How do I kill a insect swarm? insect swarm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
🆙 this tip if u think that they shouldn’t be able to attack u during missions. I was doing dodo basketball and I kept getting swarmed. Why do they have them attack u when you’re doing missions?
I died died died died died dead
If you stand in water they will eventually fly away because they don’t attack you in water because the torch thing doesn’t work for everyone
Don’t go into bog if you do, you should bring torch.
These idiots don’t aggro you in water.
They do not aggro to larger dinos such as a rex or theri.
Simply go into the water to evade them entirely
Just an untamable swarm of bugs that'll pester you until they kill you or you leave...
Really annoying try not to encounter
So they judt go through all your stuff
If you want to kill these just hit it with a torch, once on fire their hit box will be visible due to the fire animation.
If you need to run away from them go to water. Also, being right next to crustal nodes worked for me thrice, so that is possibly another way to rid yourself of the swarm.
They are terrified of tamed frogs! If you tame beezlel, they actively swarm away from you. Also if you kill a swarm with a frog you will NOT get any cementing paste, only meat and hide
Run...when you see a swarm just run. When building build a 2x2+ because in a 1x2 you will still be smacked
They will go for your crops, but if you have a Z Plant, they will repel away. You can get a Z plant by the HLNA store
Placing standing
Torches helps keeping
Them.
Their hit box is on the ground following you, and can only be hit by a torch! Hope this helped!

0.5 damage but you have to hit the middle one or you can’t hurt them
Alway keep a torch to take them out
If you hop onto a bloodstalker these guys will leave you alone, but don’t try to tame a bloodstalker without bug spray or they will mess your tame up.
