Each ARK: Survival of the Fittest tournament has been modified with new creatures, life-threatening events, and more. Changes for “The Last Stand” include:
●Three Boss Creatures! At key points through the match, each Boss makes an appearance available for taming at the central platform. That includes the Broodmother, the Dragon, and the previously unrevealed Giant Ape, who can easily smash through forests and throw huge boulders to demolish survivors and their dinosaurs.
●Six Player Tribes: Stay in competition longer as extra-large teams have more chances to claim victory!
●Improved Competitive Game Balance! This time, you won’t advance by hiding in a box.
●Six New Evolution Events: The world-altering events are triggered by player-voting so that the audience can participate in the action!
●Acid Rain: Seek cover! This red-tinted rain won’t quench your thirst, but it will chew through your armor and slowly sap your Health!
●I Love You, You Love Me: Mate-Boost effects are doubled! An ideal time to launch your assault with gender-paired creatures, but be careful about wild mates, as they can be extra dangerous.
●Hail to the King: A powerful explosive item is dropped at every player’s position… use it wisely!
●Food of the Gods: This extra-special Mega Loot crate contains instant-taming Feed.
●Secret Events: And two more “Secret” Events that will revealed specifically during the Championship match!
