The Metal Spike Wall is a structure in ARK: Survival Evolved that can be used to defend against melee attacks by Humans or Creatures. It deals damage to any survivor or creature touching it, and also knocks the attacker back. By default, Spike Walls do not damage wild dinosaurs upon contact—they will only injure wild dinosaurs that are attacking them. It is the upgraded version of the Wooden Spike Wall.
