Tek Grenade — Detailed Guide

A sticky Tek explosive

Thrown at a target, the Tek Grenade sticks to it and then explodes, in ARK: Survival Evolved. The description: "Sticks to targets with a powerful Tek Explosion after 5 seconds. Equipping requires learning this Tekgram." Like the standard Grenade, it hurts survivors, creatures and structures, and since it sticks to what it hits, a thrower can single out one enemy player or one part of a base. The ARK Wiki puts its damage against a creature with no armor at 300.

Getting the Tekgram

According to the ARK Wiki, the Tekgram unlocks after defeating the Manticore (Alpha), the Megapithecus (Alpha) or the Ragnarok Arena (Alpha).

Crafting a batch

One craft takes 5 seconds, yields 3 grenades and gives 11.35 XP. The ARK Wiki lists the Tek Replicator and the Exo-Mek as stations. Each batch uses:

60 Gunpowder
40 Crystal (or Primal Crystal)
30 Metal Ingot (or Scrap Metal Ingot)
30 Polymer (Organic Polymer or Corrupted Nodule also work)
10 Cementing Paste (or Achatina Paste)
1 Element (or Red Element)

Carrying and loot

A grenade weighs 0.5 and they stack to 10, so a full stack weighs 5. The ARK Wiki marks it as single use. Our records count 13 crate types that can contain it, such as the Defense Unit and the Mission 'Bulbdog Fetch' Hard and Mission 'Ferox Cull' Hard crates on Genesis Part 2, and they list it on 12 maps.
