Extinction core adds a new system of progression to the game through Tribes; Human enemies with unique abilities and powerful equipment. As you progress through the ranks you unlock Prime Gear engrams that can benefit you along the way.

Tribesmen are the dominant inhabitants of the Ark. They are brutal and unforgiving. They swarm the Ark in quick succession and almost never appear alone. When you encounter one, let alone a group, be prepared for a battle to the death.

Tribesmen don't have bases; they spawn in specific areas like any other creature. You can KO or passive tame Tribesmen using cooked meat jerky and Alpha Tribesmen using cooked prime meat jerky. Each tribe also drops specific kibbles.

Note: Tribesmen and Alpha Tribesmen summon untameable creatures (that can be distinguished by their saddles & flags) to aid them in battle. They last for 30 seconds.

Note 2: Female Tribesmen may spawn nude (topless). To replace these nude models, see [discussion thread].

Note 3: There are no longer White Tribesmen in this mod. They have been replaced with Prime Tek Dinos.

General Strategy[]

In order of difficulty

Yellow, Green, Cyan, Brown, Red, Purple, Orange, Blue, Black

All tribes posses some units that have different weaponry, and it is never advisable to engage any of them with melee, as some of the units will have tranquilizing abilities, even the Yellow tribe. The Brown tribe are not very difficult to take out at long range, but they are a tribe you do not want to fight, even with alpha mount-tames, as their flamethrowers are incredibly deadly.

For the regular tribesmen of of Yellow, Green, Cyan, Red, Purple and Orange, it is recommended to use the following equipment for the purpose of fighting them:

  • A longneck rifle with scope attachment
  • A strong backup gun (simple pistol works a charm)
  • Possibly a flamethrower, or a sword/shield if things really go bad
  • Healing Brews
  • Stimulants/Detox

A strong alpha dinosaur for direct combat, or if you are going down the long-range fight, a good pteranodon and a high sniping spot works very well.

For the regular tribesmen of Brown, Blue, and Black tribes, it is advisable to use a higher tier or improved weaponry because unless engaged at incredibly long ranges, the circumstances of getting killed from a mount is a high possibility, and usually results to the loss of mount.

Tribe Chieftains[]

The Chieftains are the leaders of their respective tribe. They are unforgiving and will decimate everything they come in contact with. They are highly aggressive, so be very cautious when one is near.

Chieftains drop xeno kibble as well as different artifacts that are required to make the Matrix (which is needed for boss saddles). Each chieftain summons a small squad of their color of tribesmen.

Chieftains cannot be tamed.

Blue tribe are by far the biggest threat to players, because they seem to be very small out there in the ocean, and they will almost always knock off any dino.
