What is a karkinos used for? karkinos battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Guy best way to do it is with three people. 2 online 1 offline. One guy on the crab and 1 on a anky. The guy on the crab grapples the offline guy. Mine with the anky until the crab is heavy, then put all the metal in the offline guy. Rinse repeat until you cap out in metal on the offline guy. Head back to base and empty everything in the forges. Do this cycle for infinite metal on abberation. ( and if you want it to be faster. Have two anks instead of one. An a weight crab) best metal farming

What makes polymer on Aberration, Valguero, and Fjordur a walk in the park. There are other maps but I have yet to go there (as I decided to do all notes and bosses run). I have harvest setting set to 3.0 so some dinos yield more from the body of a karkinos than others. Moschops can harvest more with the secondary attack with bonuses based on organic polymer bonus by percentage in levels if that makes sense. Regardless of dino you will come home with probably a lot of organic polymer.
Hands down the best water cave runner. If you can transfer a karkinos to the island they can easily run both the cavern of lost hope and lost faith without aggroing many creatures. Mosasaurs, jellyfish, and eels all ignore the karkinos making those caves a cakewalk. Even better, the tusoteuthis cant grab the karkinos either.
❗️This is important ❗️ these guys are super super underrated for soaking non-player only heavys. Even with a primitive saddle these things have got such a major damage reduction when it comes to projectiles of any sort. Not only that they can be used to throw highly utilized stegos, or Turtles into someone’s base. these are super easy to tame and are very useful in terms of farming, pvp on aberration, base defense, and believe it or not, SOAKING❗️
Despite being a pain to ko and tame these are some of the best aberration tames(besides the rock drake)
They can pick up most dinos and can easily kill most powerful dinos.
They can jump and are super useful for carrying ally survivors and dinos to raid bases.
best krob
also their chibi is one of the only chibis that aren’t super ugly which is good
(YOU NEED CHEAT COMMANDS AND IT ONLY WORKS ON ABBERATION) Note: IF YOU SUMMON A TAMED ALPHA/MEGA KARKINOS AND GRAB A DINO IT WILL MAKE THE DINO BIGGER THE MORE YOU GRAB AND THROW THE DINO OVER AND OVER WILL MAKE IT THE BIGGEST DINO IN THE GAME. good thing it doesn’t make the game that big.
