The Tek Helmet is a head-slot armor piece from the Tek Armor set.

Usage

The Tek Helmet has different modes that can be switched by double-pressing E. By double-pressing E, the three different modes below are cycled through.

Pulse Mode highlights creatures and other survivors around the wearer in a specific color to show the relationship to the wearer. Tribe members and creatures are highlighted in a green color, neutral players and creatures in white and enemies in a red color. The color of the outline also changes based on the current health of the creature/player, growing darker the more injured the target is. The helmet can scan through walls in a small radius around the wearer.

Night Vision Mode enables the wearer to see in the dark. Unlike the Night Vision Goggles Night Vision Goggles, the display does not turn white when using night vision during daytime.

There is also a third mode that combines the two modes above. Holding E for 2 seconds switches the helmet on or off, allowing you to keep a specific mode selected.

A powered full set of Tek armor gives you extremely clear vision underwater in first person

The Tek Helmet can work as a Gas Mask Gas Mask.

In ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the Tek Helmet provides the survivor with a +10% speed increase, a +10% damage increase, and a -20% fall damage decrease when powered. However, it does not have a targeting system and does not act as Night Vision Goggles Night Vision Goggles.
