ARK: Survival Evolved Wiki

There are a lot of different Weapons to be wielded in ARK: Survival Evolved. They range from basic Spear Spear made of wood and stone to fully automatic Assault Rifle Assault Rifle and Rocket Launcher Rocket Launcher. Most weapons degrade with use, and must be periodically repaired through the inventory screen. If a weapon has some kind of ammunition (e.g. a bow with arrows or firearms with bullets) and you want to unload this ammunition, then press and hold Ctrl while dragging the icon of this weapon in your inventory. Ranged weapons have approximately the same draw times.

LanceMounted weaponry

Mounted weaponry consists of tools or weapons selected by a player on their action bar while riding a saddle-fitted creature. All weapons lock you into first person perspective, except for the Torch Torch which allows you to use the third-person perspective and creature attacks. As soon as you draw a tool or weapon while riding a creature, you will no longer be able to steer the creature with the mouse and will be required to use the A and D keys to steer. You will also not be able to execute the creature's bite attack or secondary attack while using mounted weaponry. Instead, the Lmb and Rmb mouse buttons allow you to execute the tool or weapon's primary and secondary fire modes. For example, you can zoom in with the Fabricated Sniper Rifle Fabricated Sniper Rifle and shoot at the same time, or use the Spear Spear secondary fire button to throw it from your creature! You may also continue moving while doing all of these actions with the W and S keys.

Pike

The Pike is an upgraded version of the Spear that trades versatility for damage and durability. Unlike its spear counterpart, it cannot be thrown.

  • Applies 266 Torpidity
  • Breaks after a single use
