Utility Tips
What is a sarco used for? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This giant crocs are really helpful at sea. They can swim faster a shark. In center, if you want to go redwood forest for just discovering something, go with it. You can travel in river and you can run away tigers. At the end, Sarco is one of the best discovering creatures. Don't waste them in a fight, take it and discover the lands.
I have just started on Abberation and tame as many low level sarcos as I could. I have 10 now and they melt through everything in seconds. Spinos just disappear and they killed an alpha karkinos without any dying. I would absolutely recommend taming a few of these early game.
The Sarco has been one of my most useful tames- especially for early/mid-game. I have tamed countless Rexs, Allos and Carnos simply from firing tranqs atop one of these in a river. Of course, you need to find these carnivores by water for it to be effective, but when you do, you have yourself an easy tame provided you have enough tranqs.
Utility Roles for Sarco:
Water Mount. I have a soft spot for the Sarco. As annoying as it can be to stumble across one as a Beach Bob, it was my first water mount. It is fast in the water, can dive pretty deep, and Piranhas will flee from it! (level Health, Melee damage, and Movement Speed)
Combatant. This one is obvious. The Sarco is formidable on land and in water, in part due to it's barrel roll attack. ( level Health and Melee damage)
Swamp Traveller. This is a bit of a neesh, and the Kapro outclasses it in this regard, but the swamps are a lot less scary with this by your side. It's high health does make Leeches less of a concern. (level Melee damage and Movement speed)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like my tip, I've done similar on the Trike, Raptor, Para, Carbonemys, Lystro, and Moschops. Next one is on the Mesopithecus!
these are actually mega useful even late game me and my friend had 3 follow us while we looked for sea games and they shredded most things even tusoteuthis! In the end they died to a alpha mosasaur…. but not until they had taken a third of its health. you can shoot off of them so they are super useful for taming
