What is a argentavis used for? argentavis utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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!
This one of the best all around creature in the game, it carries a lot and has a weight reduction on most mineral resources and polymer, it can have great damage, and can also have high health and lots of stamina, this creature is a must tame and is a great traveler and harvester even into late game.
The Argentavis is amazing for resource runs. The weight of Stone, Metal, Crystal, and Obsidian is halved. Also it works as a mobile smithy, meaning you can repair your metal tools on the go. They also have much higher Carry Weight than a Pteranadon and most of the time more Stamina and Melee Damage, so they can hold their own pretty well. They also have a crazy Health Regen buff when consuming corpses. Can also use it to transport bigger dinos. Their pretty slow though compared to most other flyers.
I use in pair with anky... Invest into weight for the argy and melee in anky (anky already has a busted reduced carry wait). Get over (at least) 1k weight in argy to carry the anky to metal nodes. You just need to drop them on the nodes ride them destroy node drop any stone/flint gathered and repeat. No moving on the anky required. Leave when 80% of argy weight is full for fast flight back to base with large collection. I got ~3300 metal with this (boosted rates/ single player)
