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.

Make a 2x2 cage with ramps and a door. Lure the velonasaur in with a flyer. If you stay close to him he won’t enter turret mode. Leveling melee raises his projectile hit points. Also level stamina to attack longer. A high level can shred everything I’ve come across. Can’t wait for an imprinted one for the speed bonus.

To tame this super easily (lvl 72) for 2 players

While one person blocks the spines with a shield the other person tranqs it non stop with tranqs

1 player

Make a wall with a window frame (stone or metal) and start shooting at it with tranqs if it come near just keep your cool

Name it volley

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.

Shut up, Andrewsarchus is not better and i refuse to believe it.

How to tame a Velonasaur:

1. Prepare.

You Need:

A Harpoon Gun with Net Projectiles

Longneck and Tranq Darts

(optional)A Riot Shield, color it red, white and blue so you feel like Captain America

Superior Kibble

2. Find a good Velonasaur, watch out! They usually spawn in pairs.

3. Avengers!….Assemble…

Use the shield to block the incoming needles, when you see an opportunity, shoot at it with the Net Gun…you can also just sneak up on it and fire at it.

4. Knock it out with Tranq Darts

5. Feed it Superior Kibble, give it Narcotics if it’s close to waking up

6. Name your Velonasaur! They have a good melee attack, however they can also shoot needles out of their neck frills. Make sure to level up Health, Stam and Melee.

If you tame one, I suggest using this method. First, build a 1x1 of any material except thatch ( since they can break it). on each of the walls, place a window. Whenever you need to shoot, you open a window and shoot. Close the window to reload and to be protected from the needles. I had my tribe mate do this because we made a bet that if he survived while trying to knock out the Dino, he would give me his armor. Hope this helps you tame a velonosuar!

It's about the size of a carno with a machine gun head, can easily take out dinos with its ranged attack. Stamina depletes pretty fast in turret mode, can go long distance running, can't regen when in turret mode (on dino) and seemed to be squishy against other velenasours (didn't have a saddle on). Very fun dino, like really fun.

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.

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.

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 don’t have, Cryo them and throw them out again, they will most likely want a cuddle again.)
