The Unassembled TEK Hover Skiff is a player vehicle deployed from an Item and is part of Expansion Pack Genesis: Part 1.
Overview
Unassembled TEK Hover Skiff can cover great lengths of terrain through its hover and flying mode; utilizing element to propel around the map with a flat surface for carrying small to medium creatures similar to the Quetzal. The TEK Hover skiff also has a tractor beam attack that can carry even larger creatures. When crafted in a Tek Replicator, the Hover Skiff will spawn near it. It has 16000 weight and can't be leveled up.
Corrupted Master Controller must be defeated on Gamma Difficulty to obtain its Tekgram.
Fuel
The TEK Hover Skiff requires Element to work. Below are the other various other forms of the chemical that can be used. The quantity given is the amount needed to gain fuel equivalent to a single Element.
- 2 × Unstable Element
- 20 × Element Dust
- 20 × Element Ore
- 100 × Element Shard
Utility
Taming Assistance: The tractor beam can easily disable its target creature to allow safe transport it back to your base's taming pen or so you can knock it out with the creature stuck midair.
Controls
- General
- N - Toggle headlights. Can be toggled via the radial menu, too.

- AD - Strafe left/right
- Cursor - Facing direction
- Ctrl - Disables facing direction control - removing the ability to turn
- Hold ⇧ Shift - Sprint
- Hold Space - Ascend

Farming
It can be used for farming metal. Because you can pick up an Ankylosaurus for example with the tractor beam and have somebody on the Ankylosaurus and the person on the Hover Skiff can fly around while the person on the Ankylosaurus hits metal rocks.

Notes
- In a no-flyer server, this along with Astrocetus are the only entity that can fly.
- It can pick up more creatures than the Quetzal, It can pick up other creatures such as Rex, Spino, Yutyrannus and even Bronto making it the best taming assist.
- The Hover Skiff also makes for a fantastic farming tool. You can carry around a Ankylosaurus or Magmasaur ridden by a tribe mate and collect metal. Only the carry weight of the Hover Skiff matters; the carried creature can still collect resources even when overburdened. Because the Hover Skiff has 16000 weight, you can easily reach slot cap on a single metal run.
- If your weight is at 1000 or beyond, it will not hover in the air while you dismount, instead it will automatically land.
- Based on testing, a conjectural Drag Weight limit for the Skiff's tractor beam is 1000 - allowing the pick-up of Brontos but not the pick-up of Megachelons and Giganotosaurus.
- The Skiff can pick up Alphas and Flying creatures, despite usually being exempt. PENDING FOR TEST: Aquatic creatures, and if possible what happens when they're lifted out of water.
- The only creatures below the weight limit that have been discovered to not be pick-up-able are the Managarmr and Mantis.
- The Skiff can not be server transferred in its assembled form.
- Currently, the Skiff should not be taken into caves, as it is considered a flyer and the player will get dismounted when the enter. However, because the Skiff requires a pilot, it will be stuck inside the cave as you cannot remount it inside. The only way to get it back out is to find a way to get up to it, select the "try to land" option" and then using the "nudge" function until it's back outside, which may take a while.\
- While travelling in a Hover Skiff, the vehicle constantly maintains its altitude despite the change in terrain by automatically adjusting its altitude to the terrain. In short, it maintains the distance between it and the ground and sudden changes in its altitude can help the vehicle gain momentum while in hover mode.
- The Skiff Counts as 1 tame towards Dino tame Limit
- However, if you add a single item, like a foundation the tame count increases by 19 more for a total of 20. (adding additional items after the first one does NOT increase beyond 20. It is only the first one that increases tame count. (Skiff =1, Skiff with items = 20)
