SOTF is ARK's official battle royale game mode featuring last-man-standing gameplay with up to 72 players. It combines ARK's taming and crafting mechanics with hunger games-style competition, including evolving events, taming progression, and a shrinking safe zone that forces player confrontation.
SOTF servers support 2-72 players per match. We recommend 24-48 slots for balanced gameplay. Smaller matches (6-24 players) focus on strategic play, while larger matches (40+ players) create intense, chaotic competition across the arena map.
SOTF has limited mod support due to its competitive nature and specific game rules. Most gameplay-altering mods will break the balanced SOTF experience. Cosmetic mods and minor UI enhancements may work, but we recommend running SOTF vanilla for fair competition.
SOTF features a curated selection of ARK creatures balanced for competitive play. Players can tame creatures during matches, but taming times are accelerated. Available creatures vary by SOTF map and match settings, with higher-tier creatures spawning as matches progress.
SOTF is a completely separate game mode focused on short competitive matches (typically 30-90 minutes) rather than persistent survival. There are no transfers, progression between matches, or clustering. Each match starts fresh with accelerated rates and ends with one winner or team.
