Utility Tips

What is a velonasaur used for? velonasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
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.)
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.
