Tek Chestpiece — Detailed Guide
The chest slot of the Tek Armor set
The Tek Chestpiece belongs to the Tek Armor set in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game text: "Highly advanced chestpiece with an integrated jetpack. Equipping requires learning this Tekgram." According to the ARK Wiki, no other chestpiece gives more protection. Our records list an armor rating of 180, 300 durability and a weight of 6.
What the jetpack can do
- High jump: double-tap the jump button.
- Lift-off: keep jump held and the jetpack carries you upward.
- Hover: hold Shift while in the air to stay at one altitude, useful for aimed shots from above or for level flight.
- Forward dash: with the
Tek Leggings also worn, holding Ctrl in midair sends you forward at high speed. - Swimming: under water the jetpack boosts swimming speed.
Unlocking the Tekgram
The chestpiece cannot be equipped until its Tekgram is learned. The ARK Wiki names these bosses as the way to unlock it: 
Rockwell (Beta), 
Rockwell Prime (Beta), 
Dragon (Alpha), 
Crystal Wyvern Queen (Alpha), the 
Alpha Corrupted Master Controller and the 
Ice Titan.
