Do not, I repeat, DO NOT USE FOR ROCK DRAKES. The odds of you escaping are asronomically low.

High level RR, low level survivor Taming instructions;Put sleeping bags near-ish bee hive, take off armor, collect honey and die, rinse n repeat until you have enough (2 collections per hive every 15 mins) Put honey on hot bar and eat it. It will throw a honey comb. When rat burrows, throw this at the mound. -Bob

They’re comparatively easy to tame, all you need is ten honey for a low to mid level one. ‘Honey’ is not as daunting to acquire as it’s often made out, you can simply walk up to a nest (which are often located on the ground in Aberration) and take 5 honey directly from the nest, the negative side is you will be attacked by bees and will almost certainly die (if they can kill a Tek survivor then they can kill you) your only saving Grace with this ‘wild’ beekeeping is that you can use Ghillie armour and a dire bear (that’s what the Tek player failed to do). Once you get the honey all you need to do is throw the honey at the role rat hole etc.

It may not make a difference...but to whom it may concern; you dont have to put the honey in your last slot...it can be in any slot. This might help those, who like me, have a broken right d-pad (xbox).

Roll rats DO NOT swim well.

If running away from one, lead it into deep water and swim around; it will eventually drown.

What I’ve seen is when it’s burried you need to DROP the honey bring a lot for high levels

Great auto harvesters for berries. Set to wander in an enclosed area with berry nodes and pump weight since adults stop auto collecting at 50% capacity. Take the berries/seeds you want then drop the rest and let it go gather a fresh set. Fyi also works when left parked on berry nodes. So long as the area they are left in can be un/re rendered easily to allow nodes to respawn

These are excellent at gathering Fungal wood even though it is not listed

When a baby roll rat pops out, leave it on wondering because it will gather berries, feeding itself. As long as there are bushes it can access, and it can't escape its enclosure, it will raise itself making it one of the easiest tames to raise. All you have to do is imprint!

Piles of loose gems are like wyvern eggs to them, if you take any, instant aggro

Tame a few in your tribe. Set up a race track with lots of ramps, have fun :)

For ps4 to throw honey put it in your last spot in your hot bar and press L1 L2 and control pad right arrow and you throw it right when it goes into its hole however if it burrows down without you throwing any honey the tameing will go down

Make a 1,1 to 3,3 stone dino gate sqare for each roll rat . Get a karkinos and put 1 or 2 in each pen and when you need gems just jump into the pen with the karkinos hold the roll rat/roll rats for around 1 minute to be sure let them go and they will borrow immediatly then wait for them to surface grab them again . You will have aprox 20 seconds to grab the gems before they disapeer so grab them . Now let the roll rats go and to reapeat this step you must run a certain distance way from the roll rats to stop them from aggroing .

When the burrow throw honey on the hole and they will start to tame.

Roll rats can't swim! When they go into water and want to go out after that they'll bug arround and terribly drown...

as it rolls it accelerates , so over time it gradually gets faster and roll collision damage gradually increases over time.

Wild Roll Rats occasionally dig up gems, but will murder you ruthlessly if you take their gems.

6 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Aug 21, 2022   Report

You drop the honey by putting it in your hotbar and clicking the number related to the slot and drop it on the hole where the roll rat just went underground

They reduce the weight of wood to 1/5, have pretty good weight, and can roll. They are the best wood gatherers IMO
