At number 10 is the pick, with stone and metal variations, used mainly for gathering resources like raw meat, thatch, flint, and metal, rather than for combat. Number 9 is the metal sickle, unlocked at level 30, notable for its 50 damage points and efficiency in harvesting fiber and raw prime fish meat. Number 8 features the mining drill from the Genesis update, requiring gasoline to run and useful for resource harvesting with a weight reduction feature.

In this part of the video, various weapons and tools are discussed for their effectiveness and versatility in specific scenarios within the game. Flame arrows are highlighted for their additional damage over time, making them ideal for taming large creatures like gigas. The crossbow with tranq arrows is noted for its higher torpor application compared to a long neck rifle, although it deals less damage, and it’s effective underwater. The bola, unlocked at level nine, is useful for trapping both dinos and humans, particularly in PvP scenarios. The spyglass, unlocked at level seven, helps players view distant objects, check details of wild creatures, and issue commands from afar. Finally, the fabricated sniper rifle, unlocked at level 83, is described as the most expensive and powerful, with limited durability but high damage output.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on ranking various weapons based on their effectiveness within the game, particularly in the context of “Ark.”
– **Advanced Sniper Rifle**: Known for its quick draw, built-in scope, low recoil, and efficacy in PvP when equipped with a silencer. It’s less effective in PvE, leading to a lower rank.
– **Compound Bow**: Unlocked at level 79, offers 55 durability and 75 damage with stone or flame arrows, the latter causing significant damage over time. It is highly effective with armor-piercing metal arrows, dealing 175.5 damage and extra damage to certain creatures but requires a 90% draw for maximum impact.
– **Long Neck Rifle**: Available at level 35, provides 70 durability and 280 damage per shot, lowered to 196 against creatures. It is versatile with tranquilizer, shocking, or pheromone darts for various effects and knockouts. However, it suffers from a drawback of reloading after every shot and slight scope sway.
– **Pump Action Shotgun**: Unlocked at level 55, rated as the top weapon, similar in appearance to a Remington 870 Express Tactical, with 300 durability and significant damage output.
The segment ends with a mention of a special category for other notable weapons that didn’t make the final cut.
