One of the new items that was added in the Genesis Part 2 DLC for Ark: Survival Evolved is a Federation Tek Suit. It offers a variety of protection, but it also comes with special abilities that players have become instantly obsessed with. Unfortunately, it can be a bit difficult to control if you don't know what buttons to hit.
The controls we have listed are the default, but the DLC is still being updated so they may change. Once you begin to memorize how to effectively use your Tek Suit, you will never want to take it off ever again.
What Does A Federation Tek Suit Do?
The Tek Suit will take your game to the next level as it will give you superhuman abilities that will help you stay alive in Genesis Part 2. There are five pieces to the set and each of them has its own perk.
The helmet allows you to toggle vision, so you can see at night and identify creatures and survivors. It will even highlight creatures in red who are in aggro mode so you can avoid them if necessary. This is also useful for swimming as it will give you infinite oxygen underwater and can help you target other survivors.
The chest piece will protect you from damage, and also gives you a jetpack that will send you flying up into the air. It will increase your travel speed, as well as help you obtain a lay of the land so you can find a spot to build the ultimate base.
The gauntlet can do a bit of damage as it performs something called a super punch. You can charge it and then launch yourself to unsuspecting creatures, but it only works if you don't have a weapon in your hand. It might not help you tame a Noglin, although it can assist you in clearing an area of other dinosaurs.
The leggings will help you move more quickly over land, as they will give you super speed. However, if you do happen to send yourself over a cliff you don't have to worry as the boots will prevent you from taking fall damage.
