Ingredients
The Harpoon Launcher is one of the weapons in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is used to fire Spear Bolts,
Tranq Spear Bolts and
Net Projectile.
It is a very effective weapon for underwater combat and for knocking out sea creatures. However, its not a viable weapon on land, as the projectiles will not travel very far.
Notes
- After firing bolts, it is possible to pick them back up (if they don't break).
- The Harpoon Launcher has a much higher range when fired underwater.
- Any target that is underwater receives x2.3 damage from
Spear Bolts launched from a harpoon.
- This item doesn't appear to be part of any supply beacons. This means outside of the Genesis simulation, they can only be primitive and end up being outperformed by high-quality (above 193% damage) crossbows, which are cheaper and more efficient.
- Spear Bolts loaded in Harpoon Launchers are smaller than ones loaded in Ballista Turret.
- Prior to Patch 330.8 fitting the Harpoon Launcher with
Net Projectile rendered it ineffective and unusable underwater, but effective on land.
