What is a pteranodon used for? pteranodon utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
People talk all the time about an army of raptors, rexes, dolphins, dimorphodons...
So what about an army of Pt's?
-taming and breeding is super easy with these guys, they're fast, have relatively high melee for basically a starter dino and REALLY powerful in swarms. It's an army of dimorphodons, but FASTER AND BIGGER AND STRONGER!
If you have issues with stamina while flying, pack loads of stimberries with, and loads of raw meat too. When fed stimberries, their stamina goes up by 5, however instead of a decrease in water, they go hungry, that's where the meat comes in. I'd advice improving speed and weight capacity
This tip is about the PT in PVP
The PT is the gateway flier. I suggest upgrading to tapejara as soon as you can afterwards.
The pteranodon is, as said above, a beginner. But, if it’s all you can access right now, here’s the best way to use it in ‘war’
PTs are sort of like fighter jets. They are one of the fastest, if not the fastest on The Isle. They can carry small creatures, like dodos or compys or other stuff like that.
One of the best uses for it is as a spy/scout. If you can stay unseen, you can scout out the enemy base and figure out access points. If seen, you can zip away.
Another use is to utilize the carrying abilityas a bomb dropper. Infect a small creature with swamp fever or put C4 on em, set them on aggressive and wander as extra spice, and drop them into any open base areas. Best if you have multiple ‘bombs’.
