The Tek Binoculars are a Tek tool in  ARK: Survival Ascended. The required Tekgram is unlocked upon defeating  Overseer (Alpha). They are a finished version of  ARK: Survival Evolved's  Electronic Binoculars.

Utility

The Binoculars serve the following roles (and can potentially replace items mentioned below):

•  Spyglass: to identify creatures, survivors or structures. You can adjust the zoom with the up and down, the maximum zoom is sligthly better then the Spyglass'. When looking at a creature or structure, all its stat values are shown, including the current, max and base values as well as mutations, levels and Color IDs.
•  Night Vision Goggles: a somewhat milder version of them, having a light blue hue. Note that both effects can add with one another.
•  Scout: A better application of the Scout's targeting feature. Allowing a continuous tracking POI (Point of Interest) while close enough to the target, including structures. Use the Secondary Attack while on a target to Activate/Deactivate.
• It also measures the distance from the player to the point the reticle is centered on in meters.

Notes

• Unlike the Electronic Binoculars (Survival Evolved) counterpart, they can be used as the Spyglass on tames which do not normally allow weapons to be drawn.
• As the Electronic Binoculars (Survival Evolved), it displays a reticle when in hand even when not using them.
