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

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

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.

BEAR trap does not work on him

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

Can't gather honey on crystal isles bee hives.

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.

It can’t be caught in a Bear Trap but it can in a Large Bear Trap

Hello people of ark I have a short Tip about the DireBear
This thing is a killer if tamed or not tamed
Breed this thing and u can use it in boss fights or in general pvp
A bear can beat a rex if bred good enough
U may want to get ur hands on one of these
Make a 4x2 taming pen with window frames 2 ramps then u lure the bear inside I recommend u use tranq darts arrows will kill it, but if u play prim+ u have no other choise
If u play primitive+ use arrows and when the bear is bloody and still attacking the walls drag a corpse of a Dino or player to it wait 5 seconds after it eats the corpse then shoot it with ur tranqs
If it’s unconscious u put mutton in its inventory since it tames better and same effect as kibble
After its tamed u can get fiber with it as well
Its also verry fast don’t put its lvls into speed only melee stam and hp
I hope u found this helpful if u did make sure to like it so more people notice it

Probably the most versatile land creature. Can eat berries and meat. Hard to tame unless you use DARTS or a SNOW OWL to heal it during tranq arrow-ing it with a x-bow.
Probably best to put HP>Dmg. These things are trucks but don't get to cocky.

Why is this not affected by bear trap?

Only large bear traps work I learnt that the hard way

Direbear have little health compared to torpor. Keep a few tamed dodos at your ramp trap. When you've shot the bear enough for it to be bloody, throw in a dodo. It will instantly kill and eat it and start regenerating health. Give it a moment or two and continue darting. Happy hunting!

The dire bear actually catches speed the longer you run, just found that out

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

Can't be carried by crystal wyvern

Get on a rock or die

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

This little guy killed my Rex, spino, and bary because they were all on passive. Tip: Don't leave your Dino's on passive in the redwoods.
