Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Defense Unit in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Hey if you see one sparking that means it is about to die and then you can scrap it so once it dies from fighting turn into a vulture and harvest that yummy metal and element dust scrumptious.

Use a basilisk to kill it is very effective I have a basilisk that I hunt with all the time and it has like 900 element dust

If you are a new player, just spawned in, dont have any armor or clothes, NO TAMES, they will protect you if you are attacked. This is from my experience though, my game might be bugged. Though they will attack your tames. This goes with the enforcer as well.

Even though they kill tames, early game (when you just starting out) they are good sources of meat and other animal byproducts. Also a good source of protection when predators spawn.

Let's agree, just get a enforcer BP, craft It, then spawn a tamed Defense Unit with the exact same stats, but about 3x the health and throw that enforcer away. Add the unassembled DU NOW

Only useful for collecting element dust, scrap metal, and oil( through drops)', kill on sight due to them attacking all dinosaurs except enforcers.

THAY should be able to be tamed by hacking into them or they should have a new mechanic we’re they go flat and stop moving and if you use a generator near them and then they will tame

This stupid moron makes early tames near impossible to get, Use any weapon but get behind them first. Their attack range is huge so don’t get close if not looking for a fight. Have fun getting ur mounts screwed hard into hell - peace 🙄

There is a mod called defense unit bb or bp where you can craft them or you can wait for the no untameables mod to update for defense units
