Federation Exo Gloves

Exo armor for the hands

The Federation Exo-Gloves, called Federation Exo Gloves in ARK: Survival Evolved, are a Genesis: Part 2 item and the hand piece of the Federation Exo Armor set. In ASE the in-game text presents them as highly advanced gauntlets built for devastating punches and says you must learn their Tekgram before you can equip them. In ARK: Survival Ascended our record describes them as a skin: "You can use this to skin the appearance of gloves. Looks like a genuine pair of Terran Federation tek-reinforced Exp-Gloves!"

The super punch

The ARK Wiki describes the special attack of the ASE armor piece. On PC, hold right-click and let go when the crosshair over your target turns green. The punch starts at a base damage of 40, scales with the melee stat and can hit several enemies at once when they stand close together. Aimed at trees and rocks, it harvests them. Worn with the Federation Exo Leggings, the gloves can also deliver the attack from above. To use it with a shield, hold right-click first and then the left mouse button.

Lifting heavy loads

In ASE, when you are fully encumbered, the gloves can still get you into the air. Paired with the Federation Exo Leggings and the Federation Exo Chestpiece, they let you haul huge amounts of items over long distances, according to the wiki.
