What Is Winter Wonderland 6?
Winter Wonderland is one of Ark’s most popular seasonal events. RaptorClaus can be seen flying across the night sky in his sleigh, dropping intriguing presents for anyone to grab.
Presents are filled with lucrative loot as well as Mistletoe and Coal.
In addition to RaptorClaus, Ark players will be able to spot GachaClaus. In return for giving him Coal, players will receive holiday-themed items like Festive Dino Candy, Holiday Lights, and a Snowman. You can also trade in Mistletoe and Coal to get your hands on a full-body Santa costume, new Chibis, or an animated TV Show Parasaur skin.
