What is a dire bear used for? dire bear battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I honey tamed a lvl 110, and let me tell you this thing was amazing. Got it to lvl 220 with 7k health, 1k carry, and 300+ melee. Stamina and movement speed are wasted points in the higher levels. Once you have one bear, getting more is a breeze with their honey gathering. A mate boosted team of high lvl bears is literally unstoppable. Named it “the truck”... was my best mount ever, too bad it died on passive one day when my tribe and I lost it...
This thing is a miniature Rex, to say the least. I advise this Dino before a Rex. Just as strong. Can carry just as much weight. Has more speed and stamina. Has the speed of a Galli, but is also more controllable when sprinting. Also suitable for caves, unlike the Rex, because the Dire bear is smaller. It is also omnivorous, so you can feed it meat, fruit, or veggies. Great tame if you ask me.
These things are AWESOME!! They carry a ton of weight, have a ton of stamina, don’t have the best health at low level, but best of all is their attack damage! These things hit harder than a Rex! Was in the northern winter area on The Island and I killed 2 Rex and THEN killed a pack of 5 dire wolves, not to mention the countless argies, and all without her losing half her life.
