What is a direbear used for? direbear battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
THESE THINGS ARE AMAZING!!!!!! They are a little hard to tame but once you do they are so worth it they are extremely fast, extremely powerful and tough useful even out of combat when gathering honey and can insulate you in the snow or heat and allow for more travel, besides it’s a giant cuddly bear, you know you want it.
A must have on aberration,
Not only can he:
Gather 3x honey, gather fiber, berries, normal and prime meat, and wood/thatch.
But…
It has insane speed to help keep you safe from nameless, and (probably) OUTRUN A ROCKDRAKE. Get your first egg with a dire bear and have megalosaurus or spino bodyguards if you like.
Rescue Mount - Speed: (Gallimimus+Trike=DireBear)
- You’ve just been ripped off your saddle and your favorite tame is in trouble.. you need to get there NOW. Keep one of these hitched with spare gear.
- Their sprint is like a Locomotive Engine: Takes a sec to get going, but Holy F- do they move at top speed and has stamina for days. Roars in like a Semi-Truck to slap silly anything that dared threaten your fav tame.
- Find a Low-lvl and tame with Meat or Prime. Use it to get Honey, then tame your High-lvl.
For dire bear I recommend taking a ptera with you and 6 stone walls 1 ramp and 2 stone foundations to build a strip like this

On the opposite beach then agro the bear to run away from the reds and fly over the tractor get him stuck note high stamina=best results then a simple bow or longneck to uncon him and then giant bee honey for easier tame
