Utility Tips
What is a kaprosuchus used for? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These guys are perfect for traveling around the map, you can jump off a cliff and not die with their leap attack. I have a level 8 I believe and have explored very far from my base, came back with a crap load of electronics and stuff from tek parasaurs I killed. Very useful and would recommend. To tame you just need to keep your distance from it and avoid its leap attack as best as you can, they don't run that fast so just shoot it with some tranq arrows till it's knocked out. ^so people see
I think the devs should add a command for singleplayers that makes it possible for the Kapro to grab creatures on it‘s own without attacking them, so the player can stand in front of him to knock the dinosaur out (as a command like you can activiate turret mode with the chalicotherium)
Lap rod are great for caves with a lot of parkour because they can jump so far and long but if you have a thylo use both. Use the kapro for jumping forward and use the thylo for climbing vertically. Very useful pair you can also use weapons while on both. Plus ja pros are fun to tame just fly low in a swamp on a pt or Argie and they’ll come give you a hug.
This creature kills you so fast that it crashes the game. No, seriously. I’ve had my game crash on several occasions, every time the cause being death by Kapro. Not sure if this is a known bug or not, but I’d just like to put it out there in case anyone has had the same issue.
This is a very useful mount, especially in PvP. It has a special jump attack, which can grab players and hold them, or knock them of their mounts. It doesn't have much health though. It is fast on land and in the water, however increasing movement speed doesn't affect swimming speed.
These guys do good damage so that's OK for hunting ... but the bad thing is there slow.. there speed is compared to a parasaur and swim speed they swim like a baryonyx not that fast.. so it's better to fight stuff that's slow or will fight back except raptors cause they can pounce you off and kill you and if your kapro is on passive it'll also die so the recommended dinos/creatures to kill are : phiomias, trikes, parasaurs, dilophs, low lvl raptors (1-20) and iguanodons if you can kill them before they start to run away.
