The High Kings Guards Uniforms
When you rule the island, your guards should look the part. The High Kings Guards Uniforms bring a touch of regal authority to your ARK: Survival Ascended server, transforming your loyal defenders from ragtag survivors into a disciplined royal escort. This cosmetic add-on, originally crafted for a special community event by Mr Flutters, is now available for everyone who wants their tribe to stand out with medieval grandeur.
What Does This Uniform Pack Include?
This is not just a simple retexture. The High Kings Guards Uniforms deliver a complete visual overhaul for your character. The centerpiece is the High King's Guard costume, a full-body outfit that evokes the ceremonial armor of a royal sentinel. The design focuses on clean lines, imposing shoulders, and a color palette that commands respect on the battlefield or at your base gates.
For those running the V2 version, you get an additional prize: the Kings Guard Halberd skin. This weapon skin turns your standard spear or pike into a ceremonial halberd, complete with ornate detailing that matches the uniform perfectly. It is the ideal finishing touch for screenshot sessions, roleplay events, or simply patrolling your territory with unmatched style.
Key Features of the Uniform Set
- Full-body High King's Guard costume with a unique, armored aesthetic.
- Kings Guard Halberd skin included in the V2 variant for matching weaponry.
- Lightweight cosmetic mod that does not alter gameplay stats or balance.
- Perfect for roleplay servers, event photography, and tribe identity.
Compatibility and Supported Versions
Before you download The High Kings Guards Uniforms, it is important to confirm your game version. This mod is built for the current generation of ARK: Survival Ascended, specifically supporting the latest major updates. While the mod is designed to work with the standard ASA client, always check the mod page for the most recent patch notes to ensure your server version matches the required dependencies. Most community servers running vanilla ASA configurations will find this add-on works without issue.
Mod compatibility is generally broad, but if you run heavy overhaul mods that replace character skeletons or animation sets, you may encounter minor visual conflicts. For the best experience, load this cosmetic pack after major gameplay mods in your load order. The mod is lightweight, meaning it will not bloat your save file or cause noticeable performance drops, even on large tribal rosters.
How to Install The High Kings Guards Uniforms
Installing this add-on is straightforward, even for newer server admins. You have two primary routes: using the in-game mod browser or managing files manually. For the in-game method, navigate to the Mods section in the main menu, search for the mod by name, and subscribe. Once downloaded, activate it in your single-player world or add it to your server's mod list via the configuration file.
If you prefer manual installation, locate your ARK: Survival Ascended installation folder, then navigate to the ShooterGame/Content/Mods directory. Place the downloaded mod folder there and restart the game. For dedicated servers, ensure the mod ID is added to your GameUserSettings.ini under the [ServerSettings] section with the ActiveMods= line. After a server restart, the uniforms will be craftable or equippable depending on the mod's distribution method, usually via the cosmetic slot or a dedicated engram.
For those who want a friction-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click installation for The High Kings Guards Uniforms. It automatically handles version compatibility checks and places the files in the correct directories, saving you from manual folder digging. This is particularly handy if you manage multiple mods or run a cluster of servers.
Styling Your Royal Guard
Once installed, equipping the uniform is simple. Open your inventory and look for the new cosmetic slot or the specific armor piece added by the mod. If you are using the V2 variant, craft or spawn the Kings Guard Halberd skin and apply it to a compatible weapon. The visual result is immediate, giving your character an imposing silhouette that separates officers from the rank and file.
Consider pairing this uniform with a matching dinosaur escort. A pack of Direwolves or a trio of Raptors painted in the same color scheme as the uniform creates a cohesive royal procession. For base builders, position your guards at key choke points and gatehouses to reinforce the narrative that your territory is protected by an elite force, not just random survivors with crossbows.
Why Add This Cosmetic to Your Server?
Cosmetic mods like this one breathe new life into long-running servers. They provide goals for players beyond stat grinding, encouraging them to collect and display rare visual items. The High Kings Guards Uniforms for ARK: Survival Ascended is particularly effective for community events, such as castle sieges, royal tournaments, or ceremonial gatherings. The distinct look helps players identify faction leaders and guards instantly, reducing confusion during large-scale PvP or roleplay scenarios.
Furthermore, the mod respects the game's balance. There are no hidden armor bonuses or damage multipliers, so you never have to worry about pay-to-win accusations. It is purely a visual upgrade, which makes it a safe addition to any server that values fair play. The attention to detail in the fabric and metal textures also holds up well under the Unreal Engine 5 lighting, making your screenshots look genuinely impressive.
Final Thoughts on the Royal Aesthetic
Adding The High Kings Guards Uniforms is a small change that delivers a significant impact on your server's atmosphere. Whether you are hosting a one-off event or building a persistent kingdom, this mod gives your players a tangible symbol of rank and unity. The included halberd skin in V2 rounds out the set, ensuring your guards are armed and armored in matching splendor.
Remember to keep the mod updated as ARK: Survival Ascended receives patches. The foxygame.net launcher can auto-update The High Kings Guards Uniforms when new versions drop, ensuring you never face compatibility issues after a game update. With a simple install process and broad compatibility, there is little reason not to crown your tribe with this regal addition. Equip your forces, raise the banners, and let the island know who holds the throne.
