Brick Wall — Detailed Guide
The strongest primitive wall
Part of the Primitive Plus DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved, the Brick Wall is described in-game as "A brick-and-mortar styled wall that provides the most protection." The ARK Wiki agrees, calling it the strongest wall among the primitive options, with 25,000 health per wall. Use it to keep the cold out or to split the inside of a building into rooms.
Bricks, cement and engram
The engram unlocks at level 45 for 8 engram points. One wall takes 40 Brick and 2 Fresh Cement, both in their Primitive Plus versions. Crafting takes 2 seconds and gives 2.7 XP. Each wall weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
What can damage it
The wiki treats the Brick Wall as a stone structure, which only certain attacks can hurt. Its list, with the percentage where it gives one:
- Weapons and explosives: metal weapons (5%), the
Tek Sword (about 218%), the 
Cannon (about 137%), explosives (150%) and the 
Ballista Turret (40%). - Creatures: the
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern (300% each), the 
Dunkleosteus (15%), the 
Therizinosaur with its headbutt only (about 2%), and the 
Arthropluera, 
Chalicotherium, 
Deathworm, 
Magmasaur, 
Managarmr and 
Roll Rat. - Creature groups: Alpha Creatures and bosses (10% each), Astral, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures, and Titans.
Titanosaur and 
Defense Unit: about 462% each.
The 
Giganotosaurus (15%), the 
Tek Rifle (about 50%) and the 
Rock Elemental can also damage stone, though none of the three can damage auto turrets.
A known alignment bug
The wiki also notes a bug present as of patch 248.4: brick walls stacked above and below one another sit slightly off center, both front to back and side to side. This leaves small gaps in corners, and in ceilings once the walls go higher than three. The wiki hoped for a fix in the next Primitive Plus patch, and walls placed before that fix would need replacing.
