ARK Survival Ascended The Center: All hidden rat hole locations in The Center

Ark Survival Ascended now has The Center Map that holds many tiny secrets, such as rat holes. Rat holes are small spaces formed inside cliffs and other biomes that act as small bases. They come in different shapes and sizes; while some have small spaces suitable for solo or duos, others are larger in size and can be used for entire tribes in PvP.

Since the looting system is a big part of Ark, finding the perfect rat hole is essential in PvP and PvE. It can be used as a starter base or storage. Ratholes are also better than mesh bases because they are hard to locate and are much easier to defend due to their small entrance. This article will show you all of the hidden rat hole locations in Ark Survival Ascended The Center.
