These guys are so great! Every survival i have created was made 40% easier when tamed. They get weight reductions in most things besides wood, they also have great weight. They can do so much damage and if you get too damaged you can just fly away. They are also great at killing bugs. Hope you found this helpful!

the weight of metal is half on an argy

They take half weight for crystal,metal,and obsidian.

Arguably the most necessary mount for single player

Roles:

————————————————————————————————

Resource Carrier

Since it has a 50% weight reduction on metal, metal ingots, crystals, obsidian, and stone, it is really great for carrying resources! It’s weight alone is a lot, meaning it could hold lots of stuff!

Player Killer

Due to the ability to hold most creatures, picking up humans in a PVP area and dropping them is real funny and helps you gain loot

Hunter

It can kill something while carrying it, making it really good for hunting! It’s speed allows it to not get hit, and it’s damage is high!

Dinosaur Transporter

It’s ability to carry most dinos, as I said before, is important for transporting tamed dinos to other places! Upgrade Stamina and sometimes Weight.

If you don’t have one, get one NOW. They are pretty easy to tame, and are great for transport and carrying things, whether it’s resources or creatures. Find them around mountains or in the snow. Pretty easy KO with tranq darts. The only problem is that they’re kind of slow! Thanks for reading!

Argy's are a great tame to get, if you get a saddle from a drop at a low level, immediatly get yourself an argy, it has an INSANE amount of uses which I will list:

1.You can use it to harvest organic poly (use sword or club to kill penguins, transfer poly to argy, has less weight reduction than pela, but has more total weight than pela)

2(ARK mobile only). These guys(along with quetzals) are the only real way to transport dinos. Chronicling them costs essence (expensive) and there's no crypods. Tape and Pter can carry very small dinos only.

3. Metal gathering. These boyos have a reduction on ingots and straight up metal, and you can use it to carry an anky(which harvests and has more weight reduction for pure metal)

4. Combat. Due to their ability to pick up dinos, you can pick up high level dinos and carry them to a turret area (pvp) and players(more dangerous bc shotgun, must i say more? They can also attack the dino they are carrying, which lets you farm something like parasaurs easier. They can also be used to airdrop certain dinos *coughs in level 500 arthropluera* onto enemy bases or tanky dinos into turrets *coughs in lvl 300 carbenomys*

5. Taming. As mentioned in the combat section, they're able to carry dinos, which lets you pick up high level dinos*coughs in max lvl wild arthropluera(i like arthros, can you tell?)* And take them to a safer place(for you safari tamers) or a pen to ko them and tame them

-Your local ARK Mobile player, H12

Put a saddle on one of these, they become a smithy.

Utility of the argentavis:

Jack of all trades: decent stat distribution, good attack, utility, and stamina.

Weight/long distance travel: high stamina, high stamina efficiency, and high weight stat

Material carrying: weight reduction on many materials like metal

Taming: has good attack to clear area and good health in case of getting assaulted by carnivores. Has weight to carry traps. Can also fly away in case of danger.

Regen: heals astoundingly fast after eating a corpse

Carrying dinos: able to grab mid-sized Dino’s like ankys and parasaurs.

Disadvantage:

Speed: much slower than other flyers like pteranodons

Difficulty to tame: found in dangerous areas (redwoods, snow, mountains, carno island)

Saddle: unlocked at a fairly high level of 62, and requires a lot of chitin/keratin

These are great for taming small Dinosaur because you can hold it above while your team fires tranq and you can also go gather prime with it
