We have begun migration of most wikis to our new host, Amazon Web Services. All but the top 100 wikis are in read-only mode until the migration is complete. Estimated completion: TBD -- Update: Fri 10/20 11pm UTC - We have encountered some unexpected issues. Our staff is working around the clock to complete this process as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Overview[edit | edit source]

 |
Melee Damage in ARK: Survival Evolved is a basic statistic for both players and creatures. It is a measure of the amount of extra damage dealt when attacking, or yield when harvesting renewable resources. Thus, a higher Melee Damage kills creatures and other players, as well as harvest resources, in fewer hits. It also increases the total yield of resources harvested from a renewable resource, and improves the chances of receiving any rare resources. Base damage depends on the tool or weapon in use, and Melee Damage is a multiplier of this base damage. |
Increasing[edit | edit source]
Putting a point into Melee Damage for players increases their damage modifier by 5%.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Some servers "clamp" resource harvesting, meaning that each source has a max amount of resources it can yield, regardless of how much your melee damage allows you to harvest with each hit.
- Eating
Battle Tartare or 
Enduro Stew temporarily increases your melee damage. - Attacking while you are out of
Stamina increases your 
Torpor.
