Holo-Scope Attachment — Detailed Guide
Friend or foe at a glance
Fitted to a firearm, the Holo-Scope Attachment identifies any player or creature at a distance as friend or foe, in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Unlike a 
Spyglass, it does not reveal names or levels. The in-game text opens with: "This advanced scope can tell friends from strangers. Attach this to a supporting weapon to gain more accurate aiming."
Crosshair colors
The scope adds a crosshair that shows even when you are not aiming down the sights, colored by target:
- Green: tamed animals, structures and players from your own tribe
- Yellow: wild animals, and structures belonging to another tribe
- Red: untamed animals and players from other tribes
It also gives a slight zoom of around 1.25x and a green screen tint similar to night vision. The wiki notes one drawback: unlike the 
Scope Attachment, the Holo-Scope always keeps weapon sway, even on a 
Fabricated Pistol, which can lower accuracy rather than raise it as the description suggests.
Which guns take it
According to the ARK Wiki, it fits the 
Assault Rifle, the Fabricated Pistol and the 
Pump-Action Shotgun. The 
Fabricated Sniper Rifle carries its own scope.
Crafting the Holo-Scope
The engram unlocks at level 77 for 24 engram points, with the Scope Attachment as prerequisite. The ARK Wiki lists the 
Fabricator and the 
Tek Replicator for crafting. One scope takes 10 seconds, gives 100 XP and costs 40 
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot), 40 
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) and 30 
Electronics. It weighs 0.1 and does not stack. Our records count 87 crate types that can contain it, for example Aberration Purple, Aberration Red Bonus and Aberration Surface Purple, and list it on 9 maps.
