What is a quetzal used for? quetzal battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The Quetzal can be good for carrying goods a long distance, what I do on my single player game is make a platform and bring doedicurus(reduce weight by 1/4) stone mining dinos and a few ankies(metal weight by 1/4)to store my metal ores onto and travel back to base with a large amount of resources, i bring a argy to carry my ankie but make trips to unload at my quetzal till he is full, I can pull x5 more resources this way than carrying an akie and flying with just my argy.
There are so many possibilities for what to do with the Quetz platform saddle. For example You could make a flying home which, if set up correctly, can fit a bed, a forge, a smithy, crop plots on the roof and a pen for one medium sized Dino.
You could make a bomber Quetz that would drop dodos with C4, or a gunship with Dilos and Velonasaurs, or even one giant pen to carry and airdrop Rexes.
They usually are not used for fighting unless they have a platform saddle but they are great at fighting even without one. They deal more damage per hit than an argy, and they have incredible knock back, it can even deal a tiny amount of knock back to a Rex if it is on flat ground. They also have a high amount of health and stamina.
