The Tranq Arrow, also called the Tranquilizer Arrow, is a type of Ammunition in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is unlocked at Level 21 for 8 Engram Points.

Although the Tranq Arrow deals far less damage than a  Stone Arrow, it rapidly increases a target's Torpor, making it perfect for taming most creatures.

Tranq Arrows are used in the  Bow,  Crossbow and  Compound Bow.

Notes

  • Tranq Arrows can often be recovered by walking up to the area of impact, but will be recovered as Stone Arrows.
  • Upon hit, Tranq Arrows instantly increase the target's torpor by an amount equal to 200% of the weapon damage and give an additional amount of torpor equal to 250% of the weapon damage over the course of the next 4 seconds. (ex. A standard quality Bow would Cause 40 Torpor damage immediately, with a timed release of 50 torpor over 4 seconds.)
  • A second Tranq Arrow hitting the target will not override the torpor-over-time effect of the first arrow, the effects of multiple arrows will instead stack. That means it's not necessary to wait in between shots to gain the maximum torpor. On the other hand, the torpor increase takes 5 seconds. So if the creature is near unconsciousness, it's better to wait after each shot as to not harm the creature unnecessarily.
  • A Tranq Arrow fired from a Crossbow is more effective in terms of both damage and torpor when compared to either a Bow or Compound Bow.
    • However, Bows allow Tranq Arrows to be delivered in a quicker succession compared to a Crossbow.
  • Flying creatures take 1.5x damage from non-bullet ranged weapons. This bonus stacks with the 2.5x bonus from head shots.
  • In Survival of the Fittest, Tranq Arrows become available at Level 10 (along with the Bow), and can be crafted by using 5  Narcoberries instead of  Narcotic (to prevent the need for a foundation,  Mortar and Pestle, and  Spoiled Meat).
  • You can collect Tranq Arrows from killing higher level creatures.
