Fossil Pile — Detailed Guide

A Fossil Pile is a dig site that appears near players during certain events, such as ARKaeology and some Fear Evolved events. It has no fixed spot on the map.

What it is used for

In ARKaeology and Fear Evolved 3, piles hold Dinosaur Bones, the event currency. In any of these events a rare pile glows red, like an Alpha creature, and holds high-quality loot: saddles, armor and weapons as items or blueprints, with a good chance at a higher-tier blueprint such as a Fabricated Sniper Rifle, Pump-Action Shotgun or Riot armor.

Tips

Always check red-glowing piles first.
