The Improvised Explosive Device is one of the explosives in ARK: Survival Evolved. Unlike the thrown Grenade, it can be placed in pairs to create traps.
The IED can be triggered by anyone crossing the tripwire, including the creator and tribe members. The creator and tribe members can however unwire a paired device from the radial options menu. Unwired devices can be picked up and replaced.

Notes
- The IED can be triggered by tribemates. Be careful.
- The Improvised Explosive Device is known as C4 Tripwire and Trip Wire C4 in the game files.
- IED's are best used as traps for luring players and/or hostile dinosaurs into.
- The best placements for IED's are around the outside of enemy bases, specifically the doors, and in dense forested areas where they cannot be easily spotted.
Changelog
Patch | ![]() |
---|---|
201.2 | IED's don't use demolition explosion type anymore, as they were not intended to. (effectively cuts their damage against structures by about 60%). They are anti-personnel/defensive. |
