In ARK: Ascended, tracking your dinosaurs and managing your waypoints effectively is key to success. One useful feature is placing a dinosaur marker on the waypoint HUD. This allows you to easily find and navigate to your dino, making your adventures smoother and more organized. Here’s how you can add a dino to the waypoint HUD:
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Open Your Map:
- To begin, open the map by pressing M (on PC) or the map button on your console controller.
-
Enable Waypoint HUD:
- Once the map is open, make sure your Waypoint HUD is visible. This is typically located at the top or side of the screen, showing your current location and any active markers.
-
Place a Waypoint:
- To add a waypoint, simply click on the map where you want to mark. This action should create a point of interest with a label or icon. You can usually select a specific location by holding a button (e.g., Left-click on PC).
-
Track Your Dinosaur:
- If your dino is nearby or currently in range, you can access your Dino Inventory. From here, look for an option like “Track Dino” or “Show Dino on Map”. This will add an icon to the map and link it to your waypoint.
-
Check the Waypoint HUD:
- After placing the waypoint and tracking the dinosaur, the Waypoint HUD will now show an icon representing your dino's location. The icon will update its position as your dinosaur moves.
-
Follow Your Dino:
- With the waypoint HUD set, you can now navigate towards your dinosaur’s position with ease. Simply follow the waypoint icon on your screen to reach it.
This simple tool can help keep track of your dinos in ARK: Ascended and make managing your journey in the game much more organized and efficient.
