If you wanna fly longer on these bad boys upgrade oxygen

Here’s a great “Utility” for the gasbags.

Step one: Murder one of these

Step two: Make a delivery crate.

Step three: Record your enemy’s base’s coords.

Step four: Attach 10 C4 to your delivery crate.

Step five: Send a little “Gift” to your poor enemy.

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.

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 do still take fall damage, I learned the hard way

I’m on Xbox and when I’m flying these I can’t go down unless I loose all my gas or deflate the gasbag could someone please leave a tip of the control to go down

It takes fall damage BUT you can go as high as you want and take no damage! Just jump off the Gasbag just before you touch the ground! Thank me later!

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

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

They do NOT need a saddle to be ridden but the saddle they do have fits 2 people.

Keeping oxygen in reserve prevents fall damage

If you run out of gas and are falling to your death, right before you hit the ground, dismount, and your fly bean will be safe, and you will land on top of it. Works every time if you do it right. Also this literally works for every other creature.

Inhale to increase damage resistance, get a decent level saddle, back up slowly into turrets, tank all of the enemy's turrets

Gasbags is one of the best support tames in the game. It has great weight, is tanky, and when you level up speed, it can go very fast while flying. Not to mention but they are adorable. I suggest players get gasbags on both PVP and PVE. The only drawback is it does no damage and if you aren't careful you can kill it by falling to your death.

If you want to go down from mid air, don't move

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.

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. . .

Be carful as these guys still take fall damage

If pure tanking power is tanking into account, this thing is second to none. Just like Rock Elementals, the Gasbags has a 80% damage reduction from almost everything (as long as it is at least partly inflated). The Gasbags, however, is much easier to tame, can be bred and has a saddle which is not that hard to find at all. Their smaller hitbox is welcome when using Velonasaurs and guns from behind them as well.

The only downside is their low damage, and also that they can't damage stone (and turrets), so don't expect to raid entire bases with it alone.

When damaged, a bit of gas will escape, so unmounted ones might find themselves taking full damage after a while. If mounting is not a option, be sure to put it on Neutral from time to time so it will inflate by itself as part of the attack behavior.
