Tek Phase Pistol — Detailed Guide
Three beams in one sidearm
The Tek Phase Pistol is a close-range energy weapon in ARK: Survival Evolved, introduced with Genesis: Part 2. As the game puts it, it "Shoots plasma beams with varying intensity and effect, at a cost of Element." Our records place it on Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, Lost Island and Fjordur. Its effects grow stronger the longer the beam stays on one target, and you switch modes with right-click on PC, LT on Xbox One or L2 on PS4:
- Kill: damage over time that builds while the beam holds, up to a 20x multiplier, which makes it good against large creatures. Bosses resist it strongly, so it is a poor choice for boss fights.
- Stun: fills a stun percentage, more slowly against creatures with a higher drag weight. At 100% the target freezes for a moment and cannot be stunned again for a few seconds.
- Heal: restores health to tamed or wild creatures and to tribe mates, burning a little more Element than the other two modes. Healing your own tames requires friendly fire to be on.
Rapid clicking instead of holding the trigger reportedly gives more damage and stun per second while saving fuel. Unlike the 
Tek Rifle or the 
Tek Bow, it cannot be fired underwater, and a better quality pistol does not heal or stun any faster. During a tame, heal mode can top up a knocked-out creature's health, but this does not raise taming effectiveness, except on the 
Desmodus.
Engram and recipe
The engram unlocks at level 118 for 55 engram points, and only survivors who have learned it can use the weapon. It is crafted in a Tek Replicator or an 
Exo-Mek from:
- 300
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 70
Polymer (
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule also work) - 70 Crystal (or
Primal Crystal) - 35 Black Pearl
- 15 Element (or
Red Element) - 15 each of Red Gem, Blue Gem and Green Gem
Crafting takes 10 seconds and gives 100 XP. The pistol weighs 2.5 and has 120 durability. As loot it is uncommon: 13 crate types can contain it, including hard Genesis Part 2 mission rewards such as 'Bulbdog Fetch', 'Circuit Chase' and 'Ferox Cull', and the Genesis Yellow crate.
