Utility Tips

What is a sarco used for? sarco utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
As much as I love sarcos, they are completely overshadowed by the Deinosuchus (which is modded but since everyone can use mods now in ASA you should be playing with it). Sarcos are in dire need of a tlc, right now their greatest utility is their speed in water, but since they are land creature as well they dont get omnidirectional movement so they have very poor vertical movement speed. Sarcos also have too wide of a turning radius, the only way they remedy this is their flip around attack but only works well in increments of 90 degrees it seems. They are strong early game and after that they really aren’t great.
If you ever encounter these, make sure you have enough tranqs. These creatures are fast in water, a good attacker if leveled up enough, and are fairly common in swamp biomes. (Other than Gen 1 because they don’t spawn on that map.) Also you can unlock their saddle fairly early at level 35. One of my favorite are creatures. Just don’t use them while fighting bosses, it doesn’t go well usually.
Fast af in the water, tanky enough to KO with arrows without worry, it makes an excellent beginning water tame. My favorite part, though, is they make excellent sacrifices when you're taming tusos - they're fast and so much easier to use than turtles, at the expense of reusability; one sarco = one tuso feeding.
