It’s Morphin’ time! Get ready to suit up and unleash your inner hero—or villain—with the 'ARK x Power Rangers' Wave 2 Cosmetic Pack!

Suit up and morph into legends with the iconic looks of the Green Ranger and White Ranger, or embrace your dark side as the nefarious Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, and more. But the power doesn’t stop there—your dinos are getting an epic upgrade with Dinozord skins, turning them into fearsome, battle-ready beasts. Equip yourself with Power Weapon skins worthy of a true Ranger, and with unique emotes that let you strike poses bold enough to feel the power surge! And, once you're worthy, show off your zordplay by conquering the King Titan as a towering Megazord!

Thanks to ASA’s dynamic cosmetic system, even if you don’t own the pack, you’ll still witness these dinomighty skins in action during online play.

It’s time to choose your side, Survivors. Will you be a hero or a villain?
