Tried several ways, but my favorite is a plain ol’ shotgun. Max shotgun should only take 2-3 shots for it to roar, run up feed it, run past, turn around and shoot again. When it does it’s fake roar shoot once to bring health down as it finishes roar, then continue with same routine. Corrupted riot gear also helps a lot.

Has anyone found one on the island yet? I'm hoping to get one of these absolute units so that I can do more effective meat runs.

So to tame this beast you will need:

Pump Action Shotgun (with Ammo)

Metal Gates

Definitely Narcotics (Depends on the level)

Giant Bear Trap

And another Pump Action just in case the first one breaks

So you will need this tame: Mainly Argentavis or a tanky and fast tame that can fit through metal gates

Tutorial: You need to find a Acrocanthosaurus, These mainly spawn on the RedWood, (Center,Island,Astraeos) Carno Island, (Island) and the Dunes, (Scorched Earth and the Biodome in Extinction),

So to finally tame this beast you need to get the Argentavis and build the metal gates near the Acro, you have to get its aggro and lead it to the gates, trap it with the giant bear trap, and place the final metal gate to fully trap it, use the shotgun to shoot it until it goes into a pose, that is the protection or shield pose, you need it to go into that, you keep shooting it until it roars, run to its mouth, and feed it the Narcotics, repeat this until it knocks out. Now kill some dinos or get some Raw Meat, but definitely Prime Meat to feed it and there you go! You tamed my Favorite ARK Modded and Official Tame! The Acrocanthosaurus.

You can trap acros in a 3 by 3 and 2 wall high drop in trap

Max cap shotgun takes 4 shots once in shield stance

You should use bio toxin and a really strong sniper or rifle and I would recommend using a trap

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

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.👍

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

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
