The Karkinos and the Anky is a great way to farm metal in aberration in the blue zone.
Karkinos
The Karkinos is a massive crab-like creature in Ark: Aberration that can grab and smash creatures and players. It can also throw them at great lengths. Using its strong legs, the Karkinos can leap to impressive heights.

What ARK players use the Karkinos for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can carry utility dinos like anklusaures and more.
Responding to the person who said the how doedics swing castaroides should attack trees if you pick them up but that may not work anymore...
This Is a great tame for material runs. If you have 2 people, you can use any material-getting tame and the crab. Just pick up the tame while someone is riding it and go farm away.
Grab two arthros with bobs on em and let em destroy any base you want.
Crab and anky is the best form of metal gathering as the crab can still move by dropping and picking back up while pushing forward. This enables you to black box an anky. In abberation you can do this in about 15min on normal server settings. Black box anky is 90k raw metal.…

In abberation you can do this in about 15min on normal server settings. Black box anky is 90k raw metal. 45k ingots after smelting. Dont pump any weight into anky. Only melee.
I use this thing to hunt for trilobites in the fertile lakes. It can walk on the bottom making it easier to spot them, pick them up and kill them for harvesting oil. Also fairly good for fighting off sarcos as it can grab them.
Chainsaw for Max organic poly, your welcome
Tame then Pickup 2 ankys and get a bunch of metal from nodes with insane speed.
If a stego is soaking your turrets you can pick it up with the crab and throw it away to either slow it down or to get to a place where your dinos can finish it off. A death pit also works.
These things are overpowered when it comes to defending your base because you can throw away anything they send at you.
Controls are as follows: Hold space the charge jump, hold rmb/lmb to grab hold of dino. Hold "C" to charge up your throw. Tapping rmb/lmb will attack. Also drops ORGANIC POLYMER
How much health would a alpha 174 karkinos have.
In my opinion I think they should buff this creature it’s a amazing creature but I would love if you could make it
So where you can breed them and make it to be able to carry more creatures for example it can carry a stegosaurus but Can’t carry Argentavis. It’s…

So where you can breed them and make it to be able to carry more creatures for example it can carry a stegosaurus but Can’t carry Argentavis. It’s probably because of the hit boxes but still doesn’t make much sense. It’s an amazing creature but I feel like (Wild card The developer of ark by the way) should give this creature The attention it needs.
This is a magnificent crab that can help you during metal runs, he can literally throw overweighted creature so far!
Very good utility tame. Can carry two dinos at a time. They can also carry the tames even when you aren’t riding them and have them set to follow. I used them for metal gathering with ankys,.
have this thing duel wield velonasaurs and watch the massacre
For metal get a anky ride one fill the Wight and pick up with a crab 1 got about 10 stacks of metal
need metal on abb but your anky is to slow pick it up with a crab and take it where the metal is rich
Do not I reapeat not use anything that shoots projectiles enless it's a cattapult , ballasts ect. It takes 10% damage from those I'm not sure about bows and cross bows.
