Tek Stryder
Farmer
Overview
The Tek Stryder is a mechanized creature with a special passive taming method. It reduces the weight of inventory resources and damages structures, making it a powerful utility mount. It can be carried by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
This dino is primarily used for farming and resource transport. Its unique hacking-based taming process and fixed rig setup make it a specialized asset for endgame players seeking efficiency and automation.
Spawn Locations
Tek Stryder does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
You can tame a Tek Stryder by hacking it with Mutagel. The process requires completing a series of missions, with the number increasing as the Stryder's level increases. Up to 51 missions may be required per taming attempt.
Mutagel is the only effective substance for taming. About 500 units of Mutagel are needed under standard conditions. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Tek Stryder yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick favours Raw Meat.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
While ridden, Tek Stryder harvests multiple resources using stomp attacks. It gathers Berries, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, Mushrooms, Wood, Fiber, Cactus Sap, and seeds at 10× yield. Some resources like Cactus Sap and Fiber are gathered at 8×. It does not gather metal, stone, or crystal.
Damage Resistances
Tek Stryder has a strong vulnerability to Instant HurtDinos attacks, taking +120% damage. It is highly resistant to MiningDrill Harvest, taking -100% damage. Melee attacks from metal-based raid dinos exploit a +55% weakness. Explosions and piercing projectiles also deal increased damage.
