Tips & Strategies
The Paracer is great in Scorched Earth, it works as a mobile base, mining rig, or a transport Dino. If using as a mobile base use a few destructible pillars and ceilings to lay foundation slightly below the platform so you can build a structure on the back that will keep you insulated while riding. If using as a mining rig you can place a ramp for your Anky or have a mantis run along with it, if the Paracer gets over weight just use a whip on it and it will move. If you're using as transport I recommend around 140% movement speed and about 2k stam, you'll be able to get anywhere very quickly. Oh and don't forget, if there's a large drop off in your way, you can run off with the Paracer and dismount in air, wait till it hits the ground and remount, you will take no fall damage.

I use Paracers as my back up base, it's very handy for moving base locations and it's decently fast for traversing. They are also very cute!
He protec, he attac, but most of all...
He got a cannon on his back.
Most likely gonna get hated for this but uhh
To me itβs free meat ;-;.
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)
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.
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
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
Make sure to build a behemoth gate before getting one of these guys. They are pretty big :-/.
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
