Tips & Strategies

You can use this guy for just about anything. Depending on server settings you can build just about anything on it platform saddle. I like two keep three of these guys around. I use one for a base away from my main base so I can keep it close to resources that are to far or to dangerous of a location to setup a permanent base. I keep one with a platform saddle in my main base for building because it can carry a lot and help place structures that are hard to reach. Then the third to harvest rare mushrooms and flowers. I know not the best tame but it can carry a lot, do a lot of damage(self defense while farming) and itβs a little faster the a bronto so still not winning a race but getting the job done.

He protec, he attac, but most of all...
He got a cannon on his back.
Ok, so I just tamed two of these. (I live in the swamp/Redwoods) So, Iβm just living my life, and an Alpha Carno just comes out of nowhere?? He just kinda,,, appeared. And I was really stressed out cause I thought I was gonna lose everything, but my paracers came through! They had the Carno down in less than a minute. I would definitely recommend these things to mid-level players like me, especially since theyβre not hard to tame at all! (Sorry itβs so long, I got excited)
Most likely gonna get hated for this but uhh
To me itβs free meat ;-;.
On Scorched Earth the Paracer with its platform saddle is a needed tame. You can put a cannon on it and use it for taming Rock Elementals or use its high weight and health for carrying large loads of supplies around through dangerous areas.
If youβre trying to pick between a bronto and one of these guys, absolutely take these guys, theyre better all round, and yes, the platform is a lot smaller, but itβs all you need on PVE, and it does the job nicely, whether you need metal, to move dinos, whatever, these guys gotchu
I use my paracer as my cargo transport dino for short to mid distance. I use it to go to the redwood nearby and gather MASSIVE amounts of metal. Just hop off, get the metal, load up the paracer, then get back home. They can defend themselves quite effectively
Comparing the paracer and bronto
The paracer has : speed,dps,stamina,and platform saddle is learned at level 50
But also the paracer has : lower hp,weight and a smaller platform saddle
The bronto has :great weight, large platform,better hp and is the best berry gathering dino by far
But the bronto also has :lower speed,lower dps,lower stamina and the saddle is learned at level 82
PRO TIP: Slap a platform saddle on this bad boy. And search "Elemental Mega Farmer" on YouTube to find a build that will allow you to farm infinite weight of resources!
Way better than the bronto in terms of size speed and mobility
Put auto turrets on its back and you got an ATAT
