What is a sarco used for? sarco utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Imo, these dudes are better than barys or ichthys for underwater exploring... LET ME EXPLAIN!!
So basically these guys are EXTREMELY fast underwater and also regain their stamina instantly when underwater it doesnt have a stum attack like the bary but its faster so you can just run to escape and like ichthy and bary you can use weapons on it. But barys are better for underwater caves.
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 a lvl 202 I got from taking a 145 believe me when I say they are criminally underrated. In the water they are crazy good, do suffer a little on land but if somethings attacking you from behind you can snap the Sarco around to quickly attack, no changing direction like other dinos. Upgrade their hp and attack and you'll have no trouble.
In the water you still have to be wary of jellyfish so in my opinion the Basilo is better
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!
