What is a giganotosaurus used for? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Mainly a weapon of fear. Most players will instinctively run from the giga, but pros won’t. They know the giga’s rage makes it incredibly ineffective at combat. A few ballista bolts (lvl 29 engram) will make it rage and kill it’s rider. Basically the giga is America. “Don’t fight us, we’ll whoop you.” The health and damage is cut by 3/4 when tamed. Only actually worth the tame for fear tactics. Sooooooooo, don’t try to scare a pro with a giga. It ends with a dead you and later a dead giga. Anyways, if you see a giga coming towards your base, don’t run. Your stuff will be destroyed anyways and they’ll just hunt you down. Instead, run for your ballista. Dead rider and soon a dead giga, because for some reason most players set their tames to passive. Anyways, have a good day!
Fun fact: if your Giga takes a lot of burst damage, it’ll enter Rage Mode for 20 seconds.
Less fun fact: during this time, it’ll throw you off and you’ll be a potential target.
If your Giga is angry, run. There’s nothing else you can do but watch the carnage and pray that it gets its fill within those 20 seconds.
