You’ll kill more of these “dinos’s” than actually tame then you get to a certain percentage of torpidity then you just deal damage instead of it actually raising in torp whichever dev added this was clearly high when thinking of a taming method….
Absolute dog awful way to tame a dino don’t waste your time you’ll just be wasting armour and ammo when it does the wrong roar then get attracted to other tames
With the addition of the burrow buck its easy. You just need a tanky buck, a friend that doesn't mind staying near by on foot and some dinos it can eat in the process. Tamed 2 in about 10 mins. Just beat them up with a tanky tame just Makes it easier
I would highly recommend a 298% pump action shotgun on high level Acros. Use Biotoxin, it’s not hard to get. Make at least 200+ shotgun ammo. Shoot it and make sure it’s in the shield stance while you’re shooting it. If there are no Dino’s nearby then kidnap some babies and keep them in a cryo. If you mess up and it gets on low hp, throw out a baby and let it eat it. Then recontinue. I would recommend to practice in a single player world with creative mode enabled. Good luck!
Could you tame them with velos 🤔
Taming this thing is kind of easy or hard depending on your luck and what method you use.
What ur gonna need:
- Good dmging ranged weapon
- Narcotic or biotoxin (although I recommend biotoxin as it's more potent)
- Good set of flak
- A tame you can shoot off of (if you're free taming)
- Dino gates and large bear traps
- Raw Meat or Exceptional kibble
If you are using a trap to tame it, you just set it up like you are taming a giga and if you are using a tame then just kite around.
Steps to taming (this is with a trap but most of the steps will work with free taming too):
1. Locate the acro you want to tame
2. Set up the trap in a good location
3. Lure the acro into the trap
4. Shoot it until it goes into shield stance (stands kinda sideways)
5. Keep shooting whilst it's in that state
6. Once you've done enough dmg it will do a roaring animation at you, this is your chance to run in and feed it some narcotics/biotoxins
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until it knocks out
8. Put your taming food in it's inventory
9. Take your new friend for a spin!! :)
Use a prim shotgun it works wonders
They are on carnivore island on the island and they always spawn there.👍
Use a giant heavy game with a lot of HP and set it to passive, jump off and shoot a shotgun into the Acro feed biotoxin. You can feed in while standing behind it just have to walk up to a leg or foot and feed it while it’s agro on the tame. Super easy method, it can kill you so still be careful
Tried taming a Acro… on PVE boosted with a level 470 trike. Killed Acro after I fed him around 8 times. I hate this game
You can tame him and they sed you can't tame him
It says it should take 3 arrows to knock out a lvl 46 one for me but I emptied 30 tranq arrows into it and nothing… it doesn’t say that there is a special tame so what is going wrong?
