Tek Bridge — Detailed Guide
An extendable force bridge
Found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, the Tek Bridge is a Tek building piece that the game describes only as an "Extendable force bridge". It was introduced with Extinction, and the ARK Wiki also lists Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2 as maps where it is available.
Unlocking and crafting the bridge
The engram unlocks at level 72 for 32 engram points. A craft takes 5 seconds and gives 50 XP, and the wiki names the 
Exo-Mek as a place to craft it. The ARK Wiki gives a recipe with alternatives, which our ASA record matches apart from 
Red Element:
- 220
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 150
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 100
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer, or 
Corrupted Nodule - 2
Element or Red Element
The ASE recipe in our records uses the plain ingredients: 220 Metal Ingot, 150 Crystal, 100 Polymer and 2 Element.
What can damage it
Treated as a Tek structure, the bridge takes damage only from Explosives, the 
Tek Rifle, Tek Saddles, Titans, Bosses, Corrupted Creatures, Enraged Creatures, an 
Arthropluera, a 
Titanosaur or the 
DodoRex. The wiki also notes that its underside currently has no texture.
Weight and crate drops
Each bridge weighs 4, so a full stack of 100 weighs 400. In loot, 20 crate types can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Orange and Red crates on Genesis Part 2.
