Saddle protects you from radiation and lava. You will not lose oxygen underwater either. This thing is OP!

-AK

Quick thing- did some testing and it turns out that these guys have a weight reduction for advanced rifle bullets (the saddle’s ammo) and dododex didn’t have this down so just thought I’d say it

Pressing X while underwater will cause the andrewsarchus to sink and walk along the bottom of the ocean as if it were on land! Up for more to see

First tip, it's gonna be good for silica pearls.

Ok so This is going to be great for silica pearls and all but may I point out it gets a MINIGUN SADDLE. Let's just pray for the velonosaur.

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.

This is the best creature in ark.

Need to travel on land? Andrewsarchus has you covered. Underwater? Andrewsarchus. Hazardous area? Lava? Radiation? Dismounting/stunning attack creatures? Andrewsarchus.

Passive tames that you can relatively easily get as early as literally level 1, and will probably be your primary mount the entire game. They can be ridden without a saddle, but the saddle is worth it. Equipped with a turret, functioning as a hasmat suit and a submarine, and fully protecting the rider from everything Ark can throw at you, this is easily the single best dino any survivor can tame.

Oh, and they can absolutely be boss killers if you enjoy super-breeding them.

Have fun with you new ATV Hell Pig.

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.

For Xbox and PS5 players, click the left joystick ONCE to enter turret mode, hold to sprint/sink, or move the right joystick forward twice to sprint. Left trigger to kick, right trigger to bite/shoot. Was a pain to find out on Xbox.
