What is a procoptodon used for? procoptodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I have a family of four procoptodons and the speed of the first child is at 226.5% they're so fast even dismounting creatures (purlovias. microraptors, troodons) don't even have a chance of getting you off the procoptodon! i highly recommend taming these as they're the best terrastrial transporting tame, while breeding these make sure to have all the points on the speed and a little bit on the weight or health.
Great mount for scorched earth. Moves fast, jumps high, the best thatch collector available in the desert, and its pouch provides insulation which can help during a heatwave or sandstorm when you have no tent. Great for going after supply drops which can contain stuff like oil pumps, chainsaws, and windmills saving you time and resources, and their good weight helps with this. However I have one problem. Why the hell doesn't it have a kick attack? Its a goddamn kangaroo! It should have a kick attack. Also it's face makes me... sad. Its so droopy and emotionless. Its supposed to be short-faced, not a depressed pug. Another addition to the TLC pass.
I don’t know why people don’t talk about this more, but this is probably the *best* early-game tame for traveling, it has very good weight (a level 2 procoptodon can hold like 500 wood with no problem) and its. SO. INSANELY. FAST. like this thing rivals super bred mounts, the jump can pretty much get you out of any sticky situation, takes no fall damage, and you don’t even need to pump speed into it because you can still move crazy fast if you spam jump. Just pump all of the points into stamina unless it’s high level and bam you got the perfect mount for travel
✨UNDERRATED!✨
Not only is the Procoptodon both fast and durable, but it’s also great at gathering resources! It’s two attacks are a bite and knock-back kick which packs quite a punch. Its stamina is incredible even at a low lvl, and it’s amazing jump can get you out of a messy situation fast. They can out-jump any creature!
Great tame!
