Tips & Strategies
Their ranged attack is only effected by melee damage when ridden. If used as a turret (which is what these things are best at) then only do health and stamina. Even a freshly tamed 224 can handle blue and yellow drops alone.
Upgrade melee on your mount, the rest just do health and stamina. A ridden imprinted velo can do literal thousands of damage per second, and a decent turret can do itβs dps (shoots about five times a second I think, so 100?) for about thirty seconds.

Petition to be able to feed it gunpowder or spark powder to get explosive needles
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!
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.
You can not use it's ranged attack when you are mounted on it it on spins around. Please tell me how to use it gun attack wile on its back
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.
Upgrading melee damage increases projectile damage
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 donβt forget to allow AI special attacks)
Congratulations, You now have a Quetz gunship that runs on raw meat.
It's a breedable auto turret. What more needs to be said?
The needle attack blocks turret bullets until stamina runs out. Possible new soakers?
