Dangerous, unidentified lifeforms have been spotted on the fringes of the New Frontier. Intel is limited, but initial investigations confirm that this new threat will arrive in Silicon Valley next week.

Exercise extreme caution, Ark Hunters. While these lifeforms appear to be plant-based, they exhibit alarming parasitic characteristics. Preparation will be critical, so we’re gearing up with a brand new weapon tier and a whole slew of Salvage Matrix advancements to boot.

Supreme Weapon Tier

We’ve gone beyond legendary and introduced a new tier of powerful Supreme Weapons. The Supreme Weapon tier adds an innate damage boost and new rarity bonuses, and will be obtainable as rare drops in high tier expeditions or through Salvage Matrix upgrades.

Rarity Tier Bonus Reroll

Ark hunters can now further customize their new gear as the Salvage Matrix has been updated to allow one rarity bonus per weapon to be adjusted through bonus rerolls. If an undesirable bonus has been acquired, it will also be possible to return the weapon to the original state.

Enhancements made to the Salvage Matrix will allow ark hunters to bypass encryption statuses on original, Legendary tier weapons with Arkforge currency. Unencrypted Legendary weapons can be upgraded to Supreme rarity. Using more Arkforge while making your upgrade will increase your chances of success while upgrading existing encrypted weapons. Jackpot weapons will retain all rarity tier bonuses when upgraded to Supreme.

The winds of change are howling, Ark Hunter. It’s time you answered its call.

Happy hunting,
The Defiance Team
