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.

These are amazing for getting metal. I spawn west 2 (AKA cragg’s island) on mobile bring this to red mountain in the redwoods with a mount like a thirizino or something slow but strong (you can also just bring the bronto and ride that) and harvest some metal (I think bronto…

Although slow, this behemoth can optain ridiculous numbers of Berries and seeds for farming, all they need is kibble from turtles

If u can’t find one just place spike walls near your base and it’s a certainty that they will spawn near u

Brontosaurus can help me to hold something when I was getting something heavy like metal or obsidian. Which is really helpful

Place a chem bench, generator, and a few fridges for spoiled meat, and park an argy on its platform. You will make far more narcos than you knew was possible. Load the argy and run the narcos back to base to keep you weight down. It's best to put up walls and a bed in case…

If you manage to get a low level Bronto, split the level up points between HP and carrying capacity, as the Bronto is like a walking storage cache. Personally I’d rather keep my stuff on a Bronto rather than in a regular supply cache, cause at least the Bronto can defend…

Make a platform saddle, put mortar and pestle, use a meat spoiler if you have the mod, otherwise just get some from Vultures or beached Basilos. Tail swipe some bushes and lots of Narcotics for you

sometimes, its hard to get off a bronto without taking fall damage, yes you can get off of the tail, but i have a better way, if you have a sinomacrops perhaps you can ride your bronto and have it on your shoulder, and when you get of the bronto quickly use the sinomacrops.

If you want infinite weight tame and breed parasaurs as they have a lot of weight get like 4 of them in the bronto platform and he will take just 300 weight per parasaur even if they are full

HOW

I hope everyone knows how OP Brontos are after this.

I once encountered a battle between a rex and a bronto and caught myself in the middle. After a bit I realized. Oh the rex is dead. The bronto lived with a bit of health but I was quite surprised!

Make a step for when u are getting down from the saddle. I died getting of my bronto’s platform saddle. I had heaps of rare mushrooms on me, and lost them all... u dont want to learn this the hard way like i did...

Storage, just use it as storage and maybe as a base. I think it’s better at storage tho...

On mobile or on the island, ring these to the footpaw and get tons of berries!

1 point5 years oldReport

They are really good for collecting berries and they are not so hard to tame.

1 point5 years oldReport

They are so much fun to travel around the map with, definitely recommend taming one

1 point5 years oldReport

Amazing berry collector and if you put a platform saddle on it you can build a house or carry your tribe

1 point5 years oldReport

Great weight on these guys! You can put alot of stuff in them and they'll still be able to carry much more, i tamed a bronto that my friend named "Mouse" and she's one of the best tames I have. They also have great health and melee damage so you can trust…

Good for starting a kibble farm for beginners as you shouldn’t need narcotics and are pretty easy to tame. Plus most carnivores won’t aggro on them. You just need one male and a few females.

Please don’t sprint around your range of tamed, I accidentally stepped on one of my beavers m. Poor Buston
