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

If you want to use bear traps , use large ones, and make a line of a couple as these boys are so damn strong they actually may break a few of them trying to get you as you traq them!

BEAR trap does not work on him

A level 1 direbear can do around 100 damage and we are talking about a wild one, a tamed one can do up to 150 damage, they are like therizino, expect direbear’s base health is very low, a level one wild dire bear has only 400 health

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

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

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.

I like the dire bear in the wild. why? It's because it's not crazy and goes and kills everything in its path(raptors/terrorbirds you pests)just dont go near it.They will be mad but overall it's great.Too bad there are no bees is ark mobile:/

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.

Only the large bear trap workd because he ate too much McDonald's

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.

Very good jack-of-all trades midgame tame. Good berry and fiber gatherer with lots of carry weight and enough health and damage to defend you and itself

Dire bears are OP if you can tame one, there heavy attack does mass amounts of damage. They are the best early game Dino.

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

Go to swamp with these for loads of rare flowers and plant x seeds, also useful for fiber

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!

Regular bear traps do not work
you have to use the large ones

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

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.
