In the new update they can collect double the honey from beehives and the bees don't damage the bear. P's they're also getting a new model

BEAR trap does not work on him

If you guys are wanting to have a really strong tank of a Dino, then definitely get a direbear. I have a level 67 bear and she is an absolute unit!!! She has 2,064 hp and she has over 300% melee damage, and she is my beloved baby. I have found a max level male bear in the redwoods and he’s beautiful; black on top and white on bottom. I am really wanting to breed them…but I’m worried about what things it’ll need though. So I gotta hope and pray that it doesn’t want something crazy. Wish me the best of luck everyone!!!

USE DARTS, arrows will usually kill it before it knocks out

Tame 3, paint one brown, one white,‌ one like a panda, and boom you got icy grizz and panpan

Faster than a giga, strong as a rex, with some levels can get to 1k carry, can gather and eat both berries and meat,can even gather fiber, if you tame a high level one you have a super gathering and combat mount. Unmatched in utility.

Every dino you must have

Anky the living pickaxe (metal, obsidian)

Doedicurus the living axe (stone mostly)

Dire bear the living sickle (fiber, that pretty much it)

Argy the litteral cargo on ark (litterly lots of weight reduction)

Castoroides the ark lumberjack (woods)

Trike the soil master (tatch, berries)

Dire wolf the living tannery (hde, pelt, chitin)

Tyranosaurus rex the ark butcher (meat, prime meat, mutton)

Their level up animation is the cutest🖤

For everyone complaining that bear traps don’t work on this creature, this bear is much larger than a bear today. As the description reads “Immobilizes humans and SMALL creatures” there is a giant bear trap you can use for bigger creatures. - Apollyon

The best poly Farmer for Aberation

These things are absolute beasts, they do insane damage, grind like a boss, and gain momentum while sprinting, to tame these, get a mount which allows rider weaponry and invest decent amount of health in it. Then let it aggro on you and start tranquilizing them ( rifle advised since x-bow may kill it ).

Its torpor run isn't that annoying so just knock it, feed it, then wreck the island's almost every bit( gigas and titans are exceptions ). Up if this helped.

To make honey last practically forever, make a fishing rod and equip honey, that is about to spoil, to the fishing rod, then un-equip it. It should refresh the spoil timer. Does not work with leech blood. Tested on PS4.

Get on a rock or die

This is a bear. Why isn’t it able to be bear trapped?!

You would have a better chance of living after getting hit by a freight train than getting bit by a dire bear.

With the tamed dire bear they can kill alphas (Carnos,raptors) my 123 lvl dire bear was able to kill an alpha raptor lvl 72. They make great companions and their babies are cute

Its‌ li‌ke a ‌b‌e‌ar b‌ut dire ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Due to it's large aoe bite and low knock back it is ideal for hunting for leech blood in swamps

Hits like a Mac truck, more damage than a rex, easily 8k hp, super fast, LOTS of weight, awesome stam, great attack speed, gathers meat, berries, and fiber, super easy to tame, cheap saddle, pretty much a cheap theri that hits like a rex, fast as a galli, and has quetz weight. I’m pretty much just waiting for a nerf.

Hey hey booboo, I got me a picnic basket - if you know this everyone loves you
