What is a rex used for? rex battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This is doesn't involve the rex itself. But dododex should add a imprint timer as well. Help by spreadimg the word and up.
Up if you think there should be a tek category for tek creatures, what they drop, and best tool to harvest their drops.
It makes no sense that it canβt damage stone in real life t.rexes bite force was 6 tons and it could crush bone.
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
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
YOU CAN TRANSPORT A BABY REX WITH ARGI
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!
Itβs amazing how something that can get a Tek Saddle, canβt even break through stone, but an oversized turkey with knives for fingers CAN(Iβm talking about the Therizinosourus)
The alpha. These things are strong. I was scared to do the mission to kill one of these, but I have a tip. If you find one near another carnivore ( say allosaurus, a pack of raptors ) lead the rex to them. Keep in mind they have a truce with spinos. The carnivores will attack it, bringing it to low health. Then, you attack. With everything. You donβt need the gun, you just need to kill the rex and the pursuit will end.
Just found out they deal more damage against herbivores than carnivores. Not sure on the percentage though.
Great thanks lvl Thier health it increases 1200 each time keep mating for mutations and imprint them. My best rex is fully mutated and imprinted with 70k health better than tamed giga.
I know this has nothing to do with the Rex but donβt you think that ark should make it so that you can make weapons and armor from the artifacts and each artifact has their own power and use. Donβt you think that would be a good idea. Try and let ark know about this
FOR AN EASY TRAP:
1.build 3 stone foundations, 9-12 stone walls, 6-9 wooden ramps and 5 stone dinosaur gateways
2- place gateways in a rectangle formation(with one βendβ missing as you only have 5 gateways)- the below pattern represents the formation required
x represents the side missing
β β
I X
β β
3.place the foundations on the missing side to complete the rectangle
4. Place walls(3 high) on all foundations
5.starting at the top place ramps leading to the ground the tops of all walls
Congratulations, your Rex trap is complete now all is left is to find that juicy high level and bait him up the ramp where he will be trapped.

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. Like so people can see!
I want that 70k hp rex. Hellooooo just how?!?!
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

These guys are a one of the best midgame Center tames (Center tames are tames that are good for defense and offense). They are also play an important role in PvP servers. If u play in a PvP server, and ur looking for a good Center tame, this is the dino u need. I know most of you know that the Rex is an offense tame, but it has a lot of HP, so its a center tame, If im wrong, im sorry.
I think the developers should buff the βroarβ. Because imo there is nothing special about it right now...the roar should cost 30% of stamina but the rex gains then 25% damage per hit and this should last for 15 seconds.
To the people that say this dinos roar needs a buff that would make this dinos way op and the yurts needs some thing it is hard to tame and you tame it for the buff each dino has a pupuse a buff roar is just not for the rex
All around good game, I use them for gathering hide and meat but have spares for an exceptional kibble farm, great for boss fights
