What is a fjordhawk used for? fjordhawk battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This has to be the most USEFUL tame to have if you’re prone to getting yourself eaten by a pack of raptors or ambushed by troodons. No matter how far you are away from your stuff when you die it will bring it back to you and just teleport, I’d call it a must have tame for beach bobs.
once tamed. Just put on all your points on Weight and health, because you don’t want this thing dead after you die since it can retrieve your inv for you, and i can tell this thing gonna be good asf. Especially for Pve for
pvp gonna be eh since they gonna shot the birb down.
This boys are the best carriers to farm resources in mid game.
You can put a magmasaur in a criopod, take it to a local with lots of metal/cristal/obsidian, collect everything you want. Then, drop all the resources in a bag, aim at the bag with the hawk in your shoulder, press double F to throw it in the bag and quickly ride your flyer and go to your base. The hawk will follow you with all the resources in the bag.
Just remember the flyer must be faster than the hawk, otherwise it will reach you and drop the bag.
When you are travelling between beds, move into an open area to wait for your fjordhawk’s arrival. This will keep the hawk from dropping your bag into tough-to-get-to places (building roofs, tek generators, tek troughs, etc ). I had to break ceilings and a cliff platform to get my bag recently.
My second tip about fjordhawks
They can grab caches for you.
On PC or laptop, double hit the key F to throw your fjordhawk at the cache and it will bring the cache to you.
Sometimes it wont work, it is either the cache might be too far, or your aim was not too good.
I hope this helps!
