Notes[]
- On the console version of Ark (Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X and unsure of Playstation 4/PC) a combination of general game lag and server lag can make it possible to completely negate fall damage by opening your inventory before you hit the ground. You can also use this unintended bug to sort of fly depending on your forward moving velocity while falling and spamming the inventory button.
- Humans take severly increased damage when compared to any other creature.
- On official servers spamming Inventory button while falling will slow down the fall and remove fall damage. Spamming it while riding Equus or Direwolf will make them glide.
