The goodest pup on the ARK, Armadoggo is a true survivor’s best friend. More than just a tame, Armadoggo can be set in Companion Mode so you never have to worry about losing it. In Companion Mode, your Armadoggo will faithfully follow wherever you go, burrowing under the ground to reach you faster when the distance between you is too great as well as when it nears death’s door. Instead of crossing the Rainbow Bridge, Armadoggo will dig deep into the ground to recover, ensuring it can always return to your side. A true faithful companion.
To learn more about the Armadoggo and all its special abilities make sure to watch our segment on the Armadoggo with Craig Brown!
While not a powerhouse in combat or a rideable mount, Armadoggo can be outfitted with a variety of useful attachments, each enhancing its role as the ultimate survival companion. With a Bag attachment, Armadoggo can carry extra weight, freeing you up for other essentials. The Medkit offers emergency support, automatically healing you if your health drops too low, while Spikes and Extra Armor give Armadoggo some extra bite and protection in battle.
For those seeking versatility, the Speed Buff grants a burst of speed when you need it most, and the Meatsack can draw aggro, taking the heat off you in tight spots. Armadoggo can even carry a Food Basket or Ammo Box, ensuring that rations and ammunition are always within reach.
Other attachments, like the Spyglass and Oxygen Tank, add further exploration support by granting enhanced vision and shared oxygen, while the Rolled Sleeping Bag provides insulation and a mobile resting spot. For those with a collectible flair, Armadoggo can also hold a Chibi Basket, allowing a second chibi to level alongside you.
From extra storage to emergency healing and even distraction tactics, Armadoggo’s customizable gear allows it to support you in any situation, making it a loyal and versatile partner in survival.
If want to hear about it in more details, check out our segment about Armadoggo’s attachment with Craig Brown!
Introducing Vehicles—your new way to zip around the ARK with style and speed! Fully customizable, each Vehicle has a Cab that seats the driver and a passenger, who can fire out the window for some added firepower on the move. Powered by a new special fuel, these rugged rides are perfect for transporting your crew and cargo across the landscape.
Vehicles can be crafted and stored in a Garage, a workbench-style structure that prevents decay and allows for repairs. Survivors can also fully customize their rides with multiple Add-ons and even equip a Turret, making each Vehicle uniquely yours. So grab a buddy, fill up the tank, and hit the road!
To find out more about Vehicles and their Add-ons, check out our segment with Craig and Zane!
Introducing the Tribe Tower—a massive, unrepairable structure that boosts your Tribe’s power as long as it stands tall! Built under open skies, the Tribe Tower grants a Tribe-wide buff that stacks with each real-life day it remains standing, increasing XP gains and reducing boss cooldowns. Every 30 days, it rewards the Tribe with additional Element from bosses, stacking up to five times. But beware—other Tribes can target it! Destroying a rival’s Tower even creates a trophy with their Tribe’s name and the tower’s lifespan.
To find out more about the Tribe Tower, check our segment with Craig and Zane!
Prepare for the harsh realities of the wasteland with rugged war outfits and fierce headgear crafted for true survivors. Forged from salvaged metal, weathered leather, and battered scraps, this gear is designed for those who live on the edge and thrive in the chaos. With your explosive spear in hand, you’re armed to take on anything the wasteland throws at you. Gear up and show the ARK you’re ready for a wasteland war!
To find out more, check out our segment with Craig and Zane!
Enhance your wasteland base with structures and props that bring the raw spirit of survival to life. Constructed from rusted metal, salvaged wood, and industrial scraps, these structures transform any outpost into a true stronghold of the wasteland. From railings and spiked walls to ominous table lamps and makeshift storage boxes, each piece tells a story of resilience and resourcefulness. Outfit your base with gritty props that add character and warn intruders: you’re ready to defend what’s yours.
