We’re excited to welcome another fearsome and fabulous creature from Garuga123’s ARK: Additions into the world of ARK: Survival Ascended. These community-favorite creatures bring new ways to play, new threats to overcome, and, frankly, some of the coolest tames around.
Expect a little fine-tuning as the Helicoprion settles into its new home, but one thing’s certain: it's here to make a mark in the ocean’s depths!
There’s something lurking in the deep—and for once, it’s not looking for you.
Roughly the size of a Megalodon but far less aggressive, Helicoprion prefers the quiet vastness of open ocean, circling silently with its iconic, spiral-toothed grin. Survivors report they’re mostly unbothered… unless you’re an Ammonite. In that case? Good luck.
But there’s more to this prehistoric predator than brute force. That strange, whorled jaw has a curious utility that crafters may find indispensable…
Prepare your scuba gear, Helicoprion arrives for free in the base game on August 20th.
Keep up with the development on ARK: Additions in Garuga's Discord!
Moving day is near!
Official Ragnarok transfers will fully open on the 15th of August, allowing players to move items, creatures, and characters onto the map without restriction! Please pack your dodos in bubble-wrap.
Expire servers are temporary servers across the network that will eventually be removed, and you can find them by searching for "Expire" in the session filter.
These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on September 1st. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily.
Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on September 1st, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period.
We’re currently working on an issue related to character transfers whilst a build template is active.
To help mitigate the impact, we’ve taken the following steps:
- Disabled auto-decay timers for structures and creatures, etc
- Prevented transfers if you have an active template
- Actively working on a fix for characters that cannot be downloaded with high priority
We appreciate your patience and will share updates as we make progress on a resolution.
