Federation Exo Boots

Boots that ignore fall damage

Federation Exo Boots are the feet piece of the Federation Exo Armor set; our records file the item under Genesis: Part 2. Our ARK: Survival Evolved record describes the armor this way: "Highly advanced boots capable of absorbing the impact of falling from high distances. Equipping requires learning this Tekgram." Our ARK: Survival Ascended record describes something else: a skin that makes a pair of boots look like Terran Federation tek-reinforced exo-boots. The facts below are about the armor.

What the boots do

The wiki says a wearer takes no fall damage at all, however long the drop. The boots also let the wearer walk up most ramp surfaces below 90°, a climbing ability the wiki compares with that of a Thylacoleo. On a slope, lights switch on under the boots, the footsteps turn heavy, and every step sends out a bluish shock wave.
