An absolute beast. Melee attack not amazing but the turret is unbelievable. I cannot WAIT to start breeding them!
Velonasaur
The Velonasaur is a living turret in ARK: Extinction with a unique turrent-like spike-shooting attack. It can be enabled while you are not riding it. It also has the ability to swing its body back and forth to attack preys.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Velonasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Best way I’ve found to trap them is two large bear traps and 4 wooden billboards. Place the 2 bear traps, then keep it far enough away that it can’t shoot at you but keeps coming towards you. Once it gets caught in the bear traps run and place the billboards. Hope this…

It is possible to kill a wild giga with a velonasaur by running passed other dinos so the giga attacks them instead since gigas have the attention span of a reaper leviathan. High movement speed is recommended and at least 5 dips or brontos with only health leveled
It's quills shot from its head ignore armor, so easy rock elemental kill
Force tame an army of this and kill them ALL
I feel sad for them😭as they are going to get replaced by the Andrewsarchus in Fjordur
I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone mention this yet, but the velonasaur besides from being a turret with infinite ammo also grounds flyers giving it many uses for PvP especially on defense and can even be helpful on PvP for knocking out wyverns
Fatal here again today I'll be talking about the velonasaur and right now we are talking about what it's good for

Fatal here again today I'll be talking about the velonasaur and right now we are talking about what it's good for
1. Acting like a living turret, the spin-up needle barrage melts through other dinosaurs health bars like it's nothing
2. Defending bases, tames. Resource spots or drop areas
3. HIGH DPS while staying staying stationary aka staying still gives more damage dealing
4. Shredding through corruption creatures, armor ETC
5. Best part is you don't need ammo for the velonasaur all you need is to pump some stats into stamina health and melee damage
6. Riding while dealing ranged damage (rare for creatures)
What it's NOT good for
1. Long travel distance stam drains fast so boost it's stamina
2. Carrying items HORRIBLE WEIGHT STAT
3. Taking sustained melee hits without support needs either more velonasaurs or something else like a yuty
4. Close range duels against very tanky dinosaurs use turret mode and attack from afar
Annoying parts
Their turret mode hurts really bad you'll be ripped apart or anything in that case if they get too close and they run then spin then shoot unpredictable for starters they're usually in dangerous areas too like lava Island on lost island and the desert biome in extinction
Recommended trap for taming or killing
1. 2-3 stone doorframes and a triangle foundation or any foundation u want or stand on a rock and tranq from out of needle range
2. Pump it full of narcotics they wake up quicker than you think
Person: should I take one?
Absolutely worth it. Velonasaurs are one of the strongest defensive and mid-range offensive creatures in the game. Even one velonasaurs can hold off entire waves of dinosaurs and people if placed right. Not great for travelling or hauling, but for combat? This thing is a walking minigun with legs
Side notes
A living turret cheaper than bullets and way more attitude
Putting this thing on your roof and watch raiders regret their life choices
Stamina is trash but the fire power is absolutely foul, criminal, just.... Outrageous
But that's all next dino tip is on the Megalosaurus
What you'll need: 1 quarter foundation, 4 quarter walls, something to make it sleepy, and a high level velonasaur.
How to KO it;
Build a quarter foundation with three quarter walls, then grab the velo's attention get back in ur box put the last quarter wall and…
