So, You Wanna Turn a Tek Turret into Scrap Metal, Huh? Let’s Talk Ark Mayhem
Tek Turrets in Ark: Survival Evolved. They guard digital real estate. They look and sound cool. But they can be a pain if you’re on the wrong side. Fear not! You’re here to learn how to dismantle these sentinels or find weaknesses to protect your own.
Let’s get to it. Tek Turrets are not regular structures. They withstand bullets. These are Tek structures. Your slingshot and stone arrows have no effect here. To take down a Tek Turret, you need serious firepower or some big teeth and claws.
Explosives: Your Go-To Demolition Kit
If brute force is your choice, Explosives are your allies. Think C4 and Rockets. It’s Ark’s airstrike. You are pilot, bomber, and ground crew in one slightly panicked survivor.
Now, how much boom? C4 deals 800 damage to Tek structures. But don’t expect to just slap one down. The turrets are tough. Expect to use about four well-placed C4 charges to destroy a Tek Turret. Crafting takes time, but raiding is no walk in the park (unless that park has angry Raptors and Titanoboas).
Rockets deliver 400 to 500 damage per shot. They are less potent than C4. But they offer range and less close exposure to danger. Be smart. Ammo is precious; make every shot count.
Tek Tech to Fight Tek Tech: The Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles
Sometimes, the best way to fight tech is with… more tech! The Tek Rifle isn’t just for show. This weapon dismantles Tek structures. It’s the anti-Tek turret turret. If you have Element, the Tek Rifle offers a stylish way to take down turrets from a distance. Who doesn’t want a sci-fi weapon?
If mobility is key, mount a Tek Saddle on your dino. Creatures with Tek Saddles can unleash powerful blasts. Imagine riding a laser-breathing T-Rex and obliterating turrets – now that makes an entrance.
Unleash the Beast Within (and Without): Dinos and Creatures of Destruction
Ark isn’t just guns and gadgets; it’s about dinosaurs! Some beasts are effective against Tek Turrets.
First, consider the Arthropluera. Yes, the giant centipede. It might not be the first creature to think of for demolition. But it packs a corrosive punch against Tek structures. It’s not the fastest way, but it’s unconventional. Let your Arthropluera have a nibble.
Next, the titans of dinosaurs: the Titanosaur. This massive creature is a walking earthquake. It can stomp Tek structures into ruins. If you tame one, congratulations, you have a walking removal service. Just point and stomp (with caution, these behemoths are HUGE).
But wait, there’s more! The corrupted landscapes of Ark: Extinction birthed Corrupted Creatures and Enraged Creatures. These mutated beasts are tough and effective against Tek. Their raw power can tear through defenses. If you have enraged Gigas, turrets should worry.
Speaking of titans, consider the actual Titans. The King Titan, Desert Titan, Forest Titan – these bosses are living siege engines. They damage bases; Tek Turrets are just appetizers. If you unleash a Titan, Tek Turrets aren’t your main concern.
And let’s not forget about Bosses. Many bosses can damage Tek structures. Bringing a boss fight to a base might seem excessive, but in Ark, all is fair in love and turret warfare.
Lastly, for true Ark absurdity, consider the legendary DodoRex. This abomination is all about chaos. If a DodoRex is rampaging, Tek Turrets are as useful as cardboard cutouts. This creature embodies a “nuke it from orbit” demolition approach.
In Short: Tek Turret Takedown Tactics
To recap, if you face a Tek Turret, you have options. Here’s the breakdown:
- Explosives (C4, Rockets): Reliable and effective to create boom.
- Tek Rifle: Elegant and perfect for controlled demolition.
- Tek Saddles: Artillery that brings the laser show to the turret.
- Arthropluera: For when you want a giant, acid-spitting centipede.
- Titanosaur: The walking earthquake solution.
- Corrupted/Enraged Creatures: Mutated fury for maximum destruction.
- Titans: For complete obliteration (including ground beneath).
- Bosses: Big collateral damage.
- DodoRex: The ultimate Dodo-powered apocalypse.
Choose wisely, survivor. In Ark, destruction is an art of problem-solving. Happy raiding, or defending, depending on where you stand!
