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.

Plain and simple organic turrent that grounds flying dinos.

Upgrading melee damage increases projectile damage

Dododex says it can only got through a behemoth gate. This is wrong. It can easily fit through a dino gate :)

The needle attack blocks turret bullets until stamina runs out. Possible new soakers?

U can carry with crabs......I think you can put two and two together

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.

It is an awesome dino, level up stamina and Melee and your good to go. It is very useful in the orbital drops fights.

If you are taming this for a base defence turret don't level melee. When not mounted turret mode damage seems to be capped at 20.

The stam isnt terrible if you hold in turret mode, rapid clicking is what drains it quickly

It is possible to use a spyglass in turret mod, the aim still apears so you can be more precise while shooting

They are able to kill rock golems with relative ease with there spike attack, lvl 150 velonasaur killed lvl100 rock golem in 20 seconds.

Can be picked up with wyverns.

Melee does nothing for turret mode, however increases needle damage when ridden. Will shred anything you aim at.
Has a short range, but a spyglass can be used like a scope.
The attack where it spins around firing needles shreds large dinos.

2k armor renders its attacks useless.
Shreds elementals like paper as it ignores almost all of its armor.

Fit through dino gates with no issues.

Can fit through a stone gate walking in or out

Potentially the best dino I've used in caves. Spam the stamina and use turret mode in caves, takes out centipedes and spiders easily.

Great as a turret with high melee they do ridiculous damage. Breeding is about like the carno.they will replace the megala and rex can drop a titan with a few swipes of its aoe
