Wodlez Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Kapros are such a pain... so I was wandering back to my base on a 220 thorny and i was jumped by a kapro, is there any way to defend against these? It's seems that unless you're on a rex or spin-off ect they'll grab you and you're dead my thorny was shortly killed after as a few theirz decided to join on the fight :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried this but they'll rip through my armour and kill me before I have a chance, they keep jumping while I'm grabbed on to making them sort of shake and realy hard to hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffyPony Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A sword works better than a pike, even a higher-level one will go down pretty quickly. Also put your tame on Neutral, that way it can try to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I may need to put some points into swords I'm always running out because I'll build for some thing and realise I needed something more important and have no points :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrist14 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've punched unconscious low level ones naked before lol. If you're in flak you can very easily pike one to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicRattlehed Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sounds like you need to put some levels into health. Its worth it even with high lvl armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonyboy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Level up your health. It's totally worth it. With higher health and using even primitive flak armor you should be able to pike any Kapro to death even high level ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCobrito Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 As someone said just keep bolas all the time. I think thylacoleo and purlovia are worst than kapros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 the evil tree cat is by far the worst, kapros suck but on any decent size mount your fine. Getting stripped off an argy in the redwoods and having it sit in the air all crazy now thats dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i tried pikes with metal armour but it works when I'm 1v1 i was jumped by 3 of them and lost 1k cp as i was doing a trade, had a wolf die this time how do i fight more than 1?

Avoiding them until you get stronger tames. If you see 3 its best to reroute. Lure them away individually and eliminate them that way. Bait them until they're out of water, where the lunge is easier to predict and dodge. If you have high enough ground you can shoot them down while they helplessly lunge forward and miss.

thedogowl Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ya we don't really have a tactic other than wear good armour in the swamp so you can take the hits and chop it to death asap, we pretty high level n if we see a pack we'll avoid/ pick them off one by one as has been suggested. It's not really worth the hassle, sometimes they'll grab you and clip you under the ground, no amount of armour or chopping gonna save you from that!

Gilgamesh908 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Our base is set up in the swamp on the island map, regularly deal with Kapros everyday. Any decently mobile mount like baryonyx or saber can move so fast they miss their pounce so long as you don't ever stand still while in the swamps (always be moving), and larger animals like paracer and rex keep you out of their jump height. For those times I do mess up amd get grabbed I actually have 150% melee only to two shot kapros with my pike, they're really fragile even at high levels. Some HP is good but im this situation I think killing it faster to save hp is better than having enough hp to kill it slowly especially since they also drain stamina.

Teddansen Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've got 200 hp and 200 melee and that I don't have to much trouble with them but still just avoid them if you can . They're a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracul Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Kapros arnt really a problem Iv been kapronapped on a few occasions from the back of thornys and carnotaurs but a good sword and a few wacks tends to murder all but the highest level ones very fast. The issue is your generally still off your mount, in the swamp, injured and probably knee deep in snakes. I recommend ghili, tends to be a bit tougher than hide, cools you, and the reduced aggro radius is damn helpful when youve been dismounted. Also a strong shoulder pet can help, vultures in particular or dimos are good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapronapped, also on topic, what everyone else has said is good, pike, flak and a large mount m'kay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim359 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Many of the newest dinos pretty much demand you keep mounts on neutral to assit you if you are jumped. I play single player and have also started taking two extra dinos along to assist. Three and me. edit: It has made the game much more "exciting" to play again.

As much as I find them annoying like the troodons and theriz, I will hand it to the devs, they do manage to scare the crap out of me when I do get grabbed. I never stay still in swamps now.
