More Andrewsarchus Utility Tips
These things are crazy..
• They start running slowly then slowly get faster like the Dire Bear
• They have a charging ability that increases their speed but decreases turning radius
• They have a MINIGUN saddle. It requires Adv. Rifle Ammo and it can be used underwater, and if you’re inside the cockpit and go underwater, your character won’t lose oxygen
• They can jump decently high, and they attack pretty fast along with hitting really hard. They also have great weight.
Andrewsarchus is an ESSENTIAL when playing Fjordur, it’s one of the best tames in Ark so far.
No has yet to say this…
The rider can NOT be dismounted, via that being voidwyrms, being picked up, or even a net gun. In fact, the net gun nets the Andrew, but the rider stays on and can shoot the attacker. Also you can Press c (or whatever button it is) to dash. The Andrew goes super fast but that’s not all, the dash also gets you out of the net INSTANTLY! Also did I mention that when stunned by a jelly or voidwyrm, it is NOT slowed down?!
Crazy creature, use it before the devs nerf it.
Saddle acts like a mini submarine where rider requires no oxygen and added bonus the mini gun fires underwater! Hold right stick to force Dino to ocean floor where it walks and sprints like on land. Boost doesn’t work because same stick puts you back in swim mode. Andrew already has low oxygen consumption so add a few points and use it to explore the ocean floor.
Add: IS fast enough to swim/run away from alpha megaladon.
