Utility Tips

What is a pteranodon used for? pteranodon utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For noobs to get obsidian, metal and other better resources and dinos I recommend going to the snow biome as soon as you can fly on one of these. This is what I did and now I have an infinite supply of metal and obsidian but tame an argy and otter first then pump otter dmg and wear it so not to get hypothermia.
I recommend bringing more than one high level Rex or spino just in case.
Pteranodon are the kings of the island sky, while sure an argent might have better utility, it doesn’t stand a chance against a pteranodon. Also to trap an argent in a birdcage for taming, a pteranodon is basically required.
People say pteranodon have horrible stamina, but a high level ptera can cross the island no problem. Mine’s only about 120 (103 when I tamed it, no points put in stamina) and my route from the rock island (where I have my starter base) to my volcano birdcage consists of one pitstop ontop of the redwood mountain, which I only do incase something bad is on the volcano and I need to stay airborne for awhile, I don’t make that stop on the return trip. And yes I do hold shift during that flight.
On scorched earth they can, with proper spamming of C, outrun wyverns (not that they need to, because they’re chad enough to take one on if it’s low level)
11/10 best dino in the game.
P.S. In pvp they can grab riders off their fliers.
