 Electronics to craft it. It's unlocked after beating the Broodmother Lysrix (Alpha).
To craft these Tek Weapons, you must gather materials and defeat bosses to unlock the blueprints. Once you have the Tek Replicator, you can use it to make these Tek Weapons in-game.
