What is a brontosaurus used for? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight!
Brontosauruses are amazing creatures! Here are the reasons why:
1. It has enormous weight and can carry creatures that have supplies to add almost no weight.
2. It can have a huge platform saddle, allowing you to have a small portable base for resource runs or base raiding.
3. It is a complete tank and can survive multiple Rexes for minutes.
That’s all. 😀
Even though they're not Multi-passenger, their saddle is so dang big that you can drive, while your friends stand & chill behind you. Once you get a saddle for one, you and your friends can get up by: you mount it, then dismount. you'll still be on the saddle. You and your friends repeat until you're all on, then One of you drives, and off you go. If there's still mor of you and no room, get a diplo and now you all have seats. Please ^ if this was helpful!
Single player uses:
1. Mobile base: Brontosaurus has a pretty big platform saddle, you can literally just live on their back aside from getting vegetable crops. They're good on big maps like ragnarok if you can't decide where to live.
2. Berry gatherer: It has the most efficient gathering rate, just keep in mind it's slower than molasses.
3. Dino protector: Brontos have a rather low damage output for their size, but male up for it with high knockback and a massive AOE.
I sometimes wonder why the bronto only has a tail whip attack, I mean, just look at it, it’s huge, I think it should have a stomp attack, or an attack similar to the paracertherium (gets up on its hind legs and slams down on its front legs). It makes sense because of how big it is, it would also make the bronto, less boring, if anyone knows the ark discord can someone suggest this to them. Hopefully it becomes available across all platforms, especially console, pc and mobile.
