Use a snow owl to deflate the gasbags and keep them from flying away and you heal them so you wont kill them with tranqs.

If you wanna fly longer on these bad boys upgrade oxygen

How I knocked out a high level one in single player is I used my looked around the waste land with my poison wyvern level 120 (bean cosumer) . Found a highnlevel one grabbed it with the wyvern (press c on pc while flying)took it home. I put it in this small stone house and traped it in there got my level 225 equius in there and knocked it out after a while. If its trapped you can use any level of torpor inflicting creature as long as it won't kill it . By far the fastest way to knock is a high Melee basilisk which you don't even need to trap the gasbags with. But I don't most people have one of those as they take fertilized rock drake eggs to tame and I am still having trouble stealing one of those.

Idk why no one wrote this but if they have a slight bit of gas in em they will take reduced fall damge so when your flying keep a bit of gas and fall down you wont feel a thing

This is basically a fat caterpillar. I heard they are like pack mules because they have a lot of weight capacity. They also look adorable.

Use 6 or more stone dino gates like you would on argy (after update) to trap- with 2 doors on the end, then pump full of tranq darts.

This is the only flier that can be used on genisis. So if the amazingly fast bloodstalker is not your ideal transport, then this beanbag-balloon-bug is perfect for a slow paced surviver.

Did anyone else realize that the gasbag is based of of a water bear?

I dare you to look up what a water bear is

Think about this: the Gasbags is the only New To Extinction creature so far that’s in another map besides extinction, and that’s Genesis part 1.

They do still take fall damage, I learned the hard way

So bc most comments are from pve players here a pvp tip use them for soaking have them mate boosted veggie cakes yuty roar a deadon on passive healing and a good saddle no heavie or auto will stay in your way with a good gasbag and a food stat deadon

If you're being raided by one of these, try to get to its head and shoot it, it will rapidly deflate and lose Oxygen and then be susceptible to turret damage. Get shredded!

Fun fact:
They are believed to be part of the Tardigrada phylum, a group of extremophile microgranisims that can survive literally any environment, from extreme cold to extreme radiation, these guys are the hardiest of animals.

They can inflate and then they can do three things, do a huge jump that will deflate them, float/glide, and do a knockback attack that is similar to the diplodocus' only attack. They can also seat more than one person at a time

If you have a gasbags that has a lot of weight but you want more try a delivery crate! It can carry 5k weight but if you crash land it will drop in a bag so you might want some oxygen too.

You can find in Lunar cave on Genesis map. Spawns at entrance

Put this on a quetzal platform and load it up with weight and the quetz can’t feel the weight. Gasbags is the only tame that doesn’t add weight to a quetzal platform when standing on it.

Farm lamps with doed on quetz and have your rider load the goods onto the gasbags.

YOU NEED TO TRANSFER THESE GUYS ON GENNIS
These guy are like the only flyer you can use on gennis

They have a damage resistance when inflated, so use a snow owl to freeze and deflate. After latest update, they can no longer be picked up or hit with bola. Heavily suggested to clear area of hostiles before KO. If timed right, you can keep gasbag in same area while tranqing by alternating freezing and shooting.

Be careful they take fall damage.Thr more you ascend or use air control, the more air you lose, thus it will hit the ground and die. You have been warned. . .
