If you're struggling to locate the black gold, we've got all the details you need. Aberration in Ark Survival Ascended introduced some new mechanics to the game alongside a bunch of new creatures. The methods for obtaining resources like Oil are different from those in other maps like Scorched Earth or The Center. They won't take too long to get used to, however, and we've detailed the process for getting Oil on Aberration below. Where to get Oil on Aberration in Ark Survival Ascended While you can obtain Oil using the normal method of harvesting Oil Nodes with a pickaxe or a creature like an ankylosaurus,\u00a0Oil Nodes in\u00a0Aberration\u00a0are found on the surface or deep in the Red Zone, which is\u00a0an area difficult to get to and full of danger.
