Mechs are a class of mounts available to you in Crimson Desert, and may well be the most powerful ground-based category in the game. Mechs are a late-game entry and bristle with all kinds of weaponry, which you will definitely need for the tasks ahead.
This guide for Crimson Desert is all about getting the All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) mech
How To Get The All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG)
The mech finally becomes accessible over the course of Chapter 10: Counterattack. This puts the unlock roughly 50 to 60 hours into the game’s main storyline, and involves use of the mech to destroy attackers in defense of Gorthak, bastion of the Ironflame Orcs. This unfolds during the questline of ‘Secret Weapon’ where you also initially learn how to operate the A.T.A.G.
How To Unlock The All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) Blueprint
The actual blueprint required for the crafting of an A.T.A.G. of your own is earned in Chapter 11 by undertaking the ‘New Designs’ quest, which has you speak with the artisan, Marek at Zargan Tankworks in Gorthak Territory.
The reward is a ‘Small Kuku A.T.A.G. Design’, which lets you craft the mech at Hernand’s Mysterious Iron Pot Workshop. The required crafting materials are:
- Kuku Pot x1
- Abyss Cell x1
- Cogwheel x5
- Small Battery x5
Speak with Marek once more in order to get the blueprint for the regular A.T.A.G. that you are familiar with already. The required crafting materials are:
- Small Kuku A.T.A.G. x1
- Small Battery x300
- Cogwheel x300
- Power Core – Verse of Sowing x2
- Core of Benediction x1
All-Terrain Armored Gear (ATAG) Abilities
The ATAG is equipped with Iron Fists, machinegun, cannon, and an EMP. A variety of upgrades are also possible, including more offensive and defensive systems. Eventually, the mech will serve as your offensive mount of choice, especially during the long wait times between dragon summons.
That is everything there is to know about getting the A.T.A.G. mech in Crimson Desert.
