Raw Prime MeatEach hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Tek Rex is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Tek Rex brings decent hitting power to the table. The Tek Rex has 1,100 base Health - solidly tanky. Stamina sits at 420 base, providing good endurance. It carries 500 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
You'll need to knock the Tek Rex unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Tek Rex is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 32°C and 34°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 30 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
