Tripwire Alarm Trap — Detailed Guide
A wire that raises the alarm
Found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, the Tripwire Alarm Trap works once and lets out a loud noise when it is set off. Its in-game description: "Place two of these near each other to create a trap." Once two traps stand fairly close together, a wire stretches between them and serves as the tripwire.
Named alarms and tribe chat
Every tripwire can be given its own custom name or ID. If someone outside your tribe trips it, a message with that name and a date stamp is posted in tribe chat, and the ARK Wiki says the alarm is heard wherever you are. It does not appear to warn allies. By default, your own tribe and your allies do not set it off; patch 250.0 added this per-alarm option, and it can be switched in the trap's settings. The wiki also notes that the trap has very limited uses on PvE servers, while it is a handy way to watch for trespassers on your land.
Crafting the trap
The engram unlocks at level 22 for 7 engram points. Each trap is made from:
- 30
Fiber - 6
Hide - 5
Wood or 
Fungal Wood - 3
Metal - 2
Oil or Oil (
Tusoteuthis)
Crafting takes 5 seconds and gives 1.35 XP.
Weight, maps and loot
A trap weighs 0.5 and stacks to 10, for a full-stack weight of 5. Our records list it on 14 maps, from The Island and Ragnarok to Fjordur, Crystal Isles and Genesis Part 2. In total 71 crate types can contain it, for example the Aberration Green and Aberration Blue crates.
