Tek Leggings — Detailed Guide
Superspeed in a pair of leggings
Tek Leggings are the leg piece of the Tek Armor set in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Their item text: "Highly advanced leggings that allow for powerful forward movement. Equipping requires learning this Tekgram."
Holding the melee keybind (Ctrl) while wearing them starts a superspeed mode. In it the wearer charges forward very fast, can cross water by running over its surface and smashes through trees and rocks along the way. Player movement speed stats do not change how fast superspeed is. A survivor who is over-weighted and stuck can still creep forward slowly by holding the same key.
What a dash breaks
The ARK Wiki warns that a dash can wreck Thatch, Wood and Adobe bases. Trees and boulders break as well, but nothing is gathered from them.
Earning the Tekgram
The leggings cannot be equipped until their Tekgram is learned, and it comes as a boss reward. The wiki lists the fights that unlock it: the 
Forest Titan, the 
Beta Corrupted Master Controller, and the Gamma versions of the 
Manticore, 
Dinopithecus King, Rockwell Prime, 
Dragon, 
Crystal Wyvern Queen and 
Rockwell. Harder versions of these fights grant it too.
Crafting and repair
The wiki lists the 
Exo-Mek as a crafting station for them. A pair takes 5 seconds and gives 7.1 XP, and the recipe is:
- 450
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 120
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 120
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 55
Black Pearl - 20
Element (or 
Red Element)
Repairs take 450 Metal Ingot, 120 Polymer, 120 Crystal and 55 Black Pearl, with no Element.
Stats, weight and loot
The leggings have an armor rating of 180 and 300 durability, and weigh 6. Genesis Part 1's Magma Medlee Melee mission gives higher-quality pairs, around 1940 armour and 1500 durability; those cannot be ground in an 
Industrial Grinder or by a 
Tropeognathus, and repairing them costs more. Our records count 46 crate types that can contain Tek Leggings, among them the Dragon Hoard, the 
Desert Titan crate on Extinction and the Orbital Hard and Legendary crates on Extinction and Astraeos. They are listed on 9 maps.
