ARK 771 update will soon roll out on Xbox One. The latest Ark Survival Evolve 771 update comes with a Dino TLC phase 1 with various animation, sound and more improvements for various creatures. According to the game developers, turrets will be hard-number limited to 100. This means that you will not be able to build over 100 turrets within a 10k unit radius, however, existing set-ups with over 100 turrets will still function as normal until the 18th of February. Previously, ARK update 770 was released with vulnerability fixes. Check out more details below.
