What is a equus used for? equus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These guys have great stamina when running but when you get one PUMP UP ITS STAMINA! It has terrible stamina when fighting and if your stuck in a fight your stamina will run out really quickly, so if you don’t get away, you will either die while waiting for your stamina to recharge or your Equus will fall asleep and die. Up this so noobs will see
This creature is a pain to tame but worth it. When I first got it I was like “Now, what in the world am I going to do with this?” Then I realized, it is great for knocking out wild Dino’s if you are short on tranq arrows (knocked out a lvl 120 sarco with 3 back kicks). It is also good for a mobile narcotic maker. Just put some rotten meat in this bad boy and run around getting narcoberries and use it’s saddle to make all the narcotics you want. Bam!!! Then you got all the taming supplies you need to go get some other Dino’s.
If you play without flying, this thing is a must have. Decent weight, almost no stamina consumption while sprinting, reduced fall damage and imprinted ones are really fast. The Buck Kick (L2 on PS4) is really good forknocking out creatures. And don't forget that this things saddle is a mortar and pestle, so you can grind those sweet narcotic XP while traveling. This is my go to mount.
