Utility Tips

What is a rex used for? rex battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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
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).Ūp vōte if agree so devs can see aswell
So I had decided to move my main base from a really nice area to living in a snowy mountain, and just tamed my first ever Rex (WOOOOOO) and since I’m lazy and the only two ways down aren’t too big well one is a death mission for a pack of wolves, I literally just get to my artifact of the immune farm (I don’t feel like running caves) and I get an artifact of immune and get to my base which is at the blue obelisk and I go to the obelisk and save make a save if I don’t get the potent powder I just restore my save and I keep going until either A I get an eerie pistol (WHY SO RARE) or B I get potent powder which is much more likely and once I get the powder I put it into the inventory of my Rex and I start increasing his levels and put it into health until it reaches 10k-20k and then put the rest into strength so that when it’s maxed out it’s the most feared thing in the whole multi verse.
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
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 ‘end’ missing as you only have 5 gateways)- the below pattern represents the formation required
x represents the side missing
— —
I X
— —
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.

These are very dangerous,if you dont have the stuff to kill ortame,save it for later.
Killing:get a crossbow and attach a grappling hook to it,get any weapon that does high damage.Hook yourself on its back or leg by shooting your crossbow,then kill it to kingdom come
Taming:you should either trap one or kill and revive,start shooting it with crossbows with toxicant or tranq arrows,if not,use longneckriffles with shocking or normal tranq darts,there are also other options
