If you hit any Arthro by melee it will return 50% of the damage you dealt to him which is the reason why players get destroyed in one or two hits along with armor your high damage melee weapon can kill you(maybe in just one hit if you wep damage is higher than your health) in a fight against an arthropleura so that’s the reason why it is recommended to fight with your strongest ranged weapon
More Arthropluera Encountering Tips
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!!!
Annoying in cave so if you want to survive certain caves, just turn Dino damage to zero so you can actually collect stuff in there otherwise three shot you’re done
How to always win against arthropluera
dont go in caves
Hitting them with melee is foolish, you waste your weapon's durability. Ranged attacks deal a lot of damage to them
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 actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.
