You Can Now Attach A Frickin' Laser Beam To Your Shark's Head in ARK: Survival Evolved

ARK: Survival Evolved has somewhat of a reputation for monthly, over-the-top content updates, each adding to an ever-growing roster of prehistoric beasts and primitive (and not-so-primitive) gadgets in the game. This month, players can experience a new extreme in wacky ARK antics, with a new Megalodon saddle that acts doubly an homage to one of the best comedies of all time.

Like other content updates, Patch 257 brings substantial changes that will dramatically alter how players strategize their time on the island, and in this case, a new item tier called TEK will play a major role. TEK is an Element resource, which is granted after successfully completing Boss Arenas, or earned through Element Shards, which can be obtained via crafting at a TEK Replicator. The Megalodon Saddle, which allows your prehistoric shark to shoot lasers, is among them, as well as a new type of grenade and turret, and a special cloning chamber. All TEK is end-game content though, so get to grinding.
