The Scout is one of the Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved. This creature was been added in the DLC Extinction.

The Scout is a flying drone which can be found throughout the map, predominantly in the derelict city area. It acts as part of the automated defense, alerting enforcers to hostile targets.

Basic Info

Behavior

The Scout and the Enforcer serve as an automated security force that patrols the futuristic city of Extinction.

Color Scheme and Regions

This section displays the Scout's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Scout. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Scout will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.

Server admins can use this region information in the Console Command "cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>".
For example, "cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6" would color the Scout's "thruster highlights" magenta.

Combat

This section describes how to fight against the Scout.

General

Scouts are difficult to fight on foot, as they have erratic movement and the tendency to dodge as one takes aim with ranged weaponry.

Strategy

It is recommended to use a ranged weapon or large tame as scouts often move out of melee range. Several hits will eventually down the scout, causing it to explode and drop a blueprint .

Weaponry

A bow, crossbow or longneck rifle work best if attempting to destroy a scout on foot, otherwise any large or ranged tame can easily destroy a scout.

Dangers

While not posing itself as a threat, it can mark anyone and anything that is not part of the machine workforce within the city, causing both nearby Enforcer and Defense Unit to engage the marked target.

Weakness

Scouts are completely unable to directly harm creatures when wild, relying on enforcers to eliminate those enemies that the scout marks.

Taming

Scout cannot be tamed by default. To be able to own one of such creature, one must craft them from the following:

• City Terminal  - These only crafts level 1 Primitive and enough slots to craft up to Journeyman-grade Blueprints.
• Tek Replicator - These can craft better stats without limit.

To be able to craft anything better than a level 1, Roaming Scouts have to be destroyed. On death, it leaves behind a blueprint as a dropped package at where it died. All Blueprints above Journeyman only be made in the replicator with various level (scaled to the wild that was killed), stat and grade.

Upon deployment with at least 20 Element Dust, the survivor who deployed it will take control of the mechanical drone and fly around. The Scout will consume element dust from the player's inventory, with the energy gained from doing so varying depending on the quality of the blueprint.

Utility

A built scout can be deployed by throwing a pod resembling a grenade. Upon deployment, the player will look through a pair of Tek binoculars ( Scout Remote), seeing from the perspective of the scout. The scout can be used to perform short-medium range reconaissance and mark friendly and hostile targets. The environment will appear black and white, while creatures are highlighted in blue, green, yellow, red and teal. Blue represents creatures that are not currently hostile, green represents friendly tames, yellow represents creatures that are currently fleeing, red represents creatures that are currently hostile, and teal represents creatures that have died.

Roles

• Danger seeker: Scout can scan for nearby hidden allies and enemies and mark them.
• It can also Heal the Tek Mek by hovering near it.

Notes/Trivia

• You will not be able to mount when the scout is deployed since it acts like a mount mechanism itself.
• You can whistle to bring it back by right clicking when it is deployed.
• The marked tags seems to only be visible when equipping the scout(un-deployed or not). unclear if intended or not
