Encountering Tips

How do I kill a defense unit? defense unit battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Really easy to beat. The overseer will spawn and they go fast but once in position the come out of ball form and walk. They walk so slowly and will only attack when close enough. If you do the old fashion walk backwards with a pistol (or any gun) and shoot it is a 100% kill without damage. They drop element and you have to pick it up so tek users can tek power there way through it.
Passive towards people, aggressive towards tames and wild dinos, DONT LOSE YOUR DODOS!!!!
Available in the lunar biome of genesis
Can kill you in the sanctuary in extinction
Bring lots of guns to fight the drones and kill them fast
Do not underestimate this things!!!!
They are bosses their bosses on island not on extinction they come in the tek cave so people can stop saying that
U can encounter them by shooting from distance make sure to keep distince
In Extinction these bad boys will randomly aggro on you and your tame and will relentlessly chase you until it finds something else to aggro on or you are out of its range. Easy to kill, just get behind it and attack. It will get damaged and will be slower and sparks will fly out. Disappears after death dropping nothing
Whatever you do do not spawn a tamed one and ride it then get off you will fall through map or get stuck and have to leave and come back to fix.
These guys are easy to kill and on 50x give if quite a lot of element dust
Up this so people can get these guys extinct
Stay behind it in order to fight it, it has difficulties turning around quickly, you can be a beginner fighting it as long as you have some sort of tool to help you kill it. :D
Killed the max level tek stego I was taming in extinction make sure to protect tames when these are around
Can someone give a important tip such as what tame or tool allows for harvesting the most out of?
If you want to take out a reinforcer on extinction find a pack of stegos and let the stegos do all the work.
Will not kill u but will kill ur tame even when riding make dat arrow green so others will not have their tames killed
They now spawn on the extinction map regularly and attack anything but the player which includes tames.
These only attack Dino’s so don’t worry. At least they don’t attack me.
When you get attacked by one of these run to a stego or carbo because they can kill them
This is how I got the right amount of element dust to get a informer
