Fireworks Flaregun Skin

Fireworks from a flare

Fire a flare with this skin applied and it bursts into fireworks at the highest point of its flight. The Fireworks Flaregun Skin of ARK: Survival Evolved, called Fireworks Flaregun in ARK: Survival Ascended, goes on a Flare Gun you are carrying. The game's line: "Light up the sky with these independent fireworks!"

Ways to obtain it

• Creatures and crates: the wiki says Allosauruses, Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs and Spinos drop it, and Supply Crate drops can hold it as well. Our records list 1 crate type that can contain it, Mosa and Plesio.
• Achievement: completing Rex Rider unlocks the skin, and after that it is in your inventory every time you respawn.
• Summer Bash Event: during every one of these events it could be cooked in a Cooking Pot from 25 Cooked Meat Jerky, Cooked Fish Meat or Cooked Meat.

Dye and stacking tricks

• The skin covers a whole stack of flare guns, so the wiki suggests keeping at least one skinned flare gun around; that way you can get more without spending another skin. This also works with dyed flares, or with flares that carry both the skin and a dye.
• Dyeing the skin changes the colour of the projectile, but the red, white and blue bursts it adds stay unchanged.
• If a plain flare already has a dye, applying the skin replaces that dye with the skin's own, even when the skin itself was never dyed.
• When fired it looks close to a cluster flare, yet only one flare ball remains after the first blast, and it throws off sparks now and then on the way down.

Weight, crafting time and maps

The skin weighs 0 and has a stack size of 1. The wiki gives a crafting time of 5 seconds and 1 XP, and dates the skin to version 183.0. Our records place it on 5 maps: The Island, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
