Before you get impregnated kill a reaper queen for glands and not get killed
I suggest not finding one until you're lvl 150 because this thing can kill you really easily if your not to careful. I have encountered one before and it was really hard for me to survive. After a bit a Reaper impregnated me and I made a 2x2 build and I made sure I had the materials I needed in order to tame the baby.
If you put stone foundations on your trap where the queen is standing and the queen doesn’t bury after impregnating you, you can either kill it to max out your offspring xp, or save it for more babies.
Make a 5x4 Stone foundation( or Metal) and place 3 Dino gates around it. Then put a behemoth gate at one end and that will help you trap it.
Can survive 24 hours without food lol
I can confirm that being in god mode doesn’t stop you getting the offspring buff
Aberrant Reaper Queens have hidden colour regions that pass down onto the offspring.
It’s not easy unless you have great source of food and a more easy way to trap anything,it can detect, not breed, and has a lot of good stats every few times it’s mostly health to be good.
They really turned the tables on this one
Very helpful in raids as it can tank hits a ton if not affected by charge especially against turrets. Has resistance to any type of damage unless affected by charge. The king is best to be used in raids after you have broken past the walls. King can be weak to rock drakes as they get a buff near nameless. The king can be godly with daeodons and if all sources of charge is eliminated. Tail attack is good for damage and crowd control. Acid is good for damage over time and slowness on enemies. Bite seems to be worthless. Tail spins knockback is good to send people flying into the pits of radiation or other hazards.
Reapers are my fav Dino, they are OP,and can be found at the spine on aberration, along with genesis,to tame one,make a 20 wide 20 long stone floor, put stone gateways around it,and find a female reaper,trap her in the stone, get a tek phase pistol,put it on kill, and shoot her until she has a red glowing aura, when she has the aura,get a riot/metal shield, block her acid tail shots,and move close to her, she will then pick you up and impregnate you with her tail,then she will dig and run away,you then have yourself a baby male reaper,kill as many Dinos as you can, this will level up your baby reaper,eventually it will burst out,and then you feed it meat,BE WARNED baby reapers will kill you,so kill a female one,go in her inventory,and get the pheromones,when you feed the reaper, eat the pheromones, and it will grow to be an OP mount, good for absolutely destroying people’s bases.
On gen2 you can cheese it by baiting them down into the acid pit at the bottom, if you want to speed up the process use a charge lantern it makes it 10x faster
I got my 150 in a metal trap and used a spino and feather light to get it to 600hp then got pregnant
To tame a reaper should select the reaper queen wanted and trap it in a stone 5 by 7 trap surrounded by pillars and close I up with railing then activate a charge lantern to weaken it and damage it with a ballista turrent intill it's under 2000 health and then you should turn of the light, lead it to the back of the trap to be impregnated (to know if it's ready for impregnation you will see a red glow around the neck, if the PILLARS ARE BLOCKING THE TAIL FRM IMPREGNATING YOU YOU SHOULD go to the back and break the pillars so it can sniff you and impregnate)
once impregnated don’t drown or go into radiation. You are allowed to go into tek sleeping pod since they fixed that. Once it pops make sure you are blackboxed with meat in your inventory. It will kill you and take all the meat and as long as you don’t cryo it, you won’t have to feed it until it grows up. Even with slow official rates
K so I came to get a reaper not to get a xenomorph queen to fall in love with me and have a alien egg hatch inside me and have all my organs severely bruised torn and probably eaten at some point then have it bursting out of my chest then having it eat me with all my cooked meat, but in the end I did decimate all the alpha tribes and became the alpha of of that tribe let’s repeat the process again on another sever. :)
