Tips & Strategies

Rexes are very useful all around carnivores with great health and melee. Having a good Rex helps when gathering meat, other resources (hide, chitin, etc.), and great for hunting/defending. If you're on a pvp server Rexes are for raids on other tribes as well, On Scorched Earth DLC a good Rex that has been leveled properly can solo kill a death worm but if not a few decent ones together will do.

God I find Rex so sexy I wanna put my brinjal in her peach
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!
My female Rex has 21000 HP and 800% damage. So should I get another Rex to breed?
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
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.
Two things:
First, if you want a good saddle for your Rex, run cave of the strong, which you can do with a cave tamed arthro, good fur and a few med brews and fria curry.
Second, since this is a popular page, Iβll give some free advice:
(For Mobile players only, playing on single player casual mode!!)
Run hunter cave and tame arthro.
Upgrade weight on arthro like a ton.
Run strong cave, and set a thatch foundation with a bed right by where the artifact spawns.
Leave cave.
Tribute strong artifact.
Put a bed and a couple large storage boxes on or near an obelisk. Put all of belongings in storage boxes and fast travel to the bed you put in the strong cave(make sure to save game and relog onto it before you do this) grab artifact and go find a creature to kill you quickly.
Spawn at bed near obelisk.
Tribute artifact of the strong, put loot in storage boxes and repeat until satisfied.
This technique will give you ramshackle to ascendant level giga and Rex saddles, and same level scuba gear, gas masks, and compound bows. Also, since all you need is the level to get an arthro saddle, you can do the strong cave early, and use this technique to get enough gas masks or scuba gear to do the swamp cave(also noted for its difficulty)!
Sorry that this was so long, and please forgive any mistakes in the message, Iβm quite excited.
