What is a diplodocus used for? diplodocus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Great at hauling cargo. I tamed one quite early in the game because I thought it was cool and named him Diplomacy. Pumped all his points into speed. Now he’s level 107 and runs around faster than Usain Bolt. I like to use him for metal hauling. While he doesn’t have the weight reduction an ankylo has, he’s so much faster than my Ankylo that it’s worth it.
While they can only push stuff, diplos do have an offensive ability; trample which can kill some critters. What can it trample? I forget for ASE but on ASA it can trample small untameable bugs. All (or most) large creatures have trample in either version however it is not as lethal as getting trampled by a dino in other games.
