What are tips for jug bug? Tips and strategies for jug bug in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I wish but it’s only force tame
One of the weakest yet most valuable thing you’ll come across whilst exploring Scorched earth. Look for ones with a blue abdomen if in search of water and red ones if advanced and searching for oil. Usually found everywhere except up in the mountains were most of the dangerous carnivores live. Quite common to find throughout Scorched earth but easily startled if accessed.
Jug bugs, like literally all other ark creatures, can be tamed with forcetame. Only way to get one as a pet.
I don’t think you can tame these or what they eat, but you go into creative and forcetame one. It’s funny. Like a flying morrelatops that’s a fly that’s small.
If you are thirsty don’t wish for them because they will show up but wish if you don’t want them.
(Based of of experience😀)
If you do kill these creatures, if they're the oil type, you can go into their inventory to collect 16 oil, then hold a button for more options to collect 16 more oil. Basically just double the oil.
They are everywhere on scorched earth XD
If you have a chainsaw and use it on these guys you can get some serious Chitin
Useful until you find and make a base by a Water Vein
They spawn almost everywhere on scorched earth. There’s the water jug bug and the oil jug bug. If you want to harvest oil or drink water from these bugs, go up behind them and press triangle (PlayStation). Easy source of chitin too!
