Ark: Survival Evolved - Use Airdrops / Beacons

With beacons or airdrops you can get new items in Ark: Survival Evolved or unlock Engrams. In this article, we reveal where you can find the coveted airdrops and how to open them.

Ark: Survival Evolved - Find Airdrops

The airdrops in Ark: Survival Evolved can be found on the colored light rays that are scattered all over the map. There you will usually find a box that contains useful items, blueprints or objects. Exactly what you get depends on the color of the respective beacon.

• Airdrops are mostly difficult to reach. But the effort is worth it: the more hidden the beacons, the better the objects in the chests.
• But don't jump for the closest airdrops right after the first start. You need a certain level to open the costs on the beacons.
• For white airdrops you must have at least level 3. Open green beacons from level 15, blue from level 25, violet from level 35 and yellow from level 45. With the red light rays you even need level 60 or higher.

Beacons in Ark: Survival Evolved - that's what the boxes contain

The airdrops in Ark: Survival Evolved randomly spawn in one place and disappear again after a short time if you don't open the box underneath. Should you ever miss a beacon, there is no need to worry. After a while, the light cones reappear in the same place. What you can find in the chests depends on their color.
