Community Crunch 502: Claim the High Ground
The Araneo TLC is taking shape, and it won’t be long before we can show you what’s been lurking in the dark.Voted in by the community during our Extra Life charity event, this eight-legged menace is getting more than just a touch-up. We’ve been reworking how it moves, how it hunts, and where it fits within the ARK ecosystem, with a focus on making it feel purposeful at many stages of play.Once dismissed as too small to serve as a proper mount, the Araneo is spinning a different story this time around. New saddle designs open up a surprisingly versatile role for those willing to think a little differently. With improved mobility and a new perspective from above, it is stepping into a role that feels equal parts ambush predator and tactical support.Its webbing isn’t just for traversal anymore either. There’s more control behind each shot now, letting you take a gentler approach when the situation calls for it…or make sure something stays put when it shouldn’t be wandering.And, as it hunts, it leaves behind less than you might expect, with each encounter offering more than just a clean takedown.Whether you’re weaving through tight terrain or setting up the perfect drop from above, this is a creature poised to change the way you hunt.Download in full resolutionWe’ve been taking a targeted pass on cave entrances across Lost Colony, focused on improving their viability for PvP.A common piece of player feedback has been that many of these locations didn’t feel worth investing in.

We’ve been taking a targeted pass on cave entrances across Lost Colony, focused on improving their viability for PvP.
A common piece of player feedback has been that many of these locations didn’t feel worth investing in. With this update, we’re reducing the size of several choke points to create more reliable, defensible positions and open up better base-building opportunities for PvP.
As part of these changes, several cave entrances will be adjusted. We’ll list out the affected locations and coordinates below so you can check your spots ahead of time.

Players on Official PvE servers will still see the updated entrances, but existing builds will not be impacted.
These changes are currently planned to go live with a major version update on [color=#3498db]April 27th[/color].
