How to Get Flint in ARK Survival Evolved

Recommended Videos

ARK Survival Evolved will have you looking for resources a lot, being a crafting and survival game after all. One such important resource (that you’re obviously looking for) is flint. Here’s how to get your hands on this!

First, you need to build a pickaxe. If you already have one, good. If you don’t, you need to run around with your camera slightly lowered to the ground and mash the interact button. This can be either E (keyboard), triangle (PS4), or Y (Xbox One). It sounds weird, but this will allow you to easily pick up stones in your surrounding area. You’ll also likely get fiber or berries this way, but never mind that for now.

Make a stone pickaxe once you have the ingredients for it.

Then, you need to equip this and start slashing at rocks. Eventually, you’ll get flint this way! It won’t be as abundant as stone is, but you will get it from rocks, too!

That’s really all there is to getting flint in ARK Survival Evolved! If you have any other questions, let us know in the comments down below. You can also use the search bar in the top right-hand corner of the site to find answers for yourself, too!
