Tips & Strategies

Another tip most dont even know that when the gas bag is inflated it take 80% reduced damage. And with a saddle that can add lets say 50 armor to it this thing becomes a super solar for any turrit tower you may encounter.also keep in mind you lose air with the amount of damage you take but you can continue to suck in air. I recommend living oxigen and health
More Gasbags Utility Tips
If you wanna fly longer on these bad boys upgrade oxygen
Hereโs a great โUtilityโ for the gasbags.
Step one: Murder one of these
Step two: Make a delivery crate.
Step three: Record your enemyโs baseโs coords.
Step four: Attach 10 C4 to your delivery crate.
Step five: Send a little โGiftโ to your poor enemy.
This is a great tip:
1-Tame a gasbags and any kind of wyvern (not crystal)
2-Tame any farming creature (magmasaurus is the greatest bc it farms everything, metal, crystal, wood, stone...)
3-when your magma (or any massive farming creature) gets encumbered transfer everything to gasbagsโ inventory.
4-When gasbags gets encumbered you carry it with the wyvern and wyvern is going to get like only 600kg weight so basically itโs infinite weight.
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.
They do still take fall damage, I learned the hard way
Mine dies from fall damage and idk how to central them how do I controls them Iโm on ps5
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
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
Keeping oxygen in reserve prevents fall damage
Inhale to increase damage resistance, get a decent level saddle, back up slowly into turrets, tank all of the enemy's turrets
