Tips & Strategies
If you have gen two, you can net and put two dino gateways and gates as close to the middle of its body as possible. Make sure to bring either lots of tranqs or an owl
When he starts to suck in air while standing on his back legs shoot his belly. This does higher top or dmg.
Note that it will take two to three times the recommended amount of tranqs for knockout (with crossbow at least, i assume the others as well)
They take less damage and torpor when inflated up so people know
When trying to tame a Gasbags the easiest way is with a snow owl and freeze it and get ur friend to knock it out
When they suck in air they take much less damage and torpor if you can try to hit them when they are deflated
Good for draining any kinds of turrets if you breathe in whilst soaking on official look to get ones around 7k health for a good line
If you inflate them, they take significantly less damage, and can be used for soaking. Then once you soak the base, you can use their excellent weight to pack all their stuff into. It’s one of my favorite soakers. Only downside is that their blue underbellies take 3x more damage if they get hit there, so it isn’t recommended to drop gasbags on someone’s base as they will shoot it’s stomach
Use a net gun to trap them so they don't float away, makes taming a whole lot easier for sure.
You can use it to soak the turrets of enemy bases, you just have to level a Quarter into oxygen and the rest into Health. Depends on the server settings, but on Official Servers it should be ok.
Odly enough 2-3 wooden gates are enough to trap it but alittle difficult. Just wait for the gasbag to stop wandering and quickly place at least 2 gates in a t shape. I luckily had one in the sanctuary so I could spend more time trying this out.
There basically CHONKY caterpillars that can carry a lot.
