Use the dodo as a joke but not a joke tell your friends you have a magic dodo if they don’t believe you that would be a mistake get your dodo cover it with C4 then throw him at your friends have see who’s laughing now
Make sure to tame a bunch of dodos and max them out in the levels and upgrade melee and health when leveled up and then you can kill the annoying raptors that killed you and guarded your stuff when you first started.
