In-Depth Description
In Ark: Survival Evolved, the “StartNearestHorde” command is used to start an Extinction's Horde Crate event near your position on the map.
This command servers as a game event trigger within the Extinction DLC, which is one of the expansions for the game.
The game event triggered by StartNearestHorde will cause an Orbital Supply Drop or an Element Node to spawn nearby.
These Horde Crates are special loot crates which only appear during the Horde events. Horde events are particular wave-based defense challenges where players have to defend a certain location against increasingly difficult waves of corrupted creatures, which can vary from dinosaurs to other mammals.
Once all waves are defeated, the crate can be opened and will contain a bunch of high-quality (as in better than average) loot.
The StartNearestHorde command could be helpful in different scenarios. If you are well-equipped and looking for some action or if you are in need of high-tier equipment, weapons, or blueprints, starting a Horde could be extremely useful.
Furthermore, it can be used for a fun challenge and potentially rewarding experience in the game.
You should use it when you are prepared to face tough creatures and can handle multiple waves of attack.
