Utility Tips
What is a astrocetus used for? astrocetus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The thing that makes these SO effective is that they can go in the air and in the sea. Meaning that if you are being chased through the air, you can flee to the water and vice versa. They also have a tek saddle that has one tek cannon (manned by human) on the bottom front, one (also manned by human) on the bottom back, and one (still manned by human) on the middle top. It also, being a tek saddle, can shoot from its head like all other tek saddles. Even better, it has a tek bomb feature taht teh driver can enable, and it drops a tek bomb that explodes, dealing massive damage to an area. Oh, and it can take creatures with it when warping through hyperspace. The only problem is that it’s so slow, and when I had one even with wandering off it would just go wherever. It was a bug probably fixed by now, but it doesn’t even fit through a behemoth gateway, and it’s also really slow. It does have its own attacks, but they aren’t that effective.
Ok imma just explain the tek saddle. It has 3 tek turrets, one on the top and two on the bottom, so it takes a total of four people (3 turret players and 1 driver) to man it. The tek saddle also allows the driver to shoot wherever the head is pointing, and the driver can drop tek bombs. Shooting from the turrets and head takes element, while bombing takes the snot stuff. In total, the thing is excellent for base raids, as it can shoot down all dinos in the air or on land, it can go under water and get them too, and it can bomb a base with a tek bomb. It’s rly fun :)
