To the guy who saw a bronto get killed by a raptor cause it couldn’t hit the raptor, my bro to can hit dodos 💀
Brontosaurus
The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

What ARK players use the Brontosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Build a platform with furnaces and storage on it's back, take it out to a metal filled area, gather metal all whilst dumping it into it's inventory. When your done put all the metal into the massive amount of furnaces you have on it and smelt it up, then store it!
Tail is good to slide down when you got nothing to do
20 trees, got 1.8k thatch, these guys make deforestation easy
Best berry gatherer in the game. Solid for clearing out forests and inadvertently collecting tons of thatch and wood. Super heigh weight stat, super high health stat, decent attack with its tail and massive knockback. While you're riding one of these most dinos will ignore…
Best berry gatherer in the game. Solid for clearing out forests and inadvertently collecting tons of thatch and wood. Super heigh weight stat, super high health stat, decent attack with its tail and massive knockback. While you're riding one of these most dinos will ignore you. You can unlock a platform saddle for these guys, allowing you to create a mobile base on their back. This makes them great for long expeditions or resource runs as long as you're not in a hurry. Also, they swim deceptively fast. I use mine as a ferry to herbivore Island sometimes and cross the ocean super quickly. All in all a super solid tame that has its uses from early game through end game.
if you dismount and stand on your bronto's head and then make it follow you, you can move forward without controlling the bronto.
They are big . They are big!!!!!!’
I used a tamed one to get enough eggs for exceptional kibble (yellow kibble) before getting a rex. Hope this helps others like it helped me
If you have a brontesaurs with a saddle you'll know the struggle of getting off it you can just stop riding and walk down the tail its a much lower drop
Bronto is far better aquatic than it is on land. It's stamina and speed are so much better so if you have a long distance to go. Use water
I tamed one of these guys and avenged my Dinos that were killed by a spinosouras
To get down a bronto , just use its tail as a stair. you wont get hurt by gravity
I have one on my base AND IT IS REALY LOUD
Guys on ark mobile you can tap hit button and then quickly use your spyglass to do lots of damage.
I highly recommend killing catistroids with it and looting their stuff then putting it in the bronto and continue this strat is good for getting wood silica pearls rare flowers and mushrooms and cementing paste
So if you really want to grind metal in single player you should get a bronto get a platform saddle and spam its weight build a furnace room on top with everything you can, then tame an argy and anklo (if you don’t have one) then use the argy to pick up anklo and find a metal…
So if you really want to grind metal in single player you should get a bronto get a platform saddle and spam its weight build a furnace room on top with everything you can, then tame an argy and anklo (if you don’t have one) then use the argy to pick up anklo and find a metal supply ise the anklo to get the metal then pick the anklo up and carry to the bronto platform saddle with the argy then smelt it in the metal base you made. Hope you like it if.
From a quick test they do seem to gather more thatch than the megaleceros from hitting a singular tree.
Dis bad boy don't get stuck in trees like every other dino it just stomps em down.
In Ark Mobile, you can have 126 structures on the Bronto, there's no need to build a smithy as I just use argies and set them on follow or mortar as i have Equus and casteroides. Have another platform bronto of the opposite sex on follow to get mate boost. One could be a…
In Ark Mobile, you can have 126 structures on the Bronto, there's no need to build a smithy as I just use argies and set them on follow or mortar as i have Equus and casteroides. Have another platform bronto of the opposite sex on follow to get mate boost. One could be a dino carrier and be built as a tank(hp, speed, weight), the other for damage (melee, speed and hp)
Not sure what the platform saddle cap is but highest armor is 408 from many dungeon runs. Use a gold chain for an additional 50 armour, 30% more carry weight, 20% more movement speed, 10% more health, 30% faster attack speed and stamina. Have a fully imprinted bronto for another 20% bonus HP, Attack, Weight and Speed.
Always keep veggie cakes, store it in a tek trough and your bronto will be near invincible or at a minimum stronger than a titanosaur and giga which you can hunt with ease. Use turrets, arthropleura or chalicotherium on turret mode to help speed things up. If you want to level up quickly chronical it and set up a revival platform in the yeti cave, or use a teleporter to get it to level up quickly.
They're going to be the closest thing to dino supercarrier in the game.
If you’re going on a run for heavy resources, have your bronto follow you. It’s basically a massive walking storage.
