(Same guy who petitioned tranq needles)

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.

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

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?

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.

If you want to have them as a turret dont max damage this wouldnt increase proyectile damage in TURRET MODE only increases when you are riding it

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

Up if you think you should be able to get different needle elements such as a fire velinosaur dealing fire damage when hit by needle,ice velinosaur,lightning velinosaur and a poison velinosaur which can also put people to sleep.

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.

Definitely add tranq needles by feeding it narc

This thing is OP. I have killed 20 corrupted wyverns, 2 corrupted gigas, 12 enraged Rex, and 6 reaper Kong’s with him.”

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.

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.)

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.

Carry two velos with a karkinos and you now have a soaker with turrets

Leveled and with great stats, these things can help with boss fights like Val, Rag or even Center with the right support tames!
