It's time to return to ARK Survival Evolved now that sharks shoot laser beams from their heads
Published on
ARK Survival Evolved's latest patch brings a whole host of new content, including laser sharks.
ARK Survival Evolved's patch 257 is introducing a bunch of new content, from a UI overhaul to new creatures and TEK.
Our most favourite addition is the TEK Megalodon Saddle to make laser-shooting sharks a reality.
There are four new animals, a TEK cloning chamber, and upgraded turrets and grenades. The Volcano has had a redesign with a TEK Cave inside, waiting to be explored.
