What is a kaprosuchus used for? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Kapro is essentially a glass cannon. It can grab pretty much anything smaller than it, including raptors, and make short work of them while running/swimming away. When riding, I advise you stay near the water because it makes getaways much easier as most enemies swim VERY slow. Level stamina and melee damage/health depending on what you use it for (combat/transport).
Kaprosuchus are incredibly annoying in the wild but once you manage to tame one at a high enough level they can genuinely be some of the most fun creatures to use in ark. Running around grabbing smaller dinos and EATING THEM ALIVE WHILE THEY CAN’T FIGHT BACK is surprisingly fun to do. I also quite enjoy just walking up to a random wild raptor, grabbing it and running around with it in the kapro’s mouth while it fumbles and spams it’s attacks. I just carry wild raptors around and bring them near their natural prey letting them attack WHILE I’m carrying them. Lots of fun things can be done with this thing
don't tame this guy, it's not worth it. nothing more than an average mount that can carry small animals with its leap attack. has a relatively high DPS but so have a lot of other creatures that don't spawn in the GODDAMN SWAMP. believe me, catching this thing in the Island's swamp is a NIGHTMARE! not worth it! just wait until you unlock other saddles, not all strong creatures spawn in terrible locations (Theri is a good example, it spawns in the south of the Island where you'll find nothing but herbivores, with the exception of the occasion Sarco and some Raptors)
Recommend big time. I have one called Lizzy (yes after the movie rampage.) and pretty much anything but a rex or spino/theri/yutyranno/allos/ will be killed in 1 leap (high level carnos/baryonyx also take 2 but run after 1 hit.once a pack of carnos and their yutyranno leader showed up and she killed all of them but the yutyranno 1 leap each (yutyranno took 4) the levels where: carno lvl 16, carno lvl 27, carno lvl 31, and yutyranno lvl 12
