Corrosive Ship Cannonball — Detailed Guide

Acid rounds for ships

The Corrosive Ship Cannonball is ship ammunition in ARK: Survival Ascended. It came with Tides of Fortune, an adventure pack belonging to the Bob's True Tales DLC, and the ARK Wiki names the Sloop, Galleon, Brigantine and Trireme as the ships it is for. The game describes it like this: "This Ship-projectile contains acidic slime. Deals moderate damage to targets and corrodes their armor, causing them to take additional damage for a short duration."

What the corrosion really does

Despite the wording about armor, the wiki explains that a hit applies a damage multiplier instead: the target takes 25% more damage. The wiki infobox links the item to Astraeos as well as Tides of Fortune, and the wiki adds that learning its engram, crafting it and using it all depend on having that DLC. It records the item as added in version 89.24.

Crafting the cannonball

The engram opens at level 58 for 5 engram points. The wiki lists the Smithy and the Argentavis Saddle as crafting places. Each cannonball takes:

A craft lasts 1 second and gives 0.4 XP.

Weight on board

Each cannonball weighs 20. They stack to 100, and a full stack weighs 2000.
