Utility Tips

What is a diplodocus used for? diplodocus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Some people may say that this creature is useless, they're the once that don't play with a friend bruhh 😂. It's fun having this guy with a lot of friends on it's back with shotguns and fabricated weapons bruh. Try taming a high leveled one in a PVP server with your friends, accompany it with some Trike or Rhinos and you have a bus storage in a convoy. It's hilariously fast and can carry a lot of weight and the stamina and HP is not that bad too. The knockback is insanely far even if it's tamed so you can use it to push people and their tames.
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 ❤
They are very useful, they can carry I think 10 people at once (not sure about the number). You do need metal and 800 hide though. People on the chairs not controlling the Dino can shoot things below.
They are fast, have good knock back, and have good health pool. I think it’s a good mid-game tame.
Sure Diplos can't actually hurt you or creatures, but having one is not too bad. Picture this: You have a diplodocus at you base, along with some stronger dinos like Rexs or allos, when all of the sudden you get the notification that you dodo has d!ed! Your heart sinks as you run outside of your base to see what creature did it, and you see a wild Rex chomping away at your dinos! You whistle your tames to attack the rex, as they're attacking, you see your diplodocus trying to k!ll the rex even though it is doing no damage. But that goes to show to diplodocus is pretty good! With the diplodocus's playful head nudge it can push the threat away allowing your strong tames to get the damage in! Diplodocus is pretty RAD!
A diplo is such a good exploring mount in multi player because one player moves the diplo while all the other players shoot of the sides of the diplo i tested this with my tribe and we destroyed our enemies tribe and the the enemies rexes got killed in seconds because of our ascendant pump action shotguns best of all the diplo never came close to death and the loot was insane one vault had two titanosaurus saddles
These guys are amazing despite their inability to attack.
Get a high level one and you’ll have around 15k health and 1500 weight when tamed. They can carry a lot and move surprisingly quickly. I use mine for metal runs and can carry at least 1k metal.
Just remember to bring some small carnivores like raptors for protection!
