Ark Solo PVP Tips?

[trapac]

So I have played PVE for most, if not all of my time playing ark. I am now interested in PVP, which seems fun. I have played some servers, killed a guy, logged out and logged on dead lol. The people who play are smart. Like there was this guy who was sleeping in the middle of a field, with a parasaur and dodo surrounding him. I grabbed his stuff, but the dodos had swamp fever and infected me. So what are your tips for leveling, keeping a base secret, combat tips and what engrams to unlock? Thanks in advance

Run and hide my friend. Run and hide.

Heya,

Might want to play on a unofficial server with a bit higher rates so you can recover more easily if you get raided. Aswell as joining a tribe so you can learn from them, best would be a tribe that just started or is a bit in the game.

I would also recommend playing on an official server with higher rates.
Using vanilla settings when you're solo is quite hard.

Also official servers are a hellscape you should stay away from.

Solo pvpers on official servers are essentially farmed resources for larger tribes. They'll let you build a little bit then farm you for what you've gotten to that point. They'll rinse and repeat as long as you do not come to realize the futility of the endeavor. Its not a matter of if but when.

You're probably more suited to play unofficial pvp servers with solo friendly considerations OR pvpve servers with set rules of how/when pvp occurs.

This is actually a very accurate description. And pretty much sums up my experience with official servers.

If you're looking for a cluster to play on I'm happy to re-direct you to our cluster. It comes with a farming solo mod to make the life of a solo player easier.

Should you want to know more, hit me up :)

yeah, If I was going to join a tribe, It would be one that I know the people IRL.

Youtube how to note run on the island and extinction. Join a small tribes server. First note run the island should get you to 60-70. Go to extinction and make a small base, farm to pump shotties and as much ammo as you can. Tame a PT and then note run ext to get 2x and 4x exp buffs, once you get several of both go to the wasteland with your shoguns and ammo and kill spinos till lvl 100. Should only take a couple hours.

Now you can actually compete. Being single player, find a rat hole, build a turret wall, go grief other tribes. At best you'll be able to raid other ratholes, large bases will be next to impossible alone but you can still annoy the hell out of them tame sniping or los rocketing hatchframes to the point that it entices a larger tribe to raid them. Or just solo 1v1 PvP. Just keep in mind even on small tribes you'll be at a disadvantage solo and will always be limited in what you'll be able to do.

Also being solo you might get picked up by another tribe.
