Items from the DLC can also be spawned manually if you don't own the expansion pack.
- Stranded naked, dehydrated and starving on a fiery, drought-ridden desert world, players must immediately seek water, hunt for food, harvest new flora, craft.
Studio Wildcard has unveiled the single biggest update in its 14-month development cycle with the first ARK: Survival Evolved expansion pack entitled Scorched Earth. Available now on Steam Early Access and Xbox One Game Preview, Scorched Earth is an entirely new desert-themed ARK filled with new biomes, creatures, gameplay mechanics, and challenges that will push players' survival skills to the limit.
Stranded naked, dehydrated and starving on a fiery, drought-ridden desert world, players must immediately seek water, hunt for food, harvest new flora, craft new items, and build shelter from the extreme heat. Players who survive the harsh arid conditions can travel back and forth from the Scorched Earth map to the ARK: Survival Evolved main game, taking with them newly collected tools, weapons, and their new tamed creatures to impress their friends and dazzle their combatants.
ARK: Scorched Earth is a completely finished, polished new expansion pack, which retails for $19.99 on Steam PC/Mac/Linux/SteamOS and Xbox One. To play Scorched Earth, players already must own ARK: Survival Evolved, on sale this week at 40% off the retail price for both Steam and Xbox One.

'All of us at Wildcard are tremendously excited to see how these new features alter the dynamics of the long-term ARK ‘metagame,'' said Studio Wildcard lead designer and co-founder, Jeremy Stieglitz. 'While we've had Scorched Earth and future ARKs in the planning stages since the project's inception, establishing its inter-ARK travel technology was the essential reason for making this content available to players right now. We encourage everyone to grab some trustworthy tribemates, don your safari hats, layer on the SPF-1000 sunscreen, and head into the great blazing desert!'

Scorched Earth Key Features:
• Where's the Water?: Players must re-learn what it means to survive and thrive in a harsh desert environment depleted of water resources.
• Explore a New World: Scorched Earth is an entirely new map, composed of seven unique, desert themed biomes – dunes, high desert, mountains, canyons, badlands, oasis and the ever-dangerous dragon trench – each with their own aesthetics, resources and ecosystems, and littered with ruins, geysers, and intricate ancient cave systems.
• Craft More Than 50 New Items: Discover new outfits and structures to protect from the heat, and new tools to help survive in the harsh environment. Carry temporary shelter with you using tents, employ whips, boomerangs and flamethrowers for ‘defense,' wind turbines to generate clean power, and water wells and oil refineries to harvest scarce resources, among many new mechanics!
• Tame New Creatures: The desert's biomes are filled with fantastical new creatures, many of which can be tamed. Lead a caravan of the camel-like Morellatops, or rain fire down on your enemies from the back of a Wyvern. Just mind your step in the vast desert, or you might attract a Death Worm!
• Conquer New Challenges: Prepare yourself for dangerous electrical storms, blinding sand storms, befuddling heat stroke, and unleash the power of the Obelisks to come face-to-face with ARK's deadliest boss creature to date – the ferocious Manticore!
• Travel Back to the Island: Take characters, favorite creatures and items from Scorched Earth back to the Island, standing out from the crowd and making your Island-dwelling friends jealous with all of the amazing new goodies and secrets you find in the Desert.

Two New Creatures
Pelagornis (Species Pelagornis miocaenus): This creature is instantly recognizable from the more common Icthyornis by its size. With a wingspan rivaling Argentavis, it also possesses a beak filled with tooth-like projections for snagging fish and webbed feet for paddling upon the ocean surface. Because of its ability to fly, walk, and surface-swim, a tamed Pelagornis is one of the island's most versatile mounts, though this comes at a cost. The same webbed feet that allow Pelagornis to serenely maneuver along the ocean's surface prevent it from snatching prey from the ground, which may limit its appeal to some survivors.

