Cursed Tek Rifle

Plasma bolts from Lost Colony

The Cursed Tek Rifle is a weapon in ARK: Survival Ascended from the Lost Colony DLC, and our records list it as a Halloween event drop on the Lost Colony map. The in-game description reads: "Shoots explosive plasma bolts, with an infrared zoomable scope. Equipping requires learning this Tekgram." In other words, a survivor has to have learned the Tekgram before the rifle can be equipped.
