Tips & Strategies
If you are on extinction, you need this animal late-game. Snag an anky, or if you have genesis, Get a magmasaur. Cryo it, then empty your inventory of everything but what you need. (Bring a glider or parachute for emergency landings. Tek boots work too.) then fly around on the gasbags, then when you find a good metal and/or obsidian node land, uncryopod the anky/magmasaur, then harvest the node. Cryo the anky/magmasaur again, then load the heavy resources into the gasbags. Repeat for crystal, metal, obsidian, wood, or even element dust, then when the gasbags’ weight is at about 85% capacity, fly home and drop off the resources wherever you want them. Repeat this whole process as often as you want for MASSIVE quantities of resources. I got 3000 metal ingots with a 4000 weight gasbags, a 800% melee anky, and some gas with and industrial forge. All in under half an hour!
Seriously guys where do you find it? If it’s funny put it in the funny section🤦🏼♂️
i get it why this fat boi is in gen part 1. because it lives in the luner map and the map has a lot of space to fly around for this boi!
I use an argy or owl to peck and lure the gasbags into a trap, since they seem to run away from humans who punch it.
To the guy who said, “these aren’t on mobile so why is there a preferred kibble for them.” They might be added to mobile in the future.
If you netgun them it prevents them from inflating and if they are already inflated it deflates them
3atone gates and 2 stone pillars at each end to hold them in. Easy easy. They will follow you right in after the first shot.
An imprinted Equus will knock then out every time. Net and kick.
You do more damage (and torpor) when it’s deflated. Try and force it to blow you back so you can get the more damage
Gasbags are found all across the eden zone in genesis 2 and the wasteland in extinction, although they are found in dangerous spots with dangerous dinos, so be weary!
Regular gate trap doesn’t work because gasbags after aggroed follows you only after first 1 - 2 shots and it’s pumped with gas all the time when doing so, so it can’t fit into the trap. For taming it I recommend classic hit & follow method.
Great taming option is a snow owl with a ton of Stam, then place some dino gates or pillar and ceilings to trap it, won't be able to jump away
From my experience u cannot trap these no more when I was trying to tame mine it didnt go in the trap it just turned around when. It was near the dino gates and walked away.
Turret soakers. 80% dmg reduction when you have gas. Damage deflates gas. Level o2 and HP. o2 allows you to draw more air in and faster so you can suck in more than turrets can deflate leaving you with a constant 80% dmg reduction. Back into turrets and you won’t get shot off. Suffer from tek turret knock back but great for heavies. Slap a good saddle on for more protection
Where do I find dese thick bois and anyone know the spawn command
