Tips & Strategies
I don't totally hate these guys but here's why raptors are better... kapros are slower then raptors when on land and a little faster then raptors in water but still they aren't that fast in water.. when they pounce a player the player can fight back and raptors when they pounce you can't fight back and yeah getting pounced by a raptor is a death sentence. Raptors are faster. There saddle in unlocked way earlier. And there easier to tame.. they also have a better chance to be used more then kapros also they have better attack speed.. for kapros they have swim speed, damage, they can hold something in there mouth for a longer time compared to the raptors pounce attack which can only hold something down for like.. 5 seconds.. raptors are still way better though.
More Kaprosuchus Utility Tips
You can shoot with a pistol, rifle, etc on these things! They are also pretty useful for harvesting hide and raw meat. Pls like so the noobs can see. Ty!
These tames are good to defend your base leave several on the setting to attack anyone attacking your base because they can jump and dismount attacker I left some on the roof and they picked attackers off there flying tames and my turrets did the rest
Mobile tamer:
Since it can pick things up, and has mounted combat. You can pick up small dinos, move them around and tranq them while in the kapro's mouth.
If you ever find a guy who asks if you wanna get in a van heβs just a kapro in disguise
They are really good for Trilobites. The pounce means they move very quickly on land and are fast swimmers. Once they grab a Trilobite they walk in a circle with them in there mouth till it dies. No more chasing them across the beaches.
They can carry most small annoying Creutures in their mouth and bite them to death without you or your kapro getting damaged, (dillos, terror birds, raptors, ect) but they can NOT carry alpha raptors. I've tried it and lost my best kapro, don't attempt it.
These guys are perfect for traveling around the map, you can jump off a cliff and not die with their leap attack. I have a level 8 I believe and have explored very far from my base, came back with a crap load of electronics and stuff from tek parasaurs I killed. Very useful and would recommend. To tame you just need to keep your distance from it and avoid its leap attack as best as you can, they don't run that fast so just shoot it with some tranq arrows till it's knocked out. ^so people see
This guy⦠jumps like HALF A MILE and is sooooo good for travel.
I think the devs should add a command for singleplayers that makes it possible for the Kapro to grab creatures on itβs own without attacking them, so the player can stand in front of him to knock the dinosaur out (as a command like you can activiate turret mode with the chalicotherium)
This is a very useful mount, especially in PvP. It has a special jump attack, which can grab players and hold them, or knock them of their mounts. It doesn't have much health though. It is fast on land and in the water, however increasing movement speed doesn't affect swimming speed.
