Unassembled Mek — Detailed Guide
The Mek, packed as an item
The Unassembled Mek is the item form of the 
Mek in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Our ASA record describes it in one line: "Massive mechanical walker from Extinction." In ASE the item text instead invites the player to assemble a new Mek. Using the item deploys the Mek right where the survivor stands. The ARK Wiki describes it as an inactive weaponized robot for fending off creatures and hostiles in PvP.
Building a Mek
The engram unlocks at level 91 for 38 engram points. It is crafted in a Tek Replicator or an 
Exo-Mek, from:
- 1000
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 550
Polymer (
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule also work) - 225
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 40
Element (or 
Red Element) - 25
Black Pearl
Crafting takes 2 seconds and gives 1 XP. The packed item weighs 1000.
Accessories, Element and boss fights
- The wiki lists the
M.S.C.M., 
M.O.M.I., 
M.D.S.M. and 
M.R.L.M. as compatible accessories. - A Mek has no food stat, yet it appears to starve to death when it goes without Element for a long time.
- It can take part in a boss fight, but there it only exists for that arena. Afterwards it returns to the map, and its drag weight may keep it out of other boss arenas.
Maps and loot
The Mek came with Extinction. The ARK Wiki also lists Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2, and our records add Astraeos and Lost Colony. 6 crate types can contain it, all orbital drops: the hard and legendary ones on Extinction and on Astraeos.
