It is a very fast mount, especially when you sprint + jump. It is stronger than a raptor, weaker than a carno(in the wild). Tamed if you level it up enough it can even take on a rex. It harvests a lot of chitin and hide, even more than it harvests meat. Perfect creature to cave with.

These guys are BEASTS! I live kinda near the red obelisk and use mine to go get pelt, hide, and meat from the redwoods. Despite the size, I have out run and killed several hundred dinos with this guy. 100% sure you should tame.

Don't let these guys fool you. They may seem weak, but sabers are legitimately one of the best gateway dinos. Tame two high-leveled cats and breed them, imprint the baby, and boom- you've got your ticket to taming thylas, argents, bears, barys, etc. Pump up their health and you can face tank any of these things while knocking them out. Work up their weight a bit and you'll be able to tail your tame when it starts running. These guys are also great for kiting dinos into pens. In all ways a thylacoleo is better, but if you're not at that stage in the game yet, then get yourself a sabertooth.

So if you're taming one of these for chitin hear me out. Best farming spots are caves, if you're on a new server or single player, tame an argie first so getting these boys will be super easy, just make a 2x2 w/ window frames around it, grab a Saber w/ the argie and drop it in and there you have it. Once tamed, bring them back to base and once you have it's saddle, make it punch as many trees as you can so it quickly boosts to a high-decent level (try min. 70~80), grab as much food and arrows/bullets depending on what weapon you use (I recommend crossbows since the Saber will do the job), grab the Saber w/ the argie and head to a cave, from there set your argie to guard the entrance and go farm chitin like crazy inside the cave, since a level 70+ Saber shreds everything in pieces, one slap and it harvests loads of chitin from scorpions and spiders, once you have enough chitin, go back to the entrance, put the chitin on the argie, head back, rinse and repeat till how deep you can go in the cave (quick tip: if you're afraid for your argie, just leave it mid air) 100% approved by Joe Biden📌

Awesome for cave runs ‘cause they are small but robust, fast and can pack a punch. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing for caves. I have one with 500% melee that can get 20-30k chitin per cave run.

Simply amazing at collecting hide and chitin. You can easily get 50-60 chitin per scorpion kill. Hide numbers run up quick too. Within minutes you'll be sitting at around a 1000 hide. They're quicker than the raptor Imo and pack a much harder punch. They do lack higher defense like other big dinos, but don't be fooled by their size. These guys are nasty. I recommend getting health above 1800. Stamina around 800-100, movement speed 130+, and melee around 250-300%. If you can achieve this, you'll have an exceptional utility hunter.

They're so OP, honestly

I killed countless thery', spinos and baryonixs...

I even killed once a bunch of terror birds and a paracetharium, whole in one time

I really don't know why so many people doesn't like them

I personally love mine

My man if you jump fast while running you literally bhop and get a ton of speed!

These things are amazing, especially if you are low level. I found a level 150 (max level) in the redwoods, and it helps collect so much hide and chitin. 100% recommend.

I think they've got reduced fall damage. Just like a good kitty always falling on dem paws.

If the question ‘which is better dire wolf or sabertooth’ comes in mind, as amazing the saber tooth is by appearances, It’s honestly outclassed by the Dire Wolf.

(Only if you have stamina)if u jump repeatly it will be faster than a thyla or dire Wolf

Hit to the Sky if helps

Really ark? They have large teeth and their primary attack is a claw attack. I wish they would give some love to sabertooth they're really cool i would prefer them over direwolf but seems like direwolves have more use than these guys.

Great at harvesting from dead creatures they can get abt 50 hide off of a compy from my experience and 30 from a dodo they also are very fast faster than raptors or scorpions they can climb pretty well they can't go straight up but they can go up steaper hills than you they also jump which is kinda like a short quick glide in my opinion I really recommend these they are great tames

These things can be as fast as raptors sometimes! I had a saber named Peppermint and she got me to the hunter cave so fast it was insane. Sadly, she died while I was doing the cave. Rip Peppermint, I loved you.
