The Excavation Rig is a rig found on  Tek Stryders in ARK: Survival Evolved, allowing for the harvesting of resources. As with other rigs, the Excavation Rig cannot be removed from a Tek Stryder.

Usage

The rig can be toggled on and off by using Rmb, , , doing so will harvest resources in front of the Tek Stryder. Activating the rig will cause the Tek Stryder to lose  Charge and harvest all nodes in front of it, the rig will need to be toggled off to stop this. Hitting a creature with the excavation beam will not damage the creature.
