This week, we're revealing our latest concept for the ARK 2 Weapon Modding System. That's right, say goodbye to boring, one-size-fits-all weapons, and hello to a whole new level of customization!




Download in high-resolution in the ARK Media Kit

Unleash your inner artisan and forge your arsenal with an array of diverse modules that allow you to fine-tune both form and function, unlocking tons of possible combinations to create bespoke equipment that is truly one-of-a-kind. The choice of materials you select will imbue your creations with a distinct appearance and character, with unique resources waiting to be discovered in far-flung corners of the world.




Survivors on all platforms will be receiving an EVO Event! It will be active until Monday, the 6th of March. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes:

*Note that these bonuses are multiplicative of the game's standard 1x rates.

• Official Servers: 2x XP, 2x Harvesting, 2x Taming, and 2x Hexagon Bonus

Added a cooking system
Lot's of audio work done

As I said earlier, the development of the game right after the release is only getting more intensified.

During the first two days of the release, most of the major bugs were fixed.
In the following days, more minor corrections will be introduced until the very end of the weekend.
After that, I will focus on major content updates, which are also coming pretty soon.

V. 2.49 is here! After some hard drive issues, we're back. So, here are the patch notes!

Combined the flashlight and laser into one attachment

A better model, made by david7s on cgtrader.com, plus double the power! You can press on the attachment with your index finger when it's on a weapon to cycle modes. You can have the flashlight on, the laser on, or both.

Expanded and improved level 26

Still a work in progress, but level 26 has many more lights now. Also, the concrete rooms have been expanded and there are more entities in the level overall to fit the "entity infestation" classification on the wikidot.

New gun sounds

The revolver now has a new firing sound, and the 870 has a new pump + firing sound! This makes them much more satisfying to shoot.

Tech tree tutorial

Self-explanatory, tech tree arena mode now has a tutorial. Also, the buttons highlight themselves when they are buyable.

Level 17 new area

Start looking around and you'll eventually find a new area, a warehouse-like area. There's also a rare firearm in there, all the more reason to explore it. Some interesting and suspicious boxes in there too...

Level 19 new areas

Level 19 has gotten an upgrade. Instead of it being a straight shot to the exit, it now has many ways to the exit, including a reviook "minefield". Level 19 also has gotten a few new large rooms with many hanging lights.

New no-clip-a-matic doors

New door pictures for levels 27, 28, 31, 41, 201, 233. 297, 571, 1020, arena, and fanrooms

New decals

Thanks to Bidofut, we have a new decal for level fun. Beedo is the cute lil guy depicted in the decal. This has also been added to the fanrooms.

Added a variant of the gatekeeper with a stock

We had the model laying around and decided to put it in, pretty much the same as the regular gatekeeper except for hand positions.

Added cloth simulation to the mac-11

Mac-11's on the floor won't have this, but as soon as you pick them up, the cloth will always point downwards.

AND MANY SMALL CHANGES

What's to come? You can check that out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yVW6j8u5Ws4UVWdEbNKovr_JMEm9M8J3MmiOKmpoav4/edit
We also take suggestions on our discord here: https://discord.gg/qm2mx2cdHh
Over there we like to have FUN =), you can even get a shop in-game like the ones mentioned today (no real money)

Sorry for the limited scope of the update. Our hard drives would not work, and the PC containing our game and derived data wouldn't boot for 3 days. We're back now though; hopefully, that was the last of our issues. See you in a few days!!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce the game's first update.

As you may know, the original Steam release had four "regular" endings and an additional secret one. Since then, several people have suggested the game should have an additional ending — and they had a point! So now the game has a sixth ending and an achievement to go with it.

In case you're reading this without having played the game, I'm not going to spoil what the extra ending is (also: please go play the game!). If you have already played, you'll understand when I say the ending involves a life-changing decision Maria makes early in the story. (Are you a completionist? See about getting that new achievement!)

The update also contains several minor language edits, kindly suggested by Xolf.

Thanks for your interest in the game!

Best,
Mikhail

-Kills count when the entire team dies, not just one team member, so now you can continue playing even if you have 1 or 2 team members down, unless it's in an online level or challenge that has other rules equipment.

Hi everyone i'm going to drop a small fix patch dated on 6th of march. to fix some bugs
