Leveling up the melee attack makes you gain more amount of metal

Grab him with argentav or quetz, if u r not patience enough with their speed. (Dont be dumb like me who travelling from redwood to snow biome for obsidian with only riding this guy) damn.... Im so nub XD

I've heard that you aren't supposed to level the melee past 800, because it will 1 shot the rich metal nodes giving you less metal, instead of two hits, which would give you more metal.

The ankylosaurs should be able to break metal walls

Went to herbivore island in the hopes of taking one and bringing back a couple hundred metal. I ended up leaving with 3,700 metal. Such a good investment, get yourself an ankylo

Best dino for gathering metal 9/10

does upping melee affect the amount of metal gained?

Metal boi that's all u need to know

Ankylos are not useless even in the wild. If you're being chased by a carnivore, run to them. They are very strong depending on its level. And they usually spawn on groups, which means they can kill anything easily.
