Tips & Strategies

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*
They can be found in the Fjordur Map on the shores in the Volcano biome, along with some X-Trikes and a few more stuff- — Bob the Builder
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.

Once You get a group of these You can put them on a Quetz platform saddle, level up stamina, fill their inventory with raw meat so they never run out of stamina, then set them to turret mode. (Also don’t forget to allow AI special attacks)
Congratulations, You now have a Quetz gunship that runs on raw meat.
Found in desert biome in extinction dlc, in south east corner of map
A good way to tame these guys is to pick them up with a wyvern (for level selection) and put them in a metal bill board cage outside of the desert.If you don't have a wyvern available, sneak into it's face so it doesn't spike you (or have a buddy do that) and use a riot shield and tranqs.
We can use the net projectile with this dino, easy tame!
About a couple weeks ago, I was so lucky I was fooled into thinking a Velonasaur disregarded a shooter when mounting an Allosaur. Just now, I thought about how a Stegosaurus protects it's rider from arrows, and then shot at the Velonasaur between the plates in Hardened mode. I got very little damage comparatively, and knocked it out in relative peace. Stegos are the key, my packmates.
Fun facts about Velonasaurs!
-Velonasaurs are medium-sized carnivores that were introduced in extinction. They have a saddle unlock at level 27.
-Once tamed, you can fire several needles at a very fast speed, but note that they do less damage to flying dinos.
-They are one of the best creatures to hunt and kill rock golems as their projectiles bypass its armor.
-They have a turret mode where they automatically fire needles at nearby dinos.
-On turret mode, the velonasaur only around 20 damage per shot, regardless of their melee.
Thats all! I hope this was hopeful.
