Go to gen 2 and smash rocks with the super punch. Easy metal and can travel encumbered

Take a karkinos on a map that spawns then and duel wield ankylos, so much metal

Since ankylos have a much higher weight reduction, if you really want to maximize metal for each run, you should keep all the metal in the ankylo while picking it up on an argy or quetz and placing it next to metal rocks.

Go to

Griffin mountain and you are all set

Easier said than done but get a magmasaur and level up weight. It'll one shot nodes and with 300 melee I get like 600-700 metal each hit on official 1x gathering.

Bring some strong dinos as bodyguards. Magmas aren't good at fighting

Use the Akko on meatl yeet that stuff in ur pockets

A good way on aberration is to bring karkanos with anky and when you finish with one rock use your karkanos to throw it

Crystal isles has one of the best metal areas to farm. Close to the red ob on a river past a mountain range that has some red trees on it you can find a river that gets you stone metal and obsidian. 👍

The way i go on metal runs is go to the desert with a quetz and an anky on its platform and i get the metal and put my anky back on the quetz and it barely weighs anything because of weight reduction note: i only do this on official servers if its unoficial and inf weight this wont matter and you can use cryo pods

Metal. Metal is USEFUL. But where oh where are they on Scorched Earth?

Magmasaur can get you easy 5k per node and abb is a good place for metal.

Super metal guide metal at the EarlyGame to the EndGame

In this guide you will find ways to get metal at the beginning of the game easily even massive metal farms!

Early game metal :

requirements :

Pick or metal pick.

To get your first metals, look for river rocks and use a pickaxe (preferably metal). If you don't have a metal pickaxe, get one is easy and worth it! First, it costs 1 to be create in a forge. When you have a molten metal pickaxe, hit river rocks. You can get up to 20-40 metals per minute if you farm constantly.

MidGame metal :

requirements :

Argentavis (optional saddle)

Ptera with saddle

Metal pick

get an argentavis, no saddle is needed just use a crossbow and narcotic arrows while running on a fast mount like a raptor, after having an argentavis ride a pteranodon and go to a place with a lot of metals and use your metal pickaxe.

Mid - End game metal :

requirements :

Argentavis with saddle

Ankylo with saddle

Take the Anky to a place with many metallic rocks using the argy, release it there and collect metal with the ankylo and take it back home with the argentavis

EndGame massive metal : use a quetzal with a platform saddle with several ankylos collect metal with the ankylos until they are all full the quetz will not carry the weight of the metal only the weight of the ankies

For collect a lot of metal .. you have to use your ankle in the water try it 😍

What you need to do is find rocks on mountains or shores(the shores have shinier, more rounder rocks) and hit then with any kind of pick.

Magmasaurs are the best at gathering metal

A great way to get some of this early game is to use your pick, walk near your base and mine the small piles of rocks on the ground, they usually give a bit more metal than the large rocks.

Large rocks with metal pick> 2 metal. Small piles on the ground>4-6

Holding the mining drill in hand reduce Metal weight a lot, a stack goes from 300w to 75w, be carefull to keep holding the drill. Its not very usefull but at least now you know its a thing. Have a good day.

1 tame a anko.

2 get a saddle.

3 use to mine metal.

4 upgrade its weight.

5 mine more metal.

Thé mining drill have a big réduction on the metal, test it, if u have in ur hands ur weight Will be less than if u have nothing

Argy+mantis=more metal than you will need in the whole game
