When you get swarmed with these just pull out a torch and swing in the air, then at your feet. Soon you’ll have a bunch of dead ants around you to harvest.

there should be a f**king nest that you can kill that f**king queen!this thing is the most annoying insect ever in ark!

I was trying to tame a terror bird UNTIL THIS S##TTY MOTHERF###ER ATTACKED MY ARGY AND HE RAN OFF IF I CAN DO IT I WOULD MAKE THIS F##KING PIECE OF S##T UNEXIST

So fun fact about ants (irl) that may explain why there are so many trying to kill you.

Ants on death release this pheromone that tells other ants " hey something big and mean is here so go and kill it" and then more ants try to kill you.

What to do with this info?

Up to you.

THESE THINGS ARE THE DEVIL! THEY ATTACK FROM THE TALL GRASS THEY WILL DRAIN STAM AND DO WAY TO MUCH DAMAGE AND WILD CARD NEEDS TO NERF. YOUR ONLY HOPE IS A SWORD OR A TORCH OR FLAMETHROWER GUNS ARE PRETTY MUCH USELESS SINCE THEY SO SMALL! I LOST ALL MY STUFF IN THE BOG TO THESES A**HOLES

Well... If I was u, I would tame a mount like a trike and take the fight to them... I do this... Not gotten killed by them once...

If you have one, Beezlebufo make very short work of these guys, and you get some free cementing paste too, along with the Chitin.

Guys I have a tip for fighting them! Hit them with a torch and they will die fast. It is still recommended to bring some kind of backup,like a 🐸 or 🦕

I just plain HATE these guys, I’ve had the soldiers get into the body of my diplodocus, then couldn’t kill them. If your diploma is out of stamina, just request it, then run as far away as possible.

These things ruined my tapajara taming twice. First time they attacked me and I scared the tapajara and it flew away the second time they killed it

How can u actually hate these things they are like the weakest creatures on the island. (weaker than meganeuras who come in as a battle group when ants usually only have two flyers) Plus, I already said it once before but i will say it again, the ground ants are not aggressive! They behave like basically weakened pulmonoscorpions. Curious, but not aggressive Unless u touch them. (Or if they touch u which happens a lot since there's always a second scorpion that pushes the first one to you.)

Kill these guys when you see then their so annoying

Go for a walk with your PT. It'll kill them for you and you can harvest chitin and raw meat.

THESE ARE THE F****NG WORST THINGS ON ARK. MY GAME CRASHED MID AIR ON MY PTERANODON AND I DIED FOR THE SECOND TIME (yes it happened before) AND I CAME BACK TO IT ONLY TO SEE MY PTERANODON DYING TO MANY OF THESE MOTHER****ERS AND IT WAS TOO LATE R.I.P. Terry

How to kill this ant suoer easy use a sword

The odd thing is that I like that they exist, like every ark player these dudes are annoying as real ants, but I will admit, one of my favorite things about ark is how the game includes pretty much everything, and the ecosystem feels alive with the sheer variety of creatures in the game filling out the various ecosystems. That being said I feel like they could use a rework, maybe add the queen and possibly make her tameble like the bees. Maybe change their aggression or give them burrows we can see. They don't really need a rework, but it would be nice. I feel like they decided to add this species to game after one of the devs stepped in a fire ant nest and then decided that ants are painful and dangerous enough to survive on the ark. This has been yet another excessively long review by Sloppy Crow

how you even die by this little guy

Very sneaky if you see one shooter with a bow or any ranged weapons you do not want to get close to them they pretty much insta kill you

I hate these ants

They camped my dead body with a flying ant and 3 normal ants

And I needed my pickaxe to send these hell bugs back to where they came from

Run there’s nothing you can do especially for the friggin flying ones and I’m gathering berries and all of a sudden I’m dead so RUN
