What is a tek stryder used for? tek stryder battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Turn on its laser farmer and it will harvest anything. low levels are fine. if your near metal it will harvest stone metal and flint from the metal rock. i’ve had around 10k metal in my tek stryder with about 10 stacks of flint easily. it is also the best berry farmer in the game because it harvests all the berries instantly with a big radius.
With the right rigs it makes the best gathering tame. Now I don't need 20 different tames for different things. But my heart is empty, and now I need to tame dinos just to make my heart full. All that aside. Highly recommend the mining rig with sadle bag attachments. There are other set ups on the map, but for the ones just getting started this is the one you want. It moves real slow when you ride it. So patience is a virtue here.
Stryders seem to be wayy underrated on my server. If you link them up to a dedicated storage box then they are soo awesome for farming. (Nothing better than resources automatically going into your boxes) and they harvest a lot of stuff too. They can harvest almost anything from anywhere on the map as far from your base as you’d like
Absolute best first tame, establish some levels and a base while you wait for the black pearl biome (ambergris asteroids you should use an anky or metal pick but I’m going to assume you don’t have those at the moment) and you’ll also wanna complete missions while waiting, then get about 20 mutagel since that can tame yourself a decent level (I got a lvl 60 for 13 mutagel) just pick up the huge pearls on the asteroids, they make an amazing taming perch since they’re so tall nothing can hit you, PRO TIP: put a balloon underneath its butt then send it off for quick-ish transportation and to get to places you can’t get to via mission pads
