How do I kill a insect swarm? insect swarm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This thing destroy crops whenever they fly through make sure everyone can see this
THEY WENT THROUGH MY STONE BASES WALLS. YES I SAID WALLS. EVERYWHERE WAS SEALED OFF. THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THEY JUST WENT THROUGH THE WALLS. JUST LEAVE THE BIOME
If being targeted get into the water and they won't attack even if ur only ankle deep.
All you need to do is:
Hide in water
Swing a touch
Or get your self a frog to follow you round
One more thing on Xbox you need to be in 3rd person so you can damage them.
They will empty your babies food so be careful with that please let people know almost lost two babies to these things
Use a torch to kill them
A helpful tip should use a few more words
To me a blade wasp sounds like a wasp with sharp wings and weird metal-like armor
I found that a sword deals with them pretty well
Use a beezlebufo they destroy these annoying little TERRORS
These things cant be tamed. A little tip they will destroy any crops including plant x you have growing.
Frog has the most damage against them and then torch below that. Water can make them avoid you but they can also be outran just by walking if you start moving as soon as your targeted. Running gets you away faster tho obviously.
I see people saying to go into water, please be careful though there are sarco’s and other swamp unfriendly creatures. I don’t want to see anyone get mad at people for saying stuff without warning, I haven't tried the whole water thing but did notice they didn’t Afro to me if I was in water so I think it works, just be awhere of the Dino’s around you. Also piranhas are in the water of the bog in Genisis!
If you are just starting the game and you encounter a insect swarm RUN
They don’t damage you in water.
The best way to Kill this sh*t at the begining, is to use the torch.
I just read that on Xbox you bedded to be in third person to harm them, I’m not saying that the person is wrong because it might be something with their game, but I can attack them just fine in first person on my Xbox one. I don’t know if it’s a different Xbox thing or what but Xbox one users don’t need to be in third person, was just playing the game and it let me hit them just fine! 😁
Burn them!
Literally, hit them with a torch
They are weak to fire, and should die pretty quickly
It’s recommended to keep resources in your inventory to repair said torch when in the bog as it attacking with it burns through its durability
They deal the same damage regardless of armour value, also don't try to use ranged attacks they don't work.
Parasaur wont detect them, X-plants wont attack them and the crop plot will be nearly instantly destroyt. Have fun!
A noob's worst nightmare buzzing around,
Just be careful to have a tame to hear the sound,
Can kill it with a torch, if not
Also a hatchet, but some have not thought,
You can easily kill them with a sword or pic
Even though you can't tame this prick.
