Not as useless as you might think! A high-level spino was terrorizing a nearby river. I took my diplo (Dylan) and while the spino was focused on killing Dylan, I was using my crossbow and rifle to do damage to it. Spino ended up dead, while Dylan was at 2000 out of 3000 health, and I was not injured at all.
Love u Dylan

Diplodocus is an all purpose tank and insane knockback. But Ark should add the diplodocuses doing tail whips whilst fighting carnivores.

For an attack it just pushes u back, so easy hunting.

Diplos actually get thatch. Pls up so the Dex knows.

Best easy prime meat source when taming. Defenseless massive walking meat pile

If Ark actualy did research, diplodocus can tail whip other carnivores and the speed of its tail whip is said by scientists that it could of been so fast it could break the sound barrier

It's pretty fun to run around with 10 people on your saddle, especially if they all have shotguns!

I would recommend one for player vs player gameplay because these guys can tank hits like it's nothing. these guys are very useful for travel to but maybe use for a mobile base for maybe taming in single player. I would put health, weight, food , and speed mostly. I hope this is useful for you ❤

It might look bad because it can’t do damage but imagine seeing one of these with all nine people with guns. It also has insane knockback.

I soaked a base that had 5 autos with a 90 diplo

Good tanks for raids! Use as a frontline attack in front of Brontos or Gigas etc, can push tames back when attacking so you can use this for defence too. Their high speed allows you to run from turrets when on low health. Worth it when passive tamed as the low kib needed means you can tame more.

Very useful on pvp servers, can unbury enemy reapers. Profit.

Great early-game tame so long as it has an escort. Apart from its lack of damage, all of its stats are fantastic, and it's very fast for its size.

Not really useful tame, but they don't do any damage unless they push you off a cliff. Their attacks are all pushing, no damage. Awesome giant walking prime meat machines to kill and harvest when you are taming something useful. Or tame one and name it the Magic School Bus and drive you and your entire tribe off a cliff into the Volcano.

When you tame one put a saddle on and make your whole server ride it, best time you will have on ark...

They are probably the best pack animal in the game, for its size and carry weight it moves super fast allowing it to quickly transport huge quantities of supplies over long distances. It's recommended to pair it up with some other animals as guards as it can't do much in a fight and even though it has a massive health pool it regens health pretty slowly.

Diplo's are very good for both transportation across large distances, and are amazimg for doing any task tht requires carrying alot, a personal fav dino

You can stand on it and knockout dinos and you won’t get hurt

A long time ago, I tamed a diplo while my tribe was f*cking around and I brought him up to the main part of the base and they were like wtf then I was like all aboard the diplo bus and I only leveled speed weeee

Upgrade its weight and use it like a trailer for wood and thatch
