Tek Jump Pad — Detailed Guide
Launching survivors and creatures
The Tek Jump Pad is a Tek structure in ARK: Survival Evolved that throws survivors and creatures up into the air. The in-game text sums it up as "A Tek-powered propulsion device; useful for traversal and mayhem." Both the launch direction and the force can be set, and anything the pad launches takes no damage when it lands. Wild creatures are affected by its jumping force as well.
Maps and placement
The wiki says it was introduced in Genesis: Part 1 and lists Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2 as further maps; our records list the same 4 maps. It fits on any surface that leaves enough room for it, except boats, and you can pick it up again at any time.
Unlocking and crafting
The engram unlocks at level 70 and costs 30 engram points. The wiki names the 
Exo-Mek as a place where it can be crafted. One pad takes 5 seconds, gives 50 XP and needs:
- 100
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 5
Element or 
Red Element - 250
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 50
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal
Weight and loot
The pad weighs 4 and has a stack size of 1. It can also turn up in loot: 20 crate types can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Purple crates on Genesis Part 2. The wiki gives 306.41 as the version that added it.
