That feeling when you’re dying of thirst, you have 10 health left, and you see a fat bug. You sigh in relief and walk up to it. You’re about to die, and just as your reaching out to it’s abdomen, you see the message pop up:

Collect oil

These are indeed found on Fjordur in the Volcano area. Dododex doesnt show, Up so they know!

They are bugs.

They like jugs.

They have water for you to chug.

But sometimes you cannot chug.

For when you are in turmoil.

They will probably give you oil.

What I know about jug bugs:

• big behinds

• won’t attac at all

• blue= water

• red= oil

• can drink if ded or alive

• you can make it pee water in ur mouth

You can use a grappling hook to drag them into a holding pen, and then you can continue to milk the bug

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.

When I was still a noob on scorched, I was dying left right and centre- I got enough for a thatch foundation, placed it, died. Another thatch foundation, placed it died. You get the idea. Now, once I had my hut I also had enough xp to get a spear, so I did and I hunted a water jug bug, but dragged it into my house and shut the door. I examined it, and saw that I could drink water from it. I survived! I built up my hut more, and when that one ran out, I harvested the corpse and brought another dead one inside. I survived like this until finally I tamed a Morrellatops, and we hiked back and forth from a nearby lake I discovered while chasing my new friend. That is how I survived- use these guys, they’re lifesavers. Literally.

Also, just me or when I’m low level mainly oil ones spawn but when I’m high level only water ones spawn??? Maybe they just hate me

Up to 16 oil for the red jug bugs

Available in the volcano biome of genesis

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!

Thirst is the reason from scorched earth why I kill every oil jug bug. The water ones are safe though

If you have a chainsaw and use it on these guys you can get some serious Chitin

They are indeed on fjordur. Balheimer.

They are everywhere on scorched earth XD

Is it just me or has anyone else seen water jug bugs on Fjordur I thought that only oil ones spawned on Fjordur.

Useful until you find and make a base by a Water Vein

When you are dying of thirst and you see a big beetle

Jug bugs are fast and hard to kill with no dino's cuz they fly really fast

Raptors are extremely good at killing these almost as if they were ment to because the jump attack if used near a jug bug will make it so the raptors jump on it and it can’t escape
