Not worth taming, yeah they’re cool to tame but honestly a waste now that carchar exists. One kentro or player that’s a bit out of reach and it’s all over.

[Essay warning]

A bad giga is just a good Rex, so it’s not worth your time trying to get a bad one, aim the highest you can (and still learn carchars don’t crash out over a little bit of damage).

Now before you clutch your pearls, think about it..

Carchars are significantly cheaper, any two Rexes to get any baby Rexes, cryo them (if not, just be fast abt it), kill the babies with a shotgun, feed just one to the carchar, then kills stuff, and repeat.

Gigas cost significantly more materials, although their traps are fairly cheap (Captain Fatdog traps are best), the amount of tranquilizers you will need to get a giga that isn’t just Rex 2.0 will completely kill your wallet. And now you have a ticking timebomb until a raptor or a random kentro sneaks in and makes it kill your tames.

Although, I think it’s best we keep gigas wild and carchars tamed.

Gigas serve as a genuine big threat, even to more advanced players, with their high attack and health, they can certainly be a challenge to take down. Ark doesn’t have many naturally spawning threats, and simply looking at any tab on this app under the giga— it’s mainly just players saying to “bola ur friend and run.”

Giganatosaurus are not worth taming for their utility, and I’ve even heard that it MIGHT’VE not been intended by the developers to players to actually tame it, and was meant to just be an all around terrifying beast.

(And then extinction puts a billion of them as an untamable variant and other overpowered creatures on the way to a boss fight terminal so like good luck.)

In conclusion, maybe tame them anyways they’re cool to own, just maybe keep them a bit farther away from your other tames.. just in case.
