Tips & Strategies

In the wild, you can't do much with them. You'd think they'd be excellent for luring to bases, but it will prioritize all other Dinos over you, so it isn't worth the effort. Once tamed, the Giganotosaurus is the best method for hunting. Should you need to stock up on meat for breeding, raising, or just feeding, this is your best bet. Of course they're also just high damage Dinos too, so they're excellent for PvP, tanks with jaw of iron. Fair warning, when trekking across a map with them, take the flattest route possible, they're terrible in forests, mountains, and water. They also take fall damage very easily, so avoid jumps of any kind. Should you end up falling off of a cliff, dismount before hitting the ground and the damage will be avoided.

When I tamed my first giga, I thought it was super weak… no better than a good Rex. And it was! It changed when I bred my first two and hatched and fully imprinted my triplets: Eclipse, Thunder and Frenzy. They are all much, much better than any Rex I’ve ever had. Not to mention having twice the hp and more than twice the damage of their parents. I will continue to breed, too. 👆if you relate
