Their turret mode does a set amount of damage. Increasing the melee damage does increase the damage of the turret mode but only while mounted. Up so more people know!

Petition to be able to feed this thing narcotics and temporarily have tranq needles

That one dilophosaur after i feed him 100 potent dust

(Same guy who petitioned tranq needles)

Petition to be able to feed it gunpowder or spark powder to get explosive needles

You don’t need to trap this to tame, it’s a solo tame. If you run up to it, it will go into turret mode then you need to walk circles around it and keep hitting with tranq until it eventually tries to walk away *in turret mode so really slow walking*

Screw the giga. This is the most OP creature in the game. Pump all levels into stamina, damage, and health. They will literally kill everything in their path. I also recommend putting them on a quetzal. Boom. You get a legit badass fighter jet with infinite ammo.

If you use a snow owl to freeze it then while still mounted to keep it frozen surround it with wooden billboards so it can’t shoot you or get out

Their ranged attack is bonkers, I went from worrying about every nearby predator, to gunning down everything I don't like.

They burn through Stam fast in turret mode, but they can run forever.

We won't know for certain if their melee damage increases their needle damage until the dev kit releases, or until someone shows conclusive video proof.

Tame one of these and have a blast.

Actual Kibble: Regular Augmented Kibble

Recipe:

1x Medium Sized Egg

1x Cooked Prime Meat

2x Rockcarrot

2x Savoroot

5x Mejoberries

3x Fiber

10x Blue Crystalized Sap

1x Water

Medium Sized Eggs: Ankylosaurus, Baryonyx, Carno, Dimetrodon, Diplodocus, Iguanadon, Kaprosuchus, Kentrosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pachyrhino, Pelagornis, Sarco, Scorpion, Terror Bird, Troodon, Carbodemys.

Slightly shorter than a carno and a effective single target needle ranged attack and a aoe melee range attack this dino will be a must tame as a mobile turret.

The easiest way to tame it is to run up to it with a net gun and then start to knock it out. The net will stop it from moving and fiering.

They don't take that much darts to knock them out when you have a decent long neck

People haven’t emphasized this enough, but these things do a LOT of damage in the wild too so you need to be really careful while trying to tame them. Specifically the R variant, which I have been taming on Fjordur can just shred through your tames and you. They can also shoot you while your on a mount.

Upgrading melee damage increases projectile damage

The regular augmented kibble requires savoroot along with rockarrot!

Utilize cover, and have someone (or something) tank for you

Got an Allosaur equipped with a saddle? Tranq it with a good crossbow or a Longneck, hop onto your Allo until it walks away, fire into it's back again, repeat until it falls over. Much easier tame than I thought it would be.

We can use the net projectile with this dino, easy tame!

Found in desert biome in extinction dlc, in south east corner of map

I found a bug a few days ago with a pteradacle if that is how you pronuce it. If you use the pteradacle and walk up to a velonasaur on it for some reason the velonasaur goes into turret mode and does not shoot or anything. It just stands there so just walk up to one with a pteradacle and when it stares into your pteradacle for forever just load it with trans off of the pteradacle and you got a velonasaur.

Up for people to see this is the easiest way to tame this guy.

It's a breedable auto turret. What more needs to be said?
