Hover Skiff — Detailed Guide

The Hover Skiff is a Tek vehicle from Genesis: Part 1, not a creature. It is a flying platform with a tractor beam that carries tames, items and small builds. It is one of the best tools for metal runs and moving creatures around the map.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed and does not spawn in the wild. Defeat the Corrupted Master Controller on Gamma or higher to unlock the Unassembled TEK Hover Skiff, then craft and deploy it.

Uses

  • Fuel: runs on Element, Element Shards, Element Dust or Unstable Element. Flight mode and the tractor beam burn more fuel.
  • Transport: carries small to medium creatures on its deck, up to 800 total drag weight.
  • Tractor beam: lifts larger creatures, which helps with taming and moving them.
  • Storage: holds up to 16,000 weight of items, and up to 50 structures can be built on it.

Tips

Alphas, bosses, Titans, aquatic creatures and anything over 1,500 drag weight cannot be carried. It counts toward the tame limit, cannot be transferred while assembled, and can get stuck in caves.
