Tips & Strategies

They are so underrated. I knock out everything with them! Tbh its boring to build traps over and over the map. And often its impossible to build traps because of the spam, especially in pve. And its an epic feeling to fight against a Rex only with your equus. And you can use the longneck riffle while riding. I even tamed an Argie. And used the lasso to bring the Argie out of the danger zone. Its also good for the deinos egg run on valguero.
When you have problems to tame a high level Equus and cant grap them whith a flyer, tame a low level and use the lasso to capture it and transport to a save place. Last Tip: you can find good saddles in green supply drops.

Don't Listen to people who say that they are waste of time. If are probably used they will be the best early game dino ever and in taming you just have to complete hunt Megapirana task and you will get a 10X smoothing balm and then gather 8 to 10 bushes and you will get 2 carrots then just go and tame it.
BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO A CONTINUOUS TORPOR DAMAGE WITH THEIR KICK NOT LIKE OTHER CREATURES LIKE PACHY AND SCORPION. AND YOU AND EASILY MAKE NARCOTICS IN THEM SO THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR TAMING.
BTW THIS IS MY FIRST TIP.
Since I haven’t seen anyone say this, equus have six ‘classes’ based off of their power on mobile. If it’s power is 1.99 or less its in the lazy ‘class’, if it’s power is 2-3.09 it’s in the ‘normal’ class and will not have a special name when born, if it’s power is 3.10-4.50 it’s in the ‘swift’ class, if it’s power is 4.51-6.64 it’s in the ‘maiden’ class, if it’s power is 6.65-13.32 it’s in the ‘racing’ class, and finally, if it’s power is 13.33 above it’s in the ‘thoroughbred’ role. This is a good way to get a guess on a babies power when it’s born.
