These idiots aren’t even force tamable so just kill them before your tames get destroyed

ME! I want a mod with this guys tamable plz

If you use forcetame on it (Cheating!), it’s really cool TO RIDE, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE TAMED ONES!

They’re name is self explanatory, and I’ll explain why! I’m to lazy to make a thesis, so let’s just cut to the chase!

I’ll start off with where they spawn! (Fair spoiler alert and I may not state ALL of they’re spawns) So where would one find one of these beautiful, yet untamable pieces of technology? The locations are:

Ark: the island: (inside Tek cave) location: top of the volcano again in the cave

Ark: Extinction: sanctuary. spawns: everywhere.

And I’ve heard they spawn on Gen:1 but I haven’t checked yet!

So what do these guys do? Are they aggressive? Or passive?

Well this would depend on what map they spawned on. For instance defense units on the island are cave hostile so they will attack you. Extinction defense units however aren’t the case. They will display docile behavior toward the player, and only showing aggression to wildlife. With this behavior, this unit is something that a new survivor spawning in extinction can count on.

To people wondering how they get around so fast?

Defense units have 2 modes, defense/engage mode. And efficient travel mode (these aren’t what they are called but they are just for reference). The defense mode is always active, upon approaching a target. For example a timid herbivore like a galli, once hit it books it. Once a large amount of distance is lost to the defense unit, it will engage its travel mode, and roll toward the target covering a lot of ground. However it cannot attack in this mode.

Warning for new players to extinction: I suggest building spike walls around your base before you start taming. Defense units actively eliminate Wildlife nearby the sanctuary. Be weary when taming because they will try to kill it!

A common question is “Why did this defense unit attack me out of nowhere? Unprovoked?”. This usually happens when you happen to kill a for example defense unit/enforcer, nearby a scout drone. If the drone notices you, it will pulsate a red line. Followed by a forcefield. The drones way of getting survivors killed is the tactic such as: “I can’t kill you… but he can!”. When the drone glows red it might aggravate units. And from there they will try to kill you until eithor, you die. Or you eliminated the drone, and escaped the units. Same with enforcers.

Conclusion?

*Defense units are docile to players. But show targeted aggression towards wildlife, tamed or untamed.

*Due to their tanky health, and moderate attack damage. Defense units can be used as a survivor’s personal bodyguard. And I would recommend if your new to extinction to have a few for protection!

*Defense units can be aggressive towards the player if a provoked scout drone is nearby.

*Defense units are an excellent source of electronics.

*don’t leave tames unattended near them.

Thanks for reading! :D

When you kill the defense unit, it explodes into pieces.

I tried forcetame on ASA and It didn't work. It just showed the Taming Bar (I'm using the Awesome Spyglass mod) and It still tries to attack me.

their faviourite food is force tame

For the peeps to hope to tame one there is a mod that allows you to tame it

Don't stay for to long because they pack a punch

These things will destroy any and all structures you put in front of them. They can and will destroy metal as well as tek. Nothing is safe from these things. If you are on Genesis lunar biome these things are everywhere along with the flying ones. Be careful out there guys.

Thought they were very deadly killed it with a ascendant sniper 3 or 2 shots

These bad guys are going to get spawned in a final boss fight by Overseer. They are really easy to kill and I recommend using a tek rifle to do so. After they're killed they'll drop one element. Great way of never running out of ammo ... buuuut you really don't have time to pick it up 'cause Overseer and stuff...

This creature is now found on Extinction.

The defense unit, It is found in the final boss in the original map of Ark The Island 🤣, but it would be a good idea if it could be Tamed

If you see them on extinction kill them before they kill your tame. They only aggro to creatures and they are neutral to you

When you kill it in extinction or genesis 2, use the chainsaw to harvest it, you get so much scrap metal.

I only want people to see this because I personally need a lot of metal all the time.

It’s dumb that they can damage anything

When you are a new survivor these thing’s are great because when these things attack a creature they won’t harvest it making that you can come in and harvest the dead creature and get some hide and they won’t agro to you.
