Tek Wall — Detailed Guide
The last tier of walls
The Tek Wall is the fifth and last wall you can unlock in ARK: Survival Evolved. "A composite Tek wall that insulates the inside from the outside and separates rooms." What sets it apart is how hard it is to damage. Only certain attackers can hurt a Tek structure: explosives, Titans and bosses, the 
Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles, corrupted or enraged creatures, the 
Titanosaur, the 
Arthropluera and the 
DodoRex.
Getting the Tekgram
Instead of unlocking with a level, the wall comes as a Tekgram from bosses. The ARK Wiki names 
Broodmother Lysrix (Beta) and the 
Crystal Wyvern Queen (Beta), and their higher difficulties grant it as well. Once learned, it is crafted in a 
Tek Replicator or 
Exo-Mek from:
- 35
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 20
Polymer (
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule also work) - 15
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 1
Element (or 
Red Element)
Each wall takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) and gives 10 XP. A wall weighs 4, so a stack of 100 weighs 400. It also turns up in 20 crate types, including the Genesis Blue, Cyan and Orange crates on Genesis Part 2.
Placement and support
- It goes on a Foundation, a Fence Foundation, another wall or a Ceiling, though not on a Thatch Roof.
- It supports pieces built on top: they can reach out 2 ceilings along the x and y axes, and 1 ceiling diagonally from a wall standing directly over a foundation.
- Pressing use while placing flips which side faces out.
- Anything that relies on the wall for support is destroyed along with it, and if the wall is demolished those pieces refund nothing.
- The thick model hides a
Remote Keypad mounted on it, but the keypad still works.
