ARK: Survival Ascended saw the much-needed removal of the Movement Speed stat as an improvable ability, making room for better strategy when it comes to selecting an appropriate travel mount. Restricted by speed, certain dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Ascended are no longer as advantageous to use for scouting or traversing The Island. Selecting a dinosaur with access to a high speed stat has become increasingly important, especially for PvP, where players rely on speedy creatures to evade foes.
