Moderate Protecting (Gun Trait) — Detailed Guide
Damage reduction earned by hitting
Moderate Protecting (Gun Trait) is a Wasteland DLC item in ARK: Survival Ascended. It ties a gun's hits to damage reduction: every hit on a non-allied target lowers the damage of the next attack that comes in. The item text puts it this way: "Each hit from this weapon against a non-allied target reduces the damage of the next incoming attack by 3.75%, stacking up to 10 times." The description also states that the trait must be applied in a 
Makeshift Megalab.
Lesser, moderate and greater
This trait is both a product and an ingredient. A 15-second craft combines 10 
Lesser Protecting (Gun Trait) into one moderate trait, and 10 moderate traits in turn make one 
Greater Protecting (Gun Trait), the single recipe in our records that uses it. Stack size is 1: each trait takes a slot of its own.
Crates that can hold it
Our records list 4 loot crates that can contain it: the Armadoggo Crate (Extinction and Astraeos), Astraeos Orbital Medium, Astraeos Orbital Legendary and Extinction Orbital Medium. Our records tie the item to Extinction and Astraeos.
