A Survivor's Guide to *The Center* in ARK Survival EvolvedThe Center is a free Expansion Map for Ark Survival Evolved, available on Steam. The DLC offers a default difficulty level of 5.0. This means that wild creatures of higher levels can spawn around you, ready to be tamed. Being the first DLC map, it doesn’t compare to the incredible features of Genesis or Abberation, but it adds some amazing environmental features. From large natural bridges that connect biomes to underwater domes, it is certainly worth trying.
