What is a giganotosaurus used for? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The babies eat a TON. Expect to go on multiple meat runs. They also need special care in the very beginning, where they can only hold up to four meat in their inventory. I’ve never used a trough, but I’m going to, because maybe that will give me a little more free time. I also recommend building a large pen around them with a dinosaur gate. They will eventually get too big to get through the gate, but they work for the first half of their baby life. The pen is to keep them safe, and also from running away if the unexpected enemy attacks you or one of your dinos.
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!
