A new update on Steam for ARK: Survival Evolved updates the early access survival game to build 235, adding new content, including the Phorusrhacidae Rapidesultor, aka the terror bird, and the grappling hook, described as a game-changing game mechanic. You can get a look at the newness in this trailer, and here's a bit:

The Grappling Hook is a game-changing tool enabling Survivors the ability to scale cliffs, hitch a ride by attaching to a flying creature, wrangle other players/prisoners, or even small creatures to drag along (“Get over here!”). Learning how to regularly use this tool will alter the nature of your attacks and dramatically expand the range of your travels with greater ease and fun!

Today’s ARK update also includes:

• Tribe Alliances (PvE and PvP): Yes, finally, small Tribes can band together against larger ones!
• Fishing Upgrade: Coelacanth Nutritia, common name Coel, are now different sizes (and give different amount of resources depending on the fish size...gives the rare chance of a super-large catch!)
• Fully Localizable Game Text: Now you can crowd-source translation and dynamic fonts for any language without Modding/TC's!
• All Current Items added to the Master Items ID array
