Tips & Strategies
Did you guys know that especially arhtropleura can be kill easily using any range weapon? For example like bow, crossbow, coumpound bow and much more, promise it was range weapon. Arthropleura will take up to 125% damage if it was shoot by range weapon. Its poison slightly decrease your health but if you wearing a shield, your shield will take double damage as how the basic damage arthropleura do. Attacking it with melee weapon or hands will inflict 300% of the damage taken (if it was a player) while the tame creature only take 0.25% of its damage. So to kill arthropleura, use tamed creature or range weapon. Using melee weapon is the worst idea ever!

DO NOT ENGAGE OR YOU WILL DIE! I was hunting araneos when this thing came out of nowhere and three shot me! All my dimorphs were literally devoured when I came back. It is like centipedes in real life but instead of killing you slowly with poison it kills you with bites quickly. Do not equip anything lower than Chitin or you will get one shot.
Stay TF back. Bug repellant and ghillie seems like your best option. Also, a longbow and a lot of distance. If it spots you, duck and weave MF, duck and weave!
He protec
He attac
But most importantly he says good bye to your flak
They CANNOT attack you while in the water!!!
Never use melee weapons against them because arthropleuras reflect some of the damage dealt back onto you and your armor and also massively damage your weapon's durability
Always use firearms against them because arthropleuras take 3x damage against them and projectiles and also have a 2.5x headshot multiplier so hitting a headshot will massively damage them
Do not engage,it has speeding acid that can shred through armor,tek structures,and you,if you hit them,you'll either die or break your harvesting tool,I learnt this the hard way on scorched with a level 145 direwolf,it died.
They can spawn alone or in packs of up to 2 and can only spawn in the lower south cave, central cave, upper south cave, and the swamp cave.
