Brick Dinosaur Gate

A brick gate from Primitive Plus

Used together with a Brick Dinosaur Gateway, the Brick Dinosaur Gate lets you close off an area in the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved and keep creatures inside or outside it. The in-game description: "A large, reinforced wooden gate that can be used with a Gateway to keep dinosaurs in or out." Before v1.5 its name was Concrete Dinosaur Gate, and once placed it shows the name Reinforced Concrete Dinosaur Gate.

Engram and recipe

The engram unlocks at level 52 for 16 engram points. The gate is made at the Construction Table (Primitive Plus); a craft takes 5 seconds and gives 10 XP. Ingredients:

• 100 Fresh Cement (Primitive Plus)
• 30 Steel Ingot (Primitive Plus)

Each gate weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.

What can break it

The ARK Wiki counts the gate as a stone structure, and only certain attacks hurt it. Examples from its list, with the damage percentages it gives:

• Weapons and explosives: explosives (150%), the Cannon (about 137%), the Tek Sword (about 218%), the Ballista Turret (40%) and metal weapons (5%).
• Creatures with a percentage: the Titanosaur (about 462%), the DodoRex and Dodo Wyvern (300% each), Dunkleosteus (15%), Alpha Creatures and bosses (10%) and the Therizinosaur, with its headbutt only (about 2%).
• Also listed: the Deathworm, Magmasaur, Managarmr, Roll Rat, Chalicotherium and Arthropluera, titans, the Defense Unit, and corrupted, enraged and astral creatures.
