Tips & Strategies
Reapers. The rich mans rex. They are based of the alien franchise but that is irrelevant to this tip.
Tip 1. The reaper has no saddle, but takes WAY less damaged than other creatures. It has something like 80% damage reduction. Perfect for pvp and pve.
Tip 2. When getting your first reaper, consider these points.
A. Is it a turret reaper? If so, get as low a level as possible and don't attack anything while pregnant. It takes less element to clone.
B. Is it a combat reaper? If so, get as high a level as possible and cause an extinction event to get as many bonus levels as possible.
Tip 3. Although powerful in the right hands, reapers are no match for mutated gigas. A rex has as much chance.

A maewing can pick up and feed Reaper baby
Lure a Reaper Queen into a metal trap WITH A COVERED FLOOR SO IT CANNOT ESCAPE AFTERWARDS, that way multiple people can get pregnant from 1 good Queen. These other beach noob comments forget that detail. Using glowpets to weaken her, damage her until she reaches 2k hp, preferably with a Megalo or Reaper, but Drakes work too. Turn the lights off and she'll glow pink, showing she's ready. Now dismount and stay just out of reach until she leans forward, at which point she'll try to pick you up and BAM you're pregnant. There's a Drake trick that works without dismounting, look it up. Use the next 12 hours to trap more Queens, finishing them off with a shotgun to get the most exp for the baby. Once time is up, encumber yourself with meat in a small room and let the baby kill you when it hatches. It'll take all the meat regardless of weight and you won't have to handfeed it at all, pheromones are worthless lmao. Use a crab to pick the baby up and it'll stay there until it hits juvenile.
Logging off pauses the pregnancy timer.
The maewing will feed baby r reapers just make sure to put food in the marwingβs inventory and turn on nursing
Pressing R1 whilst riding any reaper variant on PS4 makes the reaper do a roar.
It is the second strongest Reaper ingame. Only thing being better is the Alpha Surface Reaper. Getting impregnated by a queen lvl 150 and getting all 75 lvls possible for it gives you anreaper baby born with 15-20k HP which after imprint almost 30k. Dmg gets over 300% and after imprint close to 400%. Lvled can be 40k HP and over 600% if not 700% easily. Its a beast, can charge jump like a crab, take it down there to the drake nests and you can farm eggs for days. But be aware that light makes him weaker aka he takes more dmg and deals less.
