What are tips for burrowbuck? Tips and strategies for burrowbuck in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I happened to come across a burrow but with 2 Trex wondering about which I despatched,the adult burrowbuck got killed, I acquired one baby and just tamed the second one, obviously from the same litter and about to cryo it after taming and another Trex came from nowhere and wasted the 2nd baby.
They seem to like open areas and areas along certain beaches. Keep an eye out for their massive burrows. Their antlers also glow at night so that may make them easier to spot
These guys are incredible for traveling. Not only do they have respectable speed and incredible stamina, they have a triple jump that can launch you over wide distances if you use it right (also, as far as I can tell they are immune to fall damage). They're also incredible at staying safe while you ride them. Their jump blinds nearby enemies, causing them to lose aggro and begin to wander. They can also turn invisible for a short time and even burrow if you need to escape or rest for a moment. Extremely solid for traveling over land. However, they have some downsides. Their DPS is pretty garbage and they aren't tanks. I'd definitely pump a lot into their health just in case. They're also pretty bad as gatherers. They can't swim very fast and their weight is only okay. I'd use them mostly as a scout since you can use weapons off their back. Very good for scoping out prospective tames.
They spawn in the big meadows in korinthos on astraoes i saw some at 58.6 lat and 21.3 long. Sadly I can't tame it 😢.
Cheap TP.
1 Put a bed and a storage box with a cryoed burrowbuck anywhere you want a TP.
2 Make a burrow at your base
3 Fast travel naked on bed
4 Pop burrowbuck and make burrow
5 PUT BURROWBUCK BACK IN THE STORAGE BOX
6 Go back and get your gear.
As long as you swap out the cryopod one per month, you are good.
Passive Tame: Superior Kibble and above or Rockarrot for best results. Sneak to approach. Ghillie and Cactus Broth not necessary but may skip the jump away phase after feeding (during taming). Beware, Burrowbuck get aggressive when near their babies, which can make taming annoying. Falling into a burrow trap will also make you lose taming efficiency so watch out!
***YOU DO NOT NEED GHILLIE***
Just slow crouch to it when it stops moving, stop when its moving and once youre close enough feed it. *Im on a 15x so im not sure what happens after the first feed*
Use gloom invisibility to tame no need for ghillie
Just find one with a baby, that's how i got mine
If your in-progress-tame Burrowbuck wanders off into the water where it just bounces in place, you can use a raft (by standing on the raft edge near the creature to spook it) or a Rare Flower. That will cause the Burrowbuck to aggro on you - leave the render and return once the effect has worn off and the hare has calmed down.
Also, always remember Burrowbuck will run the opposite side of where you are, in order to escape you - so stand with your back to the water to make the Burrowbuck pull away from it. You cannot interact with Burrowbuck if either you or the creatire is swimming!
After feeding, look at the burrow in the direction you want it to flee. Almost always goes in that direction about 100 meters.
Gillie suit and be careful of other holes use kibble or carrots
Use binoculars and track it. Carrots are ideal since you can feed them faster. After each feed step away or you'll get sucked into the burrow and then it'll attack you and lose effectiveness. It will move 50-150 meters away depending on the space it has around it.
If it jumps into a cliff or tree it can lose effectiveness by fall damage.
There's a bug atm where it'll say you can't feed them , just feed them anyway. Also, stand on the opposite side of where you want the BurrowBuck to jump. After feeding, it always jumps away from where you're standing. Do this so it doesn't yeet itself into the ocean or straight into a predator's mouth.
