Unique Environmental Features

Eden Zone, a starter area for Survivors, filled with plateaus, mountains, rivers, and waterfalls, providing all necessary Resources needed for survival.
Tek Trenches (Rock Tunnel) that act as technological bridges between biomes, and potentially the two Rings.
Rockwell's Garden, an aberrant and twisted region created by Rockwell filled with his eerie creations.
Rockwell's Proliferation, an area fused with the insides of Sir Edmund Rockwell, affectionately known as the Rockwell's Innards biome.
The S.U.M.P, an underground ocean located underneath the Eden Zone, which contains ocean based creatures and resources.
An area in between the two rings known as -Space-, it has asteroids that transform from time to time.

The Colony Ship Map

Genesis: Part 2 has survivors exploring a vast world filled with strange new Biomes, Story Missions, and exotic Creatures. The map is set aboard the massive Genesis-Ship traveling through deep space.

Missions

Like Genesis: Part 1, Genesis: Part 2 includes Missions. These missions include hunt missions, races, gauntlet missions, and more. These missions give hexagons and non grindable loot when completing. As well as certain effects, such as taming speed increase & more. Missions can take place in the Genesis simulation where you will not lose your items if you die, however not all missions take place in the Genesis simulation. Each mission has a gamma, beta, and alpha difficulty, with each higher difficulty providing better rewards. These missions are needed to complete the Rockwell Prime boss.

Gamma Rockwell Prime requires all of the missions to be completed on Gamma difficulty
Beta Rockwell Prime requires all of the missions to be completed on Beta difficulty.
Alpha Rockwell Prime requires all of the missions to be completed on Alpha difficulty.

Creatures

Unique Creatures

R-Creatures

Genesis: Part 2 introduces new biome variants of 19 creatures, called R-Creatures, similar to the X-Creatures. Unlike the X-Creatures, these biome-specific variants spawn alongside their normal variants. This means that you can find both the R-Dino as well as the basic dino variant on the Genesis ship.

Mission Encounters

Some Creatures within the spacecraft can only be encountered via Missions.

Natural Spawns

Event Creatures

Items

All items from the base game, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction and Genesis: Part 1 are available on Genesis: Part 2, in addition to the items below.

Resources

Explorer Notes

As Genesis: Part 2 is part of the story of the ARKs, Explorer Notes can be found across the map. These Explorer Notes document the ARK lore. For more in-depth information, see Explorer Notes.

Notes/Trivia

This is the first DLC to:
- Not have any teaser Dossiers
- Have a living biome
- Allow all DLC engrams to be learned
- Grant a TEK suit upon spawn
- Not have a dawn, evening or afternoon chorus (a musical alarm telling the player it's morning, evening or afternoon respectively ^[1]).
- Take place on a massive spacecraft
- Be extremely focused on Edmund Rockwell
- Not have a new Alpha Creature
Survivors come pre-equipped with a Federation Tek Suit upon entering the Genesis-Ship.
Unlike Genesis: Part 1, Genesis: Part 2 allows the use of flying Creatures.
The biome-laden rings connected to the Genesis-Ship have a similar appearance to that of the Halo Array from the Halo Series.
- Additionally, Rockwell's Innards biome is similar to the Flood from the Halo Series.
Along with first big reveals of the expansion, Genesis 2 Chronicles had begun, adding several new Explorer Notes every few weeks to story maps in chronological order.
Unlike Genesis: Part 1, this map has traditional Explorer Notes along side proximity-activated HLN-A / Rockwell notes.
Asteroids found in the center space ring only spawn when the Genesis-Ship is out of Hyperspace. You can tell what these asteroids will be by the color of the drops around the area. See the article about the space for details
This map also contains missions, like Genesis: Part 1, however unlike it, all missions can be started from one of the mission terminals on the map.
At midnight in game time (00:00) the ship moves throughout the galaxy, giving the sky across the map a interesting effect.
This is the second map that allows players to tame Reapers without cheating, the first being Aberration.
This is the second map to include an underground ocean, the other being Valguero.
It should be noted that the Allosaurs and the Parasaur are the only creatures to have two different biome variants on Genesis (Part 1 and Part 2)
