Because who wouldn’t want an XP boost every time they went to the potty?

Studio Wildcard’s latest update to ARK: Survival Evolved comes with more than just indoor plumbing in order to go poo. Players will also be able to acquire their very own Hyena (Hyaenodon) as a pet. It can’t be ridden, but it can haul around specialty packs which store meat.

The update also adds a gas-powered motorboat, Harpoon Gun, more explorer notes, and four creatures alongside the Hyena: Hesperornis, Megatherium, Megalania, and the Yutyrannus. More details on the creatures are available through the game’s Steam page.
