In Ark Extinction, polymer is a natural resource for crafting tools, weapons, and armor. But this game gives you its two variations, organic polymer and polymer. As beginners, you must understand that organic polymer needs to convert to hard polymer to craft.
Another form of polymer is the corrupted nodules which can be used as a substitute for polymer in raw form. Now, with all the information aside, let’s discuss the best means of farming polymer in Ark Extinction.
Hunting Mantis
This is the least effective method to farm polymer; now, to find mantis, you must go to the desert biome and enter the tunnel at 87.0 Latitude and 70.4 Longitude.
When you get to the entrance, the mantis will start appearing; once you kill them, they drop organic polymer.
Taming Gaucho
When you get a Gaucho, tame it; each creature will give you a random option of what it can produce in its production wheel. So, you need to tame one that creates organic polymer.
Make sure you fill Gaucho’s inventory with pellets and stones. Every now and then, it will sit down, eat for a while, and drop crystals. These crystals contain organic polymer.
Kill Corrupted Dinos
One of the easiest ways to farm polymer is by hunting corrupted dinosaurs scattered in the Wastelands. Once you kill them, they drop a corrupted nodule, which is the same as organic polymer.
If you want to spawn more corrupted dinos, make your way to the nearby element Bane and activate it.
Orbital Supply Drop
The Orbital Supply Drop is found inside Wastelands, which must be activated to spawn more corrupted dinos. These dinos come to destroy the drop, which gives you a chance to farm more corrupted nodules, which can be used as polymer.
If you succeed in defending the orbital supply drop, it will drop loot boxes, some of which contain real polymer in a hundred stacks.
