Tips & Strategies
They are fast and are not fun as a noob starting off. The best way to deal with these guys is get yourself a nice shotgun and blow their brains out.
These guys are the worst I hate them 😡 they steel my stack of bullets and spawn on me at the worst time and it is kinda hard to get a shot on so aim good.
I see alot saying how useful it is. SCREW THAT. Murder every single one.
When going to tame one, unequip everything except your armor and put it in a box or tame you leave at your base (far away), then put only food, water, a set of bola and your weapon in your hotbar. Thanks to the new kibble system, you can bring and use regular kibble. Split all trank darts, narcs, etc into singles in your inventory (your weapon won’t care if the ammo is in singles), but it makes it harder for it to steal and eat your stuff. Wait until one is on the ground. Bola it, trank it out with darts. Starve tame it in case it’s friends come calling. When it’s hungry, feed it the kibble. Done!
You can find it around most bodies of water diving for fish. Use a bola because they are extremely hard to hit
This bird has earned it the title: the flying pego
Drop to prone when you hear it attack and it will miss you.
This Bird is spawn killing me it's flying around my home
How to tame an Ichthyornis!
1. Grab a bola, (unlocked lvl 8), and get its attention so it attacks you.
2. When it comes to dive for you, bola it.
3. Grab your bow (unlocked lvl 10), and tranq arrows (unlocked lvl 21) and shoot it 2-4 times.
4. After its knocked out, put fish meat in the inventory. It will take a couple minutes to be tamed, so you might have to hit it again with a tranq arrow when the torpidity is low. (Make sure not to kill it!)
It will gather a lot of fish meat. I mean a LOT of fish meat!
This is the ultimate combo. Pego, troodons and seagulls
If you want to loot a guy without leaving a trace , here is how you do it.
1: pego problems, send a squadron of pegos to pick pocket your target just to piss them off.
2: seagull stealing, next send your seagull fleet to steal their items while they are chasing the pegos. If you are lucky, the seagulls will take the item they are using or the ammunition for the item
3: troodon terror, lastly, so they don’t know what happened, send your troodons to put them to sleep with their venom attack, they won’t know what hit them and you will walk away with all of their loot, if you are feeling like they have more stuff on them, grab narcotics and put them to sleep even more, then search his body. And boom free loot for the minimal price of lost tames. Hope this helps you pick pocket the alpha tribe!
I get stealing and eating meat and berries, but CRYSTAL JARS AND CANTEENS!? How does it not immediately die trying to swallow that?
Used a rare flower to lure it to a safe spot on shore. Threw a couple bolas then shot it with a tranq dart in the face, it was down instantly. EZ tame with fish or regular kibble, but will need some narcotics or narcoberries for higher levels. Use it to get good fish to tame otters and hesperonis with.
I got attacked by one of these guys and it stole my narcotics!!! 45 of them gone, really guys is that necessary?!!!!
Dangerous beast they can instantly drop dead a giga and most scary they can steal your 42 raw meat
They steal your crap like a pegomastax and a pidgion had a baby
Use pteranodon's barrel roll to kill them, level up melee damage to 200% and they will wipe out most seagulls instantly
