Utility Tips

What is a brontosaurus used for? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight!
Get a fully imprinted bronto.
Mount a platform saddle on. (Recommend a ramshackle or higher)
Mount it with 6 cannons (3 on both sides left and right)
Place a catapult at the back
1 ballista on the front, complete a base with an angled roof
Then place 5 autoturrets on the roof (2 each side and one on the middle)
Welcome you have dreadnought
Fun fact, these aren’t real dinosaurs! Not technically anyway… Palentoligist Othniel C. Marsh found the apatosaurus fossil in 1877, and well he found another fossil, naming it brontosaurus, although it was the same thing as an apatosaurus. So really this should be called an apatosaurus, NOT a brontosaurus.

These are one of the best gathers in ark. They can effortlessly collect loads of thatch+wood from tiny trees. All you have to do is unlock a saddle for yours, walk around where there is tiny trees, and there you go! To get loads upon loads of berries, seeds, (even longgrass, savoroot, citronal and rockarrot! one of the best at collecting seeds.) rockarrots and fiber! They also have great attacks, mine killed a lvl 17 sarco in under 35 seconds. These are even better at collecting than moschops! If you don't have one, get one NOW. I love my bronto, Behemoth. HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO TAME!!!
