The dire bear pursuit can give you a REALLY good shot gun, mine is 1500 damage, but they are super expensive, around 8000 metal to make, so save up your metal for this.

the direbear can easily take on rexes and can harvest meat and berries effectively oh and don't forget to make him go on wander when you have your walls he will auto collect berries

I had tamed a level 145 direbear using raw prime and raw meat. It went up to a 196 after taming. It was killing everything It came up against, except for gigas and all alphas that were level 50+. Really good killing machine.

It seems that increasing movement speed has no impact on its sprint. Bumped the move spew to 1000% on a private server and there was no noticeable difference in sprinting.

Two dire bears are ideal 1 battle 1 harvest since they came out they are my main weight and battle Dino they're the best

Absolute best animal I have. Own a 242 bear, can kill Carlos 150 and rexs level 150. Gathers berries like a boss, great for prime meat, and has good speed. I would recommend all players get a dire bear. Can kill almost any feature 1v1 up to level 150.

One of the most useful mounts in game. Can easily take out a lower level rex or allo. Great gatherers of fiber, meat, and berries.

Dire bear is an excellent gatherer of 'Plant X Seeds'

They can’t quite fit in all caves like previously stated. It can fit in the clever cave, the hunter cave, and probably the pack cave. It will not fit in the lava/massive cave and is not practical in the carno/devourer cave due to jumps. But despite this, it is a wonderful tame just beware fighting to alpha raptors and letting a stray micro raptor sneak up on you.

Dire Wolves are their Achilles heel. The wolves bypass their armor. But otherwise they go toe 2 toe with anything their level or lower that isn't an alpha.

Best tame i ever did. My bear has saved my rear plenty of time a fast mount with good hauling capacity can take on carnos with ease i got attacked by yut and would have lost my base but the bear took it down in a couple of hits

These things are amazing ive been breeding like crazy and cant stop myself a highlevel bread w/out imprint boost can take on a death worm( i took on three in a row)

My bear has 10k hp! And it goes over 10 KM ph... :)

Great battle mount. Lvl 140 took out 3 allo's(alpha was 145) then tanked and killed a 95 alpha raptor. Total beast of a Dino.

Up oxygen and stamina to make a very powerful water mount that can take on the swarms of anglers and mantas with their aoe attack!

The dire bear is a great gatherer of fiber in a dense bush region.

I tamed one and named it killer. Hes only level 15 and collected 800 fiber in 5 swipes. These things are fiber machines.

Sadly, most wild animals will try to attack bears, and raptors it can't protect you from raptors.

Mate two lvl 200 and imprit it is a beast and murders mine has 20k health and 13k damage

Use dart and honey with 500% damage they're unstoppable and run like train far you run higher you're speed outrun almost anytime and bear collect fiber,hide and cinti vary wall
