What is a allosaurus used for? allosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These guys are weak on their own, slightly worse than a rex but faster and have more stamina. In packs, they are a force of pure destruction, the alpha of the pack will cause a bleed effect. Because they’re are so many of them in a pack, their damage increase by a lot, 7/10 would recommend
This thing is smol rex that behaves like raptor. I know them for constantly escaping my Dino happy land (the giant area around my base that I sealed off with a fence) for absolutely no reason at all. It was also incredibly hard to get the female Allosaurus so that they could reproduce and get a massive pack.
I’ve got one of these on my server I’ve been thinking about taming a pack of them but haven’t gotten around to it, as an admin I was able to add levels (this is on mobile btw), all of which I pumped into speed and still didn’t max it out, it’s probably my fastest Dino at the moment other than my griffins.
I found out that Allosauruses gain an attack bonus against large creatures. I found this out because I was using my level 220 Allo to hunt and I targeted a Diplodocus and the damage was meant to be about 125 but instead my Allo was doing about 550 damage. I then made a theory that anything larger than an Allosaurus will take additional damage so I then tested this theory on a Paracertherium and my Allo did additional damage. I can confirm that Paracers and Diplos take additional damage and I think it applies to Brontos aswell because I saw a low level pack of Allos take down a high level Bronto so it would be reasonable to assume that it works. I have never seen ability said anywhere so I thought I should mention it. Theres also a pack ability where if there is at least 3 Allos then they will gain a pack bonus which will give the leader (the highest level of the 3) an additional attack which inflicts a bleed effect. Hope you found this helpful.
Guess what the best Alpha Killer is. It has to be these guys. If you get a male and a female Allo then you will have a pack leader, they will be mate boosted, and if you have imprinted them, the one you’re riding will get a 30% damage buff. All you have to do is gnash the alpha and then have the other Allo next to you on passive. Then start to bite the alpha and walk backwards depending on if it’s a rex, carno, or raptor. The alpha will bleed and not be able to attack you as you deal major damage. Best way to get Runestones.
They are great at over powering other dinosaurs, and they are super efficient at killing medium herbivores like the trike, stego, and kentro, because they attack much faster and in packs while applying the bleed effect. They are also good at killing large and tanky creatures because their bleed effect does at least 5% of that creatures health.
