ARK Tester Hat Skin — Detailed Guide

A hat skin reserved for testers

The ARK Tester Hat Skin is a cosmetic for headgear in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game text reads: "You can use this to skin the appearance of a helmet or hat. Provides a super-cool elite look!" The ARK Wiki adds that it can be put on any piece of headgear.

What it looks like

Applied to a hat or helmet, the skin turns it into a green baseball cap that carries a white joystick on its front.

Who can get it

The wiki states that only ARK game testers receive this skin, and that other players have no way to obtain it. It was added in version 233.0. Since version 236.6, two other hats, the Dev Kit Master Hat and the Tester Hat, also use the Tester Hat Skin icon.

Weight and stacking

The skin weighs 0, so it adds nothing to a survivor's load, and it stacks to 1, meaning every copy takes its own inventory slot. Our records list it for both games, with the same description in each.
