Wooden Spike Wall — Detailed Guide
Sharpened stakes as a base defense
The Wooden Spike Wall is a defensive structure for ARK: Survival Evolved that hurts whatever touches it. Its in-game description: "These incredibly sharp wooden stakes are dangerous to any that touch them. Larger creatures take more damage." According to the ARK Wiki, it can serve as a defense against melee attacks from survivors and creatures alike. Anyone in contact with it takes damage, tamed and wild creatures included, and it also deals damage when weapons or creatures hit it.
Engram and materials
The engram unlocks at level 13 for 4 engram points. One wall takes:
- 40
Wood (
Fungal Wood can replace it) - 30
Fiber - 10
Hide
Each craft takes 5 seconds, produces one wall and gives 3.5 XP. The wall weighs 4 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 400.
Placement, damage and decay
- Platform saddles will not take it, according to the wiki.
- The game counts it as a thatch structure. Anything but non-explosive ranged attacks can damage it, and one grenade or one C4 is enough to destroy it.
- That thatch status also matters on official servers, where the wall auto-decays after four days without a tribe member online.
- The wiki names the
Metal Spike Wall as its upgraded version.
Maps and loot
Our records place it on 12 maps, The Island, Scorched Earth, Valguero and Fjordur among them. In all, 65 crate types can contain it, for example the Aberration Green and Aberration Green Bonus crates. The wiki records it as added in patch 177.0.
