Simple Bullet — Detailed Guide

The round for the Simple Pistol

The Simple Bullet is ammunition in ARK: Survival Evolved. The ARK Wiki names the Simple Pistol as the gun that fires it, and the bullet is also an ingredient of Simple Shotgun Ammo. The wiki's verdict on its value is mixed: it costs a fair amount for what it is, yet its damage beats that of the Fabricated Pistol's Advanced Bullet.

Gunpowder comes first

Gunpowder is listed as the prerequisite of this engram, which then unlocks at level 34 for 6 engram points. A Smithy turns 1 Metal Ingot (Scrap Metal Ingot also works) and 6 Gunpowder into 2 bullets in 1 second, for 0.4 XP. According to the wiki, the Exo-Mek, the Tek Replicator, the Castoroides Saddle, the Thorny Dragon Saddle and the Argentavis Saddle can craft it as well.

Weight and where bullets turn up

Bullets are single use. Each weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Our ASE records list one recipe that uses them, Simple Shotgun Ammo, at 3 bullets. Outside crafting, 98 crate types can contain Simple Bullets, for example the Aberration Blue, Purple and Red crates on Aberration, Valguero and Crystal Isles, and the item is listed on 14 maps.
