Scorched Earth is the first paid DLC expansion pack for ARK: Survival Evolved.

Scorched Earth was released on September 1, 2016 for the PC version of ARK and for Xbox One at the initial price of $19.99 USD. It was released on PS4 on December 6 for the same price.

The Scorched Earth soundtrack was composed by Gareth Coker.

Overview [ ]

Scorched Earth adds 12 new creatures with 5 variations, 60 new engrams, a new boss, and a whole new map.

Creatures tamed and items received can be brought to the vanilla island and used by people with and without the expansion. Items from the DLC can also be spawned manually if you don't own the expansion pack. Three of the new creatures have multiple variations, namely the  Jugbug (Water and Oil), the  Wyvern (Fire, Lightning, and Poison) and the  Rock Elemental (Rock and Rubble).

Unique Environmental Features [ ]

The Desert Map [ ]

Being entirely a desert rather than an island surrounded by water, water collection becomes a more challenging obstacle. Natural water sources are rare, requiring the collection of water from other sources, such as  cactus,  water wells,  Jugbugs, or  Morellatops. Heat stroke is a potential side effect of too much heat exposure, having a similar effect to being  drunk. Also the naturally harsh environment damages generators and certain structures.

Scorched Earth has three unique weather patterns: Sandstorms radically reduce visibility and drain stamina, Superheat will drain your water at a much faster rate than normal heat and induce Heat Stroke fairly quickly, while electrical storms will temporarily shut down electrical devices and prevent firearms (and Tek Saddles) from firing. The  Electrical Generator and the  Chemistry Bench will not turn off if the item Structures are covered.

Superheat can be quickly stopped if you go very close to the Oasis.  Desert Goggle can be used to see better during sandstorms.

Notes/Trivia [ ]

  • Scorched Earth was the first Expansion Pack for Ark.
  • Scorched Earth was released before the actual base game was finished.
  • Scorched Earth and Lost Island are the only two Expansions to be released on time; all other maps have experienced delays.
  • Interestingly, the Manticore is the only Guardian ever shown on Scorched Earth. It's unknown what happened to the other two Guardians.
  • Scorched Earth is the only Expansion Pack to have Trophy Heads of Alpha Creatures.
  • Scorched Earth is the only Expansion Pack that doesn't currently have an ending. An ending for scorched earth is planned for later in 2022.[ citation needed ]
  • Many of the Scorched Earth creatures and items can be found on the Ragnarok map, except the  Phoenix.
  • Scorched Earth is the only Expansion Pack to not have variations of previously existing creatures.
  • Unlike the main game, where almost all creatures are based on extinct animals, this expansion pack added mostly creatures from mythology ( Deathworm,  Rock Elemental,  Phoenix, the  Fire Wyvern  Lightning Wyvern and  Poison Wyvern, and finally the  Manticore).
  • In the DevKit, there is a Tek Wyvern Saddle, as well as two SE creatures that have not yet been implemented: The Hive and The Swarm.
  • Prior to the release of Genesis, players who logged their survivor out from Scorched Earth had the same title screen as when they logged their survivor out of Aberration.
