What is a procoptodon used for? procoptodon utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The dododex says that this dino isn't very good at harvesting thatch, but I beg to differ. As it is one of the best thatch gatherers in the game, especially in scorched earth. Just because of its speed, maneuverability, weight stat and it can't "accidentally" harvest any bushes. It is actually better than using a wyvern, I have tested them both and got a full large storage chest of thatch within 10 to 15 minutes, maybe less. The wyvern was too fiddly.(moose is definitely better on the island map though)

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!

If you use it’s kick attack and time it well then it’s possible to kill lots of stuff without taking any damage. Another thing is that their kick attack doesn’t hit in front of them. It also hits around their sides, which is useful when fighting hordes of creatures. However it’s damage is pretty low so you probably shouldn’t use it for combat.
This guy can take on small-medium carnivores like raptors or carnos without getting hit. It has decent knockback with a weak attack but good stamina and movement speed (including backwards movement). Time your hits right and keep going backwards and alot of threats are no longer a problem! Be careful because his high jump can mean taking alot of fall damage so I suggest upgrading health quite a bit
