The new ARK Survival Evolved update releases today
The new ARK Survival Evolved update is a major one, with Studio Wildcard confirming that it will be the biggest the game has ever seen.
ARK Survival Evolved PS4 and Xbox One versions will not be updated today, instead fans will need to wait until February 14 to get the new gear.
New power armor sets are the main centrepiece, which will be available to craft through the new Tek Tiers.
Speaking to Gamespot, Studio Wildcard have confirmed that these provide new abilities such as Tek Vision, identify enemies, players, and creatures.
There will also be night vision and the useful Tek Boots, which remove fall damage and let you scale cliffs just by walking on them. There are a number of other items, such as rifles, jetpacks and gauntlets, which will all be part of the fleshed out endgame.

It’s next level stuff and something the ARK community have been waiting for some time.
The only way to manufacture this new stuff is by defeating bosses and grabbing element, which is dropped after winning the encounter.
