Holo-Decoy Grenade

A hologram decoy you can throw

The Holo-Decoy Grenade is a throwable weapon from the Lost Colony content of ARK: Survival Ascended. When it hits something it creates a hologram version of the survivor, which draws attacks away from the player for a short time. The in-game description spells out which creatures fall for it: "Any Wild and non-ridden Tame in range will attack it instead of the Player for a small duration."

Engram and ingredients

The engram unlocks at level 51 and costs 22 engram points. One craft makes one grenade in 5 seconds and gives 11.35 XP. The recipe:

• 30 Crystal
• 20 Metal Ingot
• 20 Polymer
• 10 Cementing Paste

Carrying it and finding it in loot

Each grenade weighs 0.5 and up to 10 share a stack, so a full stack weighs 5. Crafting is not the only source: our loot data lists 3 crates that can contain it, the Easy, Medium and Hard versions of the Outpost: Lost Resource Cache on Lost Colony. Our records list the grenade on 9 maps: Lost Colony, The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
