There are numerous maps to choose from, assuming you purchase them or have the ARK pass, each with its own perils for you to face, namely the obscene amount of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures that want to make you their dinner.

But it’s okay; I exist in the real world and fortunately am not extinct, so who’s really laughing here?
