What is a giganotosaurus used for? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This Wild Beast is almost useless. To tame it, you Will need ALL YOUR TIME AND SANITY. And when you tame it, it gets the STUPID NERF OF 80% OF HP AND DAMAGE. No words. AND, if you LET it get MORE DAMAGE THAN USUAL… Say goodbye to hours and hours of Hard working and taming Going into gigas stomach in minutes. When this happen, Just take some popcorn and see your carchas, rexes, quetzals, spinos, ALL OF THEM DIYING. Seriously, tame a Carcha. It Will be better.
Comparison giga vs carcha:
Giga has more health and much more damage than carches, and they are 2 times stronger when tamed. Giga has a rage meter, which makes a large group of giga able to spread rage and boost deadliness.
Carch is faster, and has low stam consumption. If you get the blood rage to 100, the carch is a ravaging beast, easily eclipsing the giga. After a kill, the carch is temporarily very fast and has extreme healing. Great for OSD and element veins!
If you want a large group, use gigas, since more carches = less kills per carch. But is only one tame is needed, or speed overpowers brute force, and there are enough blood for the carch to taste, the carcharodontosaur is without equal
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!
