Getting the Tek Shoulder Cannon in ARK: Genesis is no easy feat, but with the right preparation and strategy, you can obtain this powerful weapon. To start, you’ll need to defeat the Corrupted Master Controller (Beta), which is not a task for the faint of heart. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get the Tek Shoulder Cannon:
1. Prepare for the battle: Before taking on the Corrupted Master Controller, it’s crucial to make sure you and your tribe are well-prepared. This means having a strong army of high-level and well-equipped creatures, such as Rexes or Gigas, along with a solid team of players armed with high-tier weapons and armor. Additionally, stock up on healing items, ammunition, and any other supplies you might need during the fight.
2. Locate the Corrupted Master Controller: The Corrupted Master Controller can be found in the final boss arena of the Genesis simulation, known as the “Final Test Chamber.” This location is accessible through the HLN-A teleportation menu, so make sure you have unlocked it before attempting to reach the boss.
3. Activate the boss fight: Once you’re inside the Final Test Chamber, you’ll need to activate the boss fight by inserting the required number of Element into the terminal. The specific amount of Element needed may vary depending on the difficulty level you choose. Once the Element is inserted, the boss fight will begin.
4. Defeat the Corrupted Master Controller: The Corrupted Master Controller is a formidable opponent with a variety of attacks and abilities. It’s important to stay vigilant and coordinate your attacks to maximize damage while avoiding taking unnecessary hits. Focus your firepower on the boss, and make use of any special abilities or buffs your creatures and players have. Be prepared for a long and challenging battle, as the boss has multiple phases.
5. Claim your victory and obtain the Tekgram: Once you have successfully defeated the Corrupted Master Controller (Beta), you will be rewarded with the Tekgram for the Shoulder Cannon. This Tekgram allows you to learn the engram required to craft the Tek Shoulder Cannon at a Tek Replicator.
6. Craft the Tek Shoulder Cannon: With the Tekgram in your possession, head to a Tek Replicator and craft the Tek Shoulder Cannon. The crafting requirements include Element Shards, which can be obtained by killing various creatures in the Genesis simulation. Once you have gathered the necessary resources, craft the Tek Shoulder Cannon and equip it to your character.
The Tek Shoulder Cannon is an incredibly versatile and powerful weapon, offering three different fire modes: a long-range laser beam, a shotgun-like blast, and a rapid-fire energy projectile. Additionally, it can be used as a shield to block incoming damage, providing an extra layer of defense in combat.
Remember that obtaining the Tek Shoulder Cannon requires not only skill in battle but also substantial preparation and resources. Be patient, gather your allies, and face the challenge head-on. Good luck on your journey to obtain this incredible weapon!
