Tips & Strategies

Breed about 8-10 of these bad boys and you can solo an element node/orbital supply drop fairly easily. Just do not attempt one unless they are 120 or higher. You can do the easiest ones with lower, Like 100-, but do not go over like, medium, and make sure to imprint them all, it helps. (They love cuddles. If they request kibble that you donβt have, Cryo them and throw them out again, they will most likely want a cuddle again.)

Petition to be able to feed this thing narcotics and temporarily have tranq needles
Itβs firing attack is overpowered but absolutely drains stamina so it is best to level up stamina, health, and melee damage. There really isnβt much else to say other than it is an op living and breedable turret that doesnβt need ammo and is probably one of the most op tames in ark. Warning it shreds through armor with itβs firing attack flack wonβt last long if it lasts you a minute you are insanely lucky.
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.
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.

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.
It's a breedable auto turret. What more needs to be said?
Upgrading melee damage increases projectile damage
Living turret that walks and bites
It's Quill shots will temporarily ground flyers for a few seconds. Might be good for using for trapping or taming... Or just killing annoying flyers.
These guys are super OP everywhere, but especially Aberration. I was transferring over creatures from my extinction map to Aberration and wanted to bring my Velonasaur, Machine Gun. Only level 96 at the time, not as high level as my other creatures. I went out on this guy in the fertile forest and just slaughtered everything. Three ravagers, all around level 80-100 attacked, but they were no match for Machine Gun. Moral of the story is, get one of these. They are incredibly powerful! And super common in the Desert Dome
