All new players may receive structures to build a shelter, metal pick and metal ax and a few resources to start. To collect, contact Blackcell00 on PSN.
If you would like to defer the initial starter package because you enjoy the initial struggle, you may defer and request a smaller resource package of reasonable value later in the game.
This Ark cluster offers multiple servers with different play styles ranging from PvE to beginning PvP to groups geared toward PvP raiding.
