What is a tek stryder used for? tek stryder battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This creature ( with the excavation module ) is probably one of the best for farming simple ressources such as Wood, Stone Metal and Berries quickly.
It is particularly efficient if you want to make some Narcotics.
Note that even of you can NOT put them into cryopods, you can transfer them to other server.
For solo player, if you have acces to Genesis part 2 DLC., It can be worth to bring one.
We don’t know much about this but it can have different attachments for it. But the only attachment we know of is the harvester. And in the forums in survivetheark.com it says prepare your hacking skills if you wanna tame one of these. So I guess we have to hack it somehow duh. And it has a platform saddle. That’s all I know I hope that helped!
From what I can tell there are 3 classifications.
1. Attack- this is the head attachment that looks like mouse ears (Scans nearby threats and shows health bars.) And the cannon chest attachment (fires a plasma ball that explodes on impact.)
2. Defense- this is the head attachment that looks like deer antlers (uses a sonic pulse that impairs enemies[needs work, not very useful]) and the chest piece that actually juts up from the hips and looks like speakers (creates a force field in front of striders view zone[only effective against projectiles at distance])
3. Harvesting- Head attachment thats slinder, looks like a cannon(planet terraforming god, point, click and harvest) and the chest piece that looks like a small cannon close to the chest (accesses world mining drills for resources.)
Misc- there are a few other body styles I've seen but haven't discovered those uses yet.
Turn on its laser farmer and it will harvest anything. low levels are fine. if your near metal it will harvest stone metal and flint from the metal rock. i’ve had around 10k metal in my tek stryder with about 10 stacks of flint easily. it is also the best berry farmer in the game because it harvests all the berries instantly with a big radius.
