Dropped Item Meshes Preview

Dropped Item Meshes Preview

It has been on the ‘A little further out‘ list of the developers of ARK: Survival Evolved for a while: dropped item meshes. As the weeks are progressing, more and more meshes are created. Since a lot of them are already finished, we wanted to show them to you in a little preview. The item meshes can all be found in the devkit, but for those that simply like pictures, check them out below:

And to give you all a better understanding of how big the drops will be approximately, here is a picture of a dodo next to some dropped items. The biggest drops at this point are the arrows (in length) and the oil barrel (in height).

We hope that you enjoy these previews. When we come across other items, dinos or anything useful in the development kit, we will be sure to post it! So stay tuned.

    Thanks for noticing the right ammo type 🙂 the post has been updated now.

  3. Are you going to have to click all over the place to pick stuff up?

      We can only tell when they release it in-game. Maybe they will have some sort of system that makes it easier to find stuff on the ground, but who knows.

  4. This is going to make the game realistick!
