What is a carcharodontosaurus used for? carcharodontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Has a bloodrage buff that counts kills up to 100 and slowly decays when you don't make kills. At full rage, does x2.75 damage. Gets a 10 sec buff after every kill that greatly increases movement speed and gives stun immunity. Much tighter turn radius than a giga, runs faster, a little better stamina scaling. Seems like either bloodrage or the speed buff heals it a bit as well. Has a roar that zeros out the bloodrage counter. I'm told the roar gives a speed buff to allies. Tail spin attack a similar to a Reaper. Overall, it is comparable to or better than a giga in most respects.
The person who said it’s only tamed for ten minutes is wrong they just didn’t understand the taming process you feed it creature bodies (gallimimus is favorite) then you can ride it but it’s not “your friend” you have to kill things with it wile you ride it then it’s tamed forever this person just didn’t do the last part of taming
NINTENDO SWITCH BUG
The first time you throw out a newly tamed carch put your stuff in a chest then throw out the newly tamed carch because when you throw the cryo all your stuff will disappear and your character will be messed up but this Glitch only applies to the first time you throw your carch out of the cryopod so you can freely cryopod your carch after
I learned this from syntac: when you have it's trust bar filled, ride it then go on a killing spree with the carcha but when the dino your carcha is trying to kill is neutral or aggressive, it will attack the carcha as normal, but it will lower the taming sensitivity, so yeah don't get attacked too much.
⚠️NINTENDO SWITCH PLAYERS: Please try not to put these guys in Cryopods. There’s a bug where your tools/armor/inventory turns invisible and unusable when releasing carchars from Cryopods, only fixable by dying to reset your inventory. ⚠️
If you absolutely have to cryo one, store your items before releasing it to avoid losing everything. Be aware that this still means you lose the empty Crypod the carchar was held in.
This creature might be slightly larger then a giga sense in the dossier it says Helena isn't even sure if it was fully grown and hopes it was. Meaning this thing at most is as tall as a giga or slightly taller. As for the abilities, it has a war cry similar to that of a yutyrannus but we aren't sure what it fully does, a tail sweep which is super powerful, a bite that even if it misses will cause critical levels of damage and the most noteable ability, the bloodlust ability. Just like a shark, it gets more vicious when it tastes blood and in the dossier it says it can take on larger creatures when it is in the bloodlust mode. Meaning the bloodlust mode is an overall attack boost to it. However there is one critical downside to this thing, when tamed it doesn't have a saddle so it may be like a wyvern to where you take all damage thrown at you and or like how shadowmanes are with their natural armor. We just gotta see what the Carchara is like on release.
PvP is gonna change, you could essentially use it as a tame for 10 minutes, ex. a base nearby could be demoed, specific person. It’s not too hard to trap with a couple of gates (metal, normal size) and a bear trap. Loving the animations as well, wildcard deserves a high five.
