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

BEAR trap does not work on him

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

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.

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

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

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

Get on a rock or die

These guys can run up to really fast speeds when agro. When tamed they are AMAZING berrie and fibre collectors. Really powerful, a low level bear could easily take on a low level Rex.

To reduce chance of killing it while trying to knock it out is by shooting with a primitive crossbow without delay until it starts to show blood then switch to a regular bow and then space shots 7 seconds apart - works every time for me no matter the level

A high level can easily take down Alpha Carno's. It's perfect for taming other animals since it can collect both berries and prime meat. It can go through the central cave and is a highly speedy mount with good carry weight. It's also cuddly.

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

When running from one don't run in a straight line they get faster the longer they run so try to go through a heavily wooded area since it will hit the trees and it will its speed will reset

Really fast and has proven to match a Rex so in my opinion the deadliest land mount besides the giga

This thing is a BEAST
it collects fiber for days
a TRex with fur

Very powerful creature will destroy your armor and hunt you down if aggro...if other bears in area they will also attack , they are territorial so keep your distance.

If you use normal tranquilizer arrows, the situation can get very... dire.

The dex here is wrong about how much narcotics youll need bring more

For a dire bear when I tranq them normally they die so I put down lots of narco traps make it run through them , so it's torpor is high then I start to tranq it

Bears make an excellent mount for exploring caves. If you can get about 3 high level ones you and other tribemates can explore through most caves with ease. And if you were to get in trouble these bears can run at high speeds so you can escape most predators.
