What is a argentavis used for? argentavis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Sooo. Today my Argent glitched in to the sky lord cave. How an argy can squeeze into the opening is beyond me. I couldn’t access his inventory or ride him. I guess Scout (her name) flew into a pit and was killed. All I could do is watch the 5k damage pop up and gasp. I lost over 500 obsidian 200 polymer and 500 crystal. I did however gather the artifact but now I’m stuck in the snow biome with no way home. RIP Scout.
Argentavis are your best friends when it comes to ark, as they are helpful in so many ways such as harvesting meat, taming other creatures & so much more.
They can pick up medium sized creatures and even have a healing ability when harvesting a dead body (only happens when your riding the argentavis or when your argentavis eats a body by itself.)
Argentavis also have a weight reduction of a lot of resources such as metal, obsidian, crystals and much more. Argentavis can also go long distances if you put points into stamina, they may not be the fastest flyer but I'd rather carry stuff in my Argentavis's inventory than running from a pack of raptors on foot.
And on top of all that, argentavis can be extremely tanky when it comes to combat, they have high damage and a lot of health.
The reason rexes have a tek saddle is that rexes are famous. Same with megalodons and all the other things that have tek saddles. But really, let's be honest, almost nobody has tek saddles. You have to complete a hard dungeon to get a blueprint, or pay big bucks! At least those are the two ways i know of. Im on mobile btw. Really, argy's and spino's should get tek saddles, (you can find more info on argy tek saddle idea in argy, somebody left a tip about it, it has lots of likes so it's at the top too.) Because they're REALLY useful tames to have, in my opinion. I actully on two of each. Im going to put this tip in argy, spino and rex, so you will see it there. Please ^ if you want argy's and spino's to get tek saddles!

Just tamed a lvl 120 Argy! Took me about 4 days (game time) to tame and he is worth every second that I waited. He is very good with transporting animals back in forth and packs a pretty good punch. I highly recommend this animal as a must have tame. He has a really good wait reduction and is great for resource runs. I highly recommend that you don’t try to tame one in the Tundra with clothe armor though; not so fun.
Excellent on scorched earth for an all purpose mount. Great for getting large amounts of resources over long distances, and it can carry many of the creatures. Most argentavis are strong enough if you pump in a few levels to handle most wild dinos, like rexes or paracers. I wouldn’t recommend fighting or going near rock golems, wyverns, or deathworms unless your sure you can take them on.
