Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
traps suck for rexes as long as you have even ish speed justrun it in circles shooting it keep a wide circle and you'll be fine when it's down just throw some gates around it if you feel unsafe
You can make a ramp trap if you want by making a bunch of ramps and a hole in the middle and trap it like that
I knocked my first one out by punching it until it ran away and then retrieving my tranqs and shooting it.
It was my third tame.
U dont have to use a trap, just get a load of tranq arrows and a crossbow or bow and just make it chase u, shoot, and run while reloading, i got a rex by this!
Get the high ground where it can't get you and throw a boomerang at its head over and ove untill knockout
If you wave first then crouch three times the dinosaur will ask to be your friend, easiest tame I've ever done.
Have an extra cross bow if using primative, bring extra tranq darts, or arrows. And bring someone to help it will make it much easier. Once you start to tranq out do not stay close to water, once rex is nearly knocked out it'll try and run from you if your close to the water it'll go there where it'll be nearly imposible to tame. Most importantly have fun, be kind to others!
Make sure u have all the items you need to knock it out and get picked up by another player and shoot from above ! Otherwise you will get eaten .
For taming it will distracted easily so you can get the Rex stuck and easily knock it out. Prime from stegos or carnos/pacacers for scorched earth.
Get up on something that the Rex can’t climb up like a cliff, mountaintop or a big rock. And pump him full of tranq ammo.
Eventually when his torpor gets low enough he’ll run away from you so you have to chase him down. Just be careful you don’t run into something dangerous.
Once you got him knocked out give him your food of choice and narcotics. And don’t try and protect him. Basically nothing is going to attack a downed Rex. Just watch him from a distance until he is tamed. The only way he’ll get hit is if something tries to attack you and it accidentally hits the rex.
Good luck out there.
Bring tranqing equipment not a bola and a club then keep tranqing them you don’t need a trap in mobile because they are slow just keep running and shooting then bring lots of meat and 50 narcotics
You’ll have a Rex in 20 mins now yo have a Rex
Traps are very useful but you can out run it with 152% ish movement highly recommend a trap if it’s a high level but if you’re confident you can do it on foot

Just find a rex and make him fall in a pit then you have to craft a slingshot and have 1 full stack of stones your rex (kill a alpha raptor first to get a lot of superior meat) (real man take him down whit a big bear trap and punchs
How to tame a rex
Step 1:craft behemoth dinosaur gateways and walls
Step 2: find a trex and lure it
Step 3: trap the trex in the gateway
Step 4: tranq it out and feed it raw or prime meat

Taming these things are the easiest, I tamed a level 110 Tek Rex with a good mount that I can shot off, a cross bow, and about 40 trank arrows, And when they run away you can easily catch up.
Tip:use 100 tranq darts and feed it 50 meat
