Utility Tips

What is a kaprosuchus used for? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These guys are very useful for killing raptors. What I do is lunge at a raptor and while it's in your jaws go into a water source and keep attacking it. They can't get out unless you release them. There used to be a place on the island with maybe 10+ raptors but with only one of these I killed them all. Just pay attention to your stamina.
If you get a high health one, you can use it to drain the stamina of Gigas, Brontos and Rexes as they all have very fast stamina drain, and since the Kapro has attacks that drain stamina, if they hit one of those they will basically have no stamina in no time. Just level health and attack, and have a decent saddle. They have little health, and those war machines have high damage. Though they are most likely a one time use, they will be of no use if they die before they hit anything.
