DrSmith Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 How to kill a giga How many bullets for a sniper rifle (200%) do I need for killing a giga with 20-30k HP and probably the best saddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkholis Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Taken from the wiki : https://ark.gamepedia.com/Saddles DamageMultiplier = 100 / (100 + Armor Coefficient * Armor) TotalDamage = Damage * DamageMultiplier DamageReduction = 1 - DamageMultiplier Armor Coefficient from firearms/melee weapons is 4. Sniper base damage is 165 => 330 in your case. On officials, saddles are capped at 124 armor, so your gun will do 55.37 per shot in a worst-case scenario. However, you are not telling us if the giga is tamed or bred. Average tamed gigas have 18-19k hp, but I've seen unicorns with 20k hp. Assuming a giga above average (19k) with a max saddle, you'll need 346 rounds to take it down. If the giga is bred, you have a few more elements to factor in, such as imprint, creature is ridden or not, mutations, etc. Bred gigas will easily have over 34k hp.
