Tips & Strategies
Pretty damm annoying on any map with a swamp and very scary but they come in pretty clutch on Scorched Earth as they are easy to tame and can outrun and fight most threats
To tame one of these guys is pretty simple your just gonna need a crossbow, longneck rifle, or a club. I would recommend using a crossbow as you can shoot at a distance and if it catches you in its jaws your can shoot it pretty quickly ALSO IF IT BEGINS TO RUN AWAY WHILE YOU ARE IN ITS JAWS IT WILL NOT ATTACK this makes taming them pretty easy and do not make a trap as it time consuming and far to risky as they can just command grab you
If you don't like dying to attention starved crocs here are a few tips
1. Make sure to have good armor and lots of health in Kapro infested areas as it will alow you to tank damage from there bites
2. If you are experienced unwanted hugs or attention from croc try chopping it's head off with a sword, hatchet, or stone axe and it should be dead pretty quickly
3. Don't bola these guys as they don't work on them regardless of what some people are saying so you'll just agro them and their pals
That is all
Sincerely

More Kaprosuchus Encountering Tips
decided to fly low in a swamp with my argie, a kapro jumped and kidnapped me off my argie. I live to tell my story, they do not have candy, donโt trust them.
Ever seen a frail old lady in the supermarket get randomly dump-tackled while she was browsing the clementines?
Well guess what, if you go to the swamp, you're going to be the old lady.
If you run across one and it happens to leap at you, bite you, and start to carry you away throw a bola at it and it will let you go.
uncariable by argy huh yeah argy or quetz and wyvern can carry it
This guy is my favourite so far, right from when I first meet him, I was a noob and wandered close to a swamp well he came flying at me missed and disappeared behind me, I'm like what the neck was that, climbed a big arse rock asap and looked around, bugger came bounding back towards me and leapt straight up that rock like it was a mole hill.
Tamed the bugger and took him hunting, came across my first raptor and shat myself thinking oh rap I am screwed, nope Kappa flys over my head, collects the raptor and pile drives it into the ground several meters away, hilarious. Always fun times with Kappa around.
I shit myself a little the first time one jumped at me, not gonna lie
When you see these guys in the redwoods youโre never safe. On ark mobile when I see them and they use the pounce attack in the redwoods they jump halfway across the map
For all the noobs out there, if these things kidnap you in the swamp, hereโs what to do. Take out your bow/ gun. Pray you have ammo and fire right into its head. This strategy has saved me countless times.
P.S. If you have a strong melee weapon such as a pike or sword on you, that also works.
Me: is within a 6 mile radius of a swamp
