Glider Suit Skin — Detailed Guide
A chest armor attachment for gliding
The Glider Suit, called the Glider Suit Skin on the ARK Wiki, arrived in ARK: Survival Evolved with the Aberration expansion. It is an armor attachment: like a skin, it attaches to a piece of chest armor, and every chestpiece except the 
Tek Chestpiece accepts it. The in-game text says "Chestpiece allowing gliding. Essential on Aberration." With the suit attached, the survivor can sail through the air.
Flying with the suit
- Taking off: double-tap jump in mid-air to switch into glide mode; the survivor moves forward and loses only a little altitude.
- Pitch and speed: holding Shift lets you tilt down into a dive or up into a climb, which changes speed considerably.
- Stalling: once speed runs out the survivor nosedives, and the wiki advises keeping the aim slightly downward rather than level.
- Turning it off: pressing jump mid-glide switches the suit off; it can be switched on again while falling.
- Landing: diving into the ground, even at moderate speed, hurts the survivor.
Wear on the chest armor
The suit has no durability of its own and never breaks, but gliding wears down the chest armor it sits on. If that armor breaks, gliding stops until it is repaired. The wiki suggests weighing both durability and ease of repair when choosing the chestpiece. Armor that already loses durability passively, such as the 
Hazard Suit Shirt or the 
SCUBA Tank, raises the risk, and projectiles hitting a torso fitted with the suit deal 3x durability damage, a danger in PVP. Unlike the Zip-Line Motor Attachment, the suit needs no 
Gasoline or other fuel. To remove it, hold Shift and drag the chestpiece in the inventory.
Crafting the Glider Suit
The engram unlocks at level 62 for 26 engram points and requires the 
Parachute engram. The suit is crafted in a 
Smithy, and the wiki also lists the 
Argentavis Saddle and the 
Tek Replicator. Ingredients:
- 60
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 25
Blue Gem or 
Blue Crystalized Sap - 60
Hide - 100
Fiber
Crafting takes 5 seconds and gives 22.5 XP. The suit weighs 20 and has a stack size of 1. Our records list it on 6 maps, among them Aberration, Valguero and Fjordur, and 118 crate types can contain it, the Aberration Dungeon and Aberration Purple crates included.
