BattleAxe — Detailed Guide
The hardest-hitting Primitive Plus melee weapon
The BattleAxe comes from the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved. Its description: "A mighty axe used for serious battles!" The ARK Wiki rates its melee damage as the highest of any melee weapon in Primitive Plus, with very high damage per second but a short reach.
Where it works best
Against thatch, wood and stone structures the axe is very effective, according to the wiki, and its strong melee also makes it useful against other players and creatures. Some players see it as a midgame weapon: the recipe itself is not hard, but the Leather it calls for takes crystal to produce. A few players also claim it reaches further than the Viking Axe.
Crafting and repairs
The engram unlocks at level 50 for 25 engram points. The axe is made in the 
Grindstone (Primitive Plus) from:
Steel Ingot (Primitive Plus)
Leather (Primitive Plus)
WoodCrafting takes 5 seconds and gives 5 XP. A repair costs 17.5 Steel Ingot, 5 Leather and 2.5 Wood.
Weight and durability
The BattleAxe weighs 2, does not stack and has 40 durability.
