What are tips for compy? Tips and strategies for compy in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Build a 2x2 wooden pen beside your base with one door. Scout for packs of compys. Select the highest level one and drop him in the pen. Do this numerous times until you have a pen full of compys. With a fridge load of prime meat prepared you are then ready to tame them all in one go by throwing a narc grenade in the pen and running in there with a gas mask.
I find the easiest way to deal with these things if you don't want to tame them is to punch or club them unconscious and then kill them while they are knocked out.
Why the hell does this thing take longer to raise than a pteranodon
They need prime meat which is a pain but they are really cute.
They may seem cute and friendly but they are annoying little things and want to eat it
I take my Rex and kill diplo and paracers along rivers and keep the prime in the Rex's inventory, when I find one I transfer meat knock it out and continue to tame even if others are attacking, then a couple seconds later BOOM you got a compy
If you ever find a Compy then make sure you have enough spears to kill them, but if not you can easily run away for they are not fast.
Compys are NOT useless! They're great scouts, they make all kinds of sounds to warn you of different things like bad weather.
Most expensive and delicate pet of the Dino world. Makes dodos look strong when they are low level, but when they get up to my Cookie’s level (2000) they are the ultimate companion. I buffed her weight and health so she can carry my load of metal in dangerous areas without dying. I’m gonna try to use Cookie the Compy’s storage in a cave XD Like a little shoulder chest if you buff their weight.
These are the most annoying dinosaurs, they attack u if there is more than 3 of the annoying little things and they’re kinda hard to tame. You can 1-hit with a pike.
Will eat normal raw meat or fish meat after tamed
Compies are not actually useless, thanks to their small size... They're excellent base defense dinos if you tend to build bigger bases with lots of walls and doors as I do. After breeding some for melee and health, I have a pretty solid family of lvl 280-300 compies in my base. They don't get in the way, and are set up like sentries on aggressive. They can even fit in between forges and other internal structures, and creating a few false rooms filled with compies is a good surprise for raiders.
On two occasions these things have saved my resources
First time, someone broke all the way into my forge room, where I have 6 compies stationed between the forges, with only the one furthest back on aggro, the others on neutral. The moment the one aggrod, they all ran out and while 2 died, they killed the raider and I was able to revive and replace my doors and throw out a cryopodded giga.
Second time, someone came to a split hallway and chose the room filled with compies... Rip lol.
Alright here is how to tame a Compy: Step 1: Get prime meat (preferably from a tamed carnivore) Step 2: find a Compy pack. Step 3: kill Dino’s that might kill the Compy. Step 4: kill the compies except the one you want.step 5: knock out the Compy. Recommend wooden club. Step 6:Put prime meat into the compy’s inventory. Step 7:You got a Compy! Will eat regular meat after tame.
Please let it Peter me please
I noticed if you have armor they do 0 damage. Tbh they are just in the game to be there they are worthless. Even the drones are more deadly then this lol.
