What ARK players use the Karkinos for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

On PS4

If you tap the inventory key as fast as you can while airborn on your karkinos, it will glide almost forever.

Over long distances it'll almost be faster than a rock drake as it keeps on building up speed using this trick.

Pick up a stego with it then stand near a titanoboa/pulmonoscorpius congrats you got a free Stego no tranqs needed. When your done just pick up the titanoboa/scorpion and go to another stego. Works with anything from dodos to pachyrhinosaurus.

(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…

If you pick up a wild dino in the claw you can get off the crab and it will still be held. So you can grab something like a ravager and it will be chilling there while you make narcotics and such. Also for ravagers you can pick up the alpha without angering the others just…

I don’t see this a lot but if you pick something up, you can knock it out while the crab is holding it. I nicked out a Dodic this way and it worked pretty whell. If wou get one with high health you can probably use it to get a ravager or raptor.

Turret velos can become guns, get 2 high levels and a good crab and go ham

On fjordur these can be found on the abberation cave near balheimr they need catapult turrets to tame these things are walking taming pens on pc they pick creatures using right or left click respecting each hands by c they'll throw the creatures they can jump super long…

Can harvest with chain saw for poly just tame a low level cloner or kill wilds but as far in know chainsaw best tool

Karkinos is also great at defense, is someone is trying to soak your turrets with stegos or turtles you can toss them away and win a lot of time while the atackers have to go take their tames back. Especially if near a ledge or cliff

In my experience the karkinos is good for raiding bases and gathering resources.

Walking harvesting tank. Dual wield doedics and auto harvest stone or have friends on them to really load them or an anky up

My friends and I tamed one and I then tamed an anky. Boom tons of metal, I just picked him and the anky up with the crab and then he would harvest the metal nodes

Basically immune to status effects like pachy gas and dilo spit since they won't use their ability when picked up

Aim for his butt with bolders. Also, be carful or you’ll end up dying if you Don’t have backup

Honesty it’s ability to carry is insane, you can dismount and it will still hold the creature you’re carrying, can carry two, can throw insanely far, and can even pick up stegos.

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.…
