The Pike is one of the Weapons in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is unlocked at Level 25 for 10 Engram Points.

Unlike its predecessor, the  Spear, the Pike cannot be thrown from afar. However, the Pike's higher damage, combined with the fact that it cannot randomly break, makes it a generally more reliable weapon.

The Pike has 40 Durability, costing 0.15 Durability per use, for a total of approximately 267 uses.

Notes

• Survivors can use Pikes to harvest corpses. It functions in a way similar to a Pick, as it yields more  Raw Meat than  Hide when used in this manner. However, it is not advised to harvest materials with the Pike, as Picks and Hatchets are more effective.
• The Pike has greater range and knockback than the  Sword, which allows for attacking many creatures at a safer range. However, as the Pike is a two-handed weapon, it cannot be used in conjunction with a shield.
• Though the Pike's inability to be thrown may seem like a downgrade, most survivors will unlock the  Crossbow at the same time as the Pike, meaning that ranged combat won't be much of an issue.
