How Lusty Elites work.

There are 32 configured elite species. Each one has fixed stats, effect, announcements, reward tier and a one-per-species limit. Species with the same effect share its matching name.

Individual Species

Every configured creature is separate instead of sharing one generic elite entry.

Alive Per Map

A map can have up to four active elites in any combination of tiers.

Per Species

Only one elite of the same species can be alive on a map at once.

10×

Original Damage

All elite tiers deal ten times their original configured damage values.

Maps are not limited to one elite from each tier. Two Apex elites can be alive at the same time if they are different species and the map has fewer than four active elites.

An elite spawns

One of the configured species appears at level 1,000 with its elite name, tier stats and applied combat effect.

Players are notified

ARK chat and Discord announce the spawn. Discord can show the creature, level, stats and coordinates.

The hunt begins

Use the announcement location to track it down. Expect extreme damage and behaviour changed by its active effect.

The elite is defeated

A player kill is announced with the killer and location. Player kills award the tier payout and can also roll bonus loot.

The Radioactive effect surrounds the elite with ash and a radiation field. Bring hazard protection for close combat.

If the elite dies to the environment or another creature, ARK and Discord report the elite and its recorded location.
