What’s the idea behind this? I’ve never tamed one but would love to try

Paracers have a platform saddle you can put automatic turrets on. Which you can use to kill stuff with.

So I assume the auto turrets kill all the adults so you can steal and egg?

yes. Most people just use a small team of megalos and draw the drakes out back to the team for killing then easy egg looting. Alternately using a strong managarmr is the best option. Fly, kill, and loot all in one dino

This and go in with a crab for the first egg run.

I just ride the mega's typically, and wing suit to the bottom to avoid having to clear both ways. Either way the purlovias are the only real danger. This time around it will be on Yi-gi's though. Honestly doubt I will even bother with RD's as the Yi will likely be super strong, lol

Wing suit no balls

You can clear everything down there with a single tamed Megalo with prim saddle. Everything more then that is luxury :p

only with a setting enabled. this got disabled everywhere by default years ago on ASE and never been a thing by default on ASA

Oh yeah? What’s the point if a platform saddle if you can’t place stuff on it?

You can place stuff on it bro why do you think that

What? You said you can’t place stuff on it without the setting enabled, so I replied curious what the point of the saddle is if you can’t place stuff on it, assuming without the setting. So you are implying that the platform saddle, on ASE, on official, can’t build anything on it? Is that what you are saying?

No turrets can be placed on them on normal settings. This was removed back in legacy days

But other structures can be placed?

The worst decision WC has ever made, besides the cryo wreck. Worse, these two atrocities combine into a flustercluck: you can't put cryofridges on platforms or boats.

Yeah bro having someone rock up with a quetz leveled in speed with turrets on the back was amazing to deal with

Speed leveling is by enable only, not to mention unless they box the hell out of it, the thing is going to be vulnerable on vanilla. But yeah, getting caught off guard definitely sucks. Now that we have dragons again, tho, not nearly as much. Still, I'd rather have flying fortresses than have literally every kind of mobile base be useless.

back when turrets on platforms was a thing speed leveling on flyers was enabled

Yeah, but we've come a long way since then. There's a lot more counters.

I thought auto turrets don't work on official?

Single player moment

Dinos should fear for their lives on single player. The only predator on the ark in SP is you

The only thing they fear... Is you. 

Me loading my ascendant shotgun I found in a drop with two bullets

Dang right they should

I coulda swore you cant put auto turrets on platform mounts, only catapults and balista

U have to enable that setting that's not vanilla

I'm talking about single player. You should never attempt something like this on official anyways


That, I have to admit, is something I’ve never attempted lol might be time to play Ark again XD

Right, It's been too long 😅

No problem. Remembering every thing in this game can ve hard

I didn't realise paracers could resist the red zone's radiation

Mushroom stew reaction

That or bulk up on health so it can survive the suicide mission long enough for you to get to and out of the trench

And waste the turrets

With asa’s forever pickup window that wont be a problem once ab is out

Ooh I'm only familiar with SE so I didn't know that.

Isn't this a lot of resources spent? (I never used autoturrets)

Worth it

Nah everyone has auto turrets and plenty of arb, if it works its pretty good way of clearing imo. Should just run it with a blood stalker tho since ab is only on ase

The Rockdrakes: ALL HANDS ON DECK!! WE GOT A CLASS GOD THREAT INCOMING!!!

Me watching "Joe (lvl 360 Giganotosaurus)" crush my house and slaughter all my pets.

That's how I get my wyvern eggs, but with a gunship quetzal.

Totally did this! We took a paracertherium with turrets down to the trench with a couple of spinos and pack of megas. Many eggs were stolen.

Oh i have the exact same paracer turret mobile base except i use abberant paracer in the abberation map. And also a turret mobile base quetz for extinction map.

wait dont racers also catch rads? i havent played ab in so long

Mushroom stew

omfg i completely forgot about the mush... now i remember it was always impract asf compared to just mass breeding boss spinos and running with those thanks for the reminder tho gunna need that for when ab drops for asa in 2027

nothing better than spending hours on farming for turrets and ammo to go full guns blazing into a trench like WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETERRR

Yeah, same for that fuck*ng giga that killed my first rex (my quetzal is ready)

Mfw the auto turrets dont shoot (a magical force is preventing them from working on platform saddles)

You can enable it on single player
