Chitins are a crafting ingredient in Ark Scorched Earth that may be utilized at various game stages to create various materials. This resource is gathered from the creatures with a hard exoskeleton, such as a shell or a beak.
Getting chitin in the early game will help you build water wells, wind turbines, chainsaws, and Lymantria Saddle. This guide focuses on the best ways to farm Chitin in Ark Scorched Earth.
Desert Area
The easiest and quickest way of farming chitin is harvesting Scorpios, Dung Beetles, Oil Jug Bugs, Centipedes, and Mantis. These creatures are found throughout the desert area, but they most commonly spawn at 67.2 Latitude and 88.9 Longitude and all the area around it.
Swamp Area
Head to the swamp at 48.4 Latitude and 49.4 Longitude, and you will find lots of bugs here, like ants and oil jug bugs; you can harvest these bugs for chitin. This is one of the best early-game chitin farming locations.
Hunting Achatinas
Another way of farming chitin is by hunting Achatinas and harvesting them. You will find this creature in the swamp areas at the above-marked locations.
Chitin Spawn Command
If you’re finding it hard to locate Chitin on Ark Scorched Earth, open up the console command box by pressing TAB on your keyboard, but if you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once. After the console opens, type “cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Chitin 1 1 0” and press enter.
