Studio Wildcard has unleashed the full Ark Survival Evolved patch notes for update 2.25, which you can now grab for the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One versions of the game. Among the new features included in the patch is the Eggcellent Adventure Event.
Ark Survival Evolved Patch Notes – Update 2.25
- Added Eggcellent Adventure event content
- An issue where options/settings were being reset each time the game is closed and reopened has been fixed
- Introduced an increase incoming damage multiplier from the cryopod-release debuff
- This can be adjusted with the command line/GameUserSettings.ini parameter ‘CryopodNerfIncomingDamageMultPercent’ where 0.25 = 25%
- This is enabled on our Official PvP servers and is set to 25% by default
- Loot crates will now automatically open when purchased if you are flying or swimming
- Completed a full pass on Loot Crates to improve loot variation and quality
PvP Official Server Wipe for the following:
- TEK Suits (Chest, Leggings, Helm, Gauntlets, and Boots)
- MEKs (MEK Attachments & Ammo included)
- Cluster Grenades
Official Server Genesis wipe for the following:
- Tamed Reapers
- Note: Any tamed MEK or Reaper that was in a cryopod now cannot be spawned when deploying that cryopod. You can either let it expire, or throw them out.
TEK Suits:
- Increased TEK Suit repair costs by approximately 20%
- Wearing a full TEK suit will prevent you from being targeted by bees when opening a bee hive
- Capped TEK Suit durability at 1500
- TEK Suit repair costs now scale with quality
MEKs:
- Pistol Damage versus Tamed Creatures reduced by 30%
- MEK Rocket Boost (tapping/holding space) should no longer damage tamed creatures or players.
- Reduce MEK movement speed by 20% when shield is up
- Sword Damage versus Tamed Creatures and Players reduced by 25%
Bog Spider Balance Changes:
- Reduced the range at which it can grapple an enemy to just slightly below maximum auto turret range (5800 units)
Pelagornis Balance Changes:
- Polymer weight reduced by 80% when in Pelagornis inventory
- Increased polymer harvesting by approximately 30%
Rhino:
- Decreased the maximum damage scale from 12.5x to 8x when charging
- Increased the time/distance it takes to charge up to max by 20% (so it’ll take longer to hit that 8x)
- Rhinos are now affected by Plant Y crowd control
Cluster Grenades:
- Cluster fragments if shot by a turret will now detonate all other fragments from the same originating grenade
Fabricator:
- Can now craft the TEK Replicator (TEK Replicator has been removed from Loot Crates in Genesis)
Mindwipe:
- Initiated a one-time forced respec of all characters on Official Servers
- Initiated a one-time forced mindwipe cooldown clearance of all characters on Official Servers
QOL:
- Added a “Grind All” function added to grinders
- Added an optional visual indicator for the TEK trough radius
- Note: This setting is defaulted to OFF. Also it does not save, meaning it must be turned on if you leave stasis range. This will be resolved in a future update
- Gachas will no longer auto consume buff soup/food. This means they won’t accidentally eat them when they’re stored in troughs.
- Disabled cryosickness on PvE Official Servers (Can be disabled on Unofficials using: EnableCryoSicknessPVE=true in the GameUserSettings.ini)
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug which allowed players to cancel the Spinos’ animation and attack twice.
- Fixed multiple bugs related to locations showing Mission Areas when they weren’t supposed to or vice versa