Allosaurus (Species Allosaurus therotribus): Smaller but faster than Tyrannosaurus, larger but slower than Carnotaurus, Allosaurus is the island's resident pack-hunting theropod. While most aggressive theropods are relatively solitary creatures, Allosaurus lives in groups of three. One Allosaurus is the Pack Leader, while the others are its mates or a beta male. The Allosaurus has evolved to hunt in packs. Its saw-shaped teeth leave its prey bleeding and maimed, making escape difficult. Once an Allosaurus slows a creature with its cutting bite, the rest of its pack quickly close in for the kill…
Additional Update v739 Content Includes:
• New Item: Fishing Rod and Fishing Mechanic! Be a pro fisherman as you apply varied bait, cast the line, wait for a fish to become ensnared, and then succeed at a mini-game to reel the fish and claim copious rewards!
• New Structure: Industrial Grinder that grinds items into a portion of their crafting resources, then converts resources into simpler resources
• New Structure: Spiral Staircase (Stone/Wood/Metal)
• New Mechanic: Optional Hitmarkers for ranged attacks (server can toggle them, as well as client if the server allows it)
• Building Attack/Destruction TribeLogs
PAX West attendees were able to score a ride ride one of Scorched Earth's fantastical new creatures — the ferocious Wyvern — as it made its life-size debut at the Studio Wildcard booth during PAX West 2016 this weekend.
No fantastic introduction for this one, no story or an epic tale of what me and my friends did. Mostly because my friends refused to purchase the DLC; which is fair enough. After all, a DLC for an Early Access game isn't exactly the most appealing thing on the market and for the rather high price of £14.99 it does raise a few questions as to what exactly they were thinking.
Scorched Earth is a DLC for the game Ark: Survival Evolved, which throws you head first into an intense survival game filled with dinosaurs and creatures from myth and legend. You have to craft, fight and even tame the wilderness in order to survive and stand a chance against the harsh and brutal conditions of the Ark. A variety of weapons and beasts are at your disposal as you attempt to climb your way to the top to become the Alpha tribe as it is so affectionately known. You can not achieve this without friends and you will sure as hell make enemies along the way.
Scorched Earth is not set within the lush forests and cold climate of the main game, being focused in a large sprawling desert filled with the occasional oasis. Danger could lurk around every corner but instead it is often right in front of you and you won't see it until it is too late. With the huge variety of new creatures there is of course going to be ones that are capable of stomping you into the ground and one of those is most certainly the rock golem. Far from the dinosaurs we are used to seeing, the rock golem is a chunk of living stone that towers above players and often disguises itself as a mineable boulder. Running away from this creature won't save you as more often than not it will throw rocks larger than you in an effort to try and kill you. These creatures are tamable and make great guards and living siege engines but as with everything it is slightly tiered as to how you tame them. You are required to tame certain things before hand in order to tame these. Atop of that, there is only a tiny spot where you can hit in order to knock them out so you can tame them.
I should have mentioned previously, but I often play PvE on Ark and on private friend-only servers as I do find the offline raiding to be rather bothersome. With new creatures like the legendary Wyvern running around it is hard to avoid getting raided whilst you are offline and it is somewhat annoying for when you log back on and find your entire tribe's home in tattered ruins. All those hours of hard work gone in the blink of an eye as for some inexplicable reason an alpha tribe wanted your low tier gear. This happened to me multiple times within the last year, whilst there have been claims that something has been done to improve this I highly doubt that any company would be able to fully deal with something so rampant in all games as offline raiding.
6180 the moon for macbook. This DLC, unlike the base game does feel like it has an end game however. There reaches a point where you have achieved everything you possibly can and have explored the map to the fullest extent. You can take your items over to the standard world, but not the other way around and so now even without the DLC you can find your settlement besieged by rock golems and wyvern, furthering the imbalance often found in the base game as alpha tribes now have even more destructive tools at their disposal.
ARK: Scorched Earth - Expansion Pack(Reviewed on Windows)
This game is good, with a few negatives.
Overall the DLC is fantastic however limited sight for the long term has resulted in an even furthering of the unbalancing. I would strongly suggest acquiring the DLC if you are playing on a private server with friends, I strongly do not recommend playing on public servers due to the issues that run rampant in the community.
