Bruh he hasn’t even come out and he’s already rated the best silica pearl gatherer

I’d like to saw there will be a wolf the size of a master bed in ark it’ll be like a better dire wolf

To all the people saying it won’t be good for silica pearls, the devs stated that it would be a great swimmer and good for pearls.

You can use him to go to swamp cave. Saddle can protect you from poison and desmodus (also you won't lose oxygen).

Bro is literally insane. Can run in the water using sinking ability and you don’t drown while riding it. Also, the oxygen drains really slow on him and few pumps in oxygen is ridiculous.

For some reason alpha dinos will not agro to you when you are in the water firing 750 rounds of advanced rifle bullets in their face per second for 5 minutes straight,

I managed to kill 3 alpha Raptors with a wild tame one of these guys and a prim saddle because they went in the water after me but then floated still and let me shoot them for 5 mins straight without even attempting to attack

Well, this big dog can dash through rocks like nothing at the same time it can't break thatch.

Although u don’t lose oxygen while riding with a saddle equipped but beware they do have an oxygen stat

To Seeker

I didn’t see the part that said that it was good at gathering silica.

I’m not gonna type a tip that doesn’t have things to do about this type of fauna.

If set on aggressive and you encumber it, it may work like a turret by shooting animals but my guess is you may be able to put tranqs in it to use it as a full on taming tame… thing about a ascendant saddle with shocking tranq darts, gigantosaurus would go down in seconds. This might be a very useful game when it comes for fighting creatures. It was a big”ish” animal in real life which leads me to believe that it could have around 1k-2.5k health

Honestly I’m not the developers so this is really just an idea

From lava

You dont need the saddle to ride them, so go hog wild taming one as early as you can

It’s saddle can protect you from all kinds of things,even getting picked up

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.

On PlayStation to fire you must press right joystick

Andrewsarchus with a saddle on are immune to jellyfish and ammonites aoe :) tried and tested.

Also they can sink and run on the ocean floor on a whim just hold right stick in to latch to it. Hold A to swim again.

Similar to trop it has a weaponary saddle but doesn’t scale with their melee

Likely won't be very useful on official servers as there's not a chance the pearl production will rival phoenix and gacha setups.

Also the minigun is a widely useless weapon, I don't see why putting it on the back of a tame would make it any less useless sadly.

The charge is interesting especially underwater, however the lack of turning will likely render it useless for rocket running in many cases

Does the Andrew take radiation damage? I know the player doesn't with the saddle on but I can't remember if the Andrew does itself tho, and I'm thinking about taking mine to the rock drake cave in Asguard. Down if it doesn't.

Very mobile and good for gathering perals

The saddle is a literal top part of a tank although your Andrewsarchus could be a tank the turret does roughly 40 damage at 100% damage, would be cool if you could use different ammo like pistol rounds with reduced damage but faster Fire rate and sniper rounds to increase damage but slow down Fire rate, maybe even shotgun rounds... You would love to see it, but since ARK II is "releasing" next year (2023) and ARK recently receiving the final update, this dream will not come true. At least not in ARK one.

To use the speed boost on a controller tilt the left analogue stick upwards twice quickly like you would in minecraft to sprint
