What is a ravager used for? ravager battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The weight of raw metal, stone, wood, fiber, and thatch are all halved in their inventory. Great for travelling as they can jump and travel along natural and manmade ziplines, even when following. Also good for combat, highest level has alpha status and they get a pack bonus of +4. Can gather fiber and mushrooms with their claw attack from a some wild mushrooms. (Have been able to collect from blue mushrooms, but not the red or brown ones.)
Use bolas to stop these if you or your Dino is slowed by their attack. You can also run in water for safety because these cannot attack in water. 50% reduced weight for basically every important resource so these make great pack mules. These can climb across zip lines, press jump while looking at one (crosshaie should come up). These also jump high vertically unlike most mammals that usually jump forward, and these take extremely reduced fall damage! Great all around dinos with many uses!
4hour 10min gestation, easy creature to raise early on. Be cautious when taking on a pack because yours will not apply bleed effect like the wild ones. Get bulbdog and explore hard zones quite easily. These things have high weight and decent stamina. Would recommend leveling up health and melee. Hope this helps
Even just two of these guys can kill a karkinos, I was out on RageElixir (my ravager pack alpha) and a karkinos was blocking our way home. I have all my followers on attack my target and went after it, two of my pack members got stuck but RageElixir and one of the males went ham on the karkinos and killed it. Can’t complain about free polymer
With these ravagers you can ride on zip-line anchors, making this creature unique. You can use this feature to your advantage so you can steal Rock drake eggs if you don’t have one, although if you don’t have stew it will die of radiation. They come in packs of usually for me, four, and can gash targets making them very effective at taking out high health stegosauruses when they are soaking auto turret rounds. Make sure to mass breed health and melee for effective ravagers.
