HLN-A Missions & Hexagons

Complete HLN-A Missions in Ark: Genesis Part 1 to earn Hexagons. Use this currency for fast travel between biomes and to purchase unique items.

Genesis Part 1 introduces HLN-A, an AI companion who provides survivors with a wide array of missions across the map's diverse biomes. These missions are designed to test a survivor's skills in various aspects of the game, ranging from simple resource gathering and creature taming to complex combat scenarios and challenging races. HLN-A's missions are categorized by biome, including the Bog, Ocean, Arctic, Volcanic, and Lunar areas, ensuring that players experience the unique challenges and environments of each. Completing these missions is not only a way to earn valuable experience and resources but also the primary method for acquiring Hexagons.

Hexagons are a new and essential currency introduced with Genesis Part 1. They are earned by successfully completing HLN-A's missions and can be used to purchase several items directly from HLN-A's shop. This shop offers unique gear, powerful weapons, rare resources, and even cosmetic items. Furthermore, Hexagons serve a crucial function in fast travel. You can spend Hexagons to teleport between the different biomes of Genesis Part 1, allowing for quick access to specific mission areas or resource nodes. This ability to teleport significantly streamlines exploration and resource gathering across the expansive map.

The variety of HLN-A missions ensures that players are constantly engaged and challenged. Some missions might require players to hunt specific creatures, while others might involve defending a location from waves of enemies or navigating treacherous terrain. The difficulty and rewards of these missions often scale, encouraging players to improve their gear and taming capabilities. The Hexagon currency and the mission system provide a structured progression path within Genesis Part 1, rewarding players for their efforts and offering powerful incentives to explore every corner of the map and master its diverse challenges. The ability to teleport using Hexagons also makes it easier to coordinate with other players or to quickly return to a base after completing a distant mission.
