What’s bigger than a Carno, smaller than a Rex, insanely ferocious, and happy to hunt in packs? That would be ARK: Survival Evolved’s new Allosaurus, one of the two new dinosaurs introduced in the latest v245 patch. This major content update adds much more than the Allosaurus. There’s the flying Pelagornis (that doubles as a paddle boat!) to add to your dino pen, spiral staircases and industrial grinders for your buildings, and optional hitmarkers for ranged battle. And for lazy days out on your yacht in the ocean, there’s the new fishing mechanic. On top of all this, the Primitive+ mod joins The Center as an official playable mod, and The Center expanded with new biomes, islands, caves, and creature spawns. Both mods are free DLCs.
If this all sounds pretty tempting but you haven’t taken the plunge yet, now is the perfect time to dive in. This weekend only, from now through Sunday, July 31, 2016, at 4:00 p.m., ARK is free-to-play for everyone on Steam. If you like it, take advantage of the 50% off sale that lasts through Wednesday, August 3, 2016.
You can see what you are getting yourself into by watching the v245 trailer below, and joining us for our Stream Team adventures on Saturday, July 30th, at 12:00 p.m. EDT on OPTV.
