Utility Tips

What is a argentavis used for? argentavis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Giving a tip:they can carry metal crystal and obsidian good thing to bring an anky there to break crystals metal nodes and obsidian nodes and if you bring an anky near a metal stone or obsidian nodes it will auto swing it and the highest they can carry an anky they can also pick up a raptor if you made a big raptor trap and want 50 Raptors all you godda do is take your arge(short form of Argentavis) then go to carno island they will be a ton of Raptors pick them up and put them in the trap
How I get large amounts of metal fast is I fly around on one carrying a anky with 2 to 5 following and when I find a metal rich place I drop the anky tell the other argentavises to stop collect all the metal in the area then transfer the metal to my argents tell them to follow me and move on if you upgrade there weight with a sqaud of 5 you can get like 2000 - 3000 metal ores per time if you have argents with 1000 wieht each , each one can carry like 1700 metal . I am on level 103 I still get metal like this on SE it's very efficient.
Their lack of speed is a trade off for their wide variety of uses. Honestly tho, they are good at almost everything, not the best but they have one of the most utilities in the game, cargo, combat, hunting, exploring long distances and possibly more, plus they look really cool for a giant bird,and when leveled to fullfill a specific task(ex.weight,stam) they will fullfill that task for you in style. They are one of the best mid-game dinos, I recommend you get a few, they are fairly easy to get compared to other aggressive flyers like the griffin or wyvern.
