What is a brontosaurus used for? brontosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Pros:
- huge carry weight
- can build base on its platform saddle, problem is you need level 90+ to unlock
- the ole regular saddle works just fine but it's just you and the bronto
- excellent soaker/tank on PVP/PVE
- surprisingly good at killing things without worry getting killed
- berry farm like nothing ever farm berries before
- also tons of thatch and some wood
Cons
- have only three speed: slow, very slow, and reverse
That's just it
Lv 217 496% melee bronto swipes tail casually in swamp,
Every creature in line of sight (and some that are out of sight): Bruh
Your bronto killed a lv 70 kapro
Your bronto killed a lv 15 titanoboa
Your bronto killed a lv 45 dimorphodon
...etc, and rip to the creatures of the swamp
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!!!
Mobil Command Dino. (MCD) this high Health powered Dino is great when taking Journeys to other servers and quickly need a place to build on that could give you an instant advantage over the noobs on the beach and threats on scorched earth. The higher the health, the more useful your MCD. Carry on, Explorers!!
Jack the weight up, or even better breed them to insane weight and also level. get a platform saddle. load up a few argys on top and pack them full of metal and stone. I also use beavers and mammoths for wood as well as ankys sometimes. you get the weight reduction plus the bronto can carry a ton. walking resource carrier.
Single player uses:
1. Mobile base: Brontosaurus has a pretty big platform saddle, you can literally just live on their back aside from getting vegetable crops. They're good on big maps like ragnarok if you can't decide where to live.
2. Berry gatherer: It has the most efficient gathering rate, just keep in mind it's slower than molasses.
3. Dino protector: Brontos have a rather low damage output for their size, but male up for it with high knockback and a massive AOE.
