Tips & Strategies
When comparing this to a spino, consider your own needs!
A spino is more versatile than a Rex, and the spino has small stam drain. The spino is a great swimmer, and has two stances. Basically, 2 legged stance is good for dps and rotation on-spot. 4 legged, the spino can run faster than the carno or raptor. The spino also has a water buff.
The Rex, in comparison, has almost 2 times the health of a same level spino. It has a poop roar, and has bigger spawns. The Rex is easier to tame and uses fewer narcs. It is great for bosses (not the titans). Spino AI forces it to use 4 leg weak mode, which makes it squishy.
Use the Rex for bosses and armies, and use spino for solo mount and overall

When breeding two max level rexes to have a super baby, DON'T EAT THE EGG!!!! I've done this twice on accident(meaning to drop it) and each time it takes me a couple seconds to register wtf I just did and then I have to wait to mate again. Sad day. Weekend ruined. Great way to start off the new year! Lol
It makes no sense that it canβt damage stone in real life t.rexes bite force was 6 tons and it could crush bone.
Rex baby consumes meat at about 1 meat per 50 seconds. Each meat gives about 50 food, with a food drain of 1 food point per second. So.. 1 meat = 50 seconds of feed. 1 stack of meat is 1000 seconds/16 min. A stack of meat takes 12hrs to full spoil. So.. on 1x, at 6% maturity, a baby rex can be left to fend its own till juvi... this is even with a 2 hr safeguard to be very safe. Honestly... 5% would work also. Hope these statistics help!
The reason rexes have a tek saddle is that rexes are famous. Same with megalodons and all the other things that have tek saddles. But really, let's be honest, almost nobody has tek saddles. You have to complete a hard dungeon to get a blueprint, or pay big bucks! At least those are the two ways i know of. Im on mobile btw. Really, argy's and spino's should get tek saddles, (you can find more info on argy tek saddle idea in argy, somebody left a tip about it, it has lots of likes so it's at the top too.) Because they're REALLY useful tames to have, in my opinion. I actully on two of each. Im going to put this tip in argy, spino and rex, so you will see it there. Please ^ if you want argy's and spino's to get tek saddles!
The T.Rex should be able to break stone. I don't see why it can damage only wood and thatch (The same as a carnotaurus) but a chalicotherium Wich is smaller and weaker can break stone ( I don't know if it's only from the throw attack which could make sense).Εͺp vΕte if agree so devs can see aswell
My female Rex has 21000 HP and 800% damage. So should I get another Rex to breed?
Just found out they deal more damage against herbivores than carnivores. Not sure on the percentage though.
TLC patch to be added in March 2018 to add a terrain bug fix that will allow it to not get stuck on rocks and add a roar that will force players (and maybe creatyres too) to poop themselves.
Rexes actually do 15% more damage to herbivores. Credit goes to another tip that said rexes do extra damage to herbivores. (Author note: Idk what the plural or Rex is so I just added es)
Since rexs are the second best land carnivore (behind giga) I would recommend just leveling it for PvP. Like on all my 150 kibble tame rexs I go for 10k health then 500 melee damage and then put the rest of my levels back and forth between health and damage.
PS: A good 2nd-5th gen Rex can and will kill tamed gigas
