wizard03 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 honestly it is super underwhelming. sure its fairly easy to tame, however it demands such a supply of ammo that you will be busy for weeks on end just trying to meet the metal and gunpowder demans for a solid supply. And as for a boss fight, you will need not only the saddle BP and supply of ammo, but also will have to work on leveling up a bred and imprinted andrew. Mostly in health, but perhaps even weight. Its a PVP dino honestly.....Not much else use......Maybe a mobile alpha and giga killer if you want, but you better bring all the ammo for the giga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need to invest in crafting a high level shotty (which entails finding the BP in the first place) or to get lucky and find a good premade. All in all I think doing Rockwell w an Andrew could actually be less investment up front. Disagree with the notion that you need a bred and imprinted Andrew. A high level tame would do just fine imo because you're not actually relying on the Andrew to fight Rockwell like Rexes would in a normal boss fight, its more of a transportation method while avoiding as much damage as possible. Not sure if animals can eat cactus broth, but if they can it would actually be really easy provided you have met the ammo needs. Really depends on how much ammo you would need though. If you have a bunch of surplus ammo lying around, say from a raid, Andrew might be viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I love andrews. They're fast, early tameable, can dish out some pretty good damage, and can take some good damage in return. The saddle just sweetens the deal even more, with it protecting from dismount (purlovias, microraptors, etc.), protecting from gas ( i think), acting as a submarine, a minigun...Plus, they look really cool, especially mutated with a painted up saddle. The saddle is super cheap, but the only thing is the ammo. But that's not much of a problem once you have a steady source of metal, flint, and stone. Good luck with your adventures, and happy ARKing!

Dreadcthulhu Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 One nice thing about the Andrewsarchus saddle is that it protects you from radiation; the Andrews are immune as well. So you can use them to steal rock drake eggs even without having a hazard suit; just hop off, grab egg, hop on again, you will only take a little damage. Granted you will want a strong one or two to fight the drakes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllOfTheAllos Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Fun tames. The taming process itself is fairly annoying to me, but they're pretty okay as transport, leveling them can be fun since if you're tired of killing land dinos for EXP you can just take it underwater for some shark hunting and it'll be fine, pretty okay fighters, and that sliding turn makes them good for passing time when you're waiting for server save/last minutes of gestation/whatever. Just galloping-turning-galloping again, nice terrestrial alternative to circling and diving on a griffin or owl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because im interested in the hit and run tactic against the dragon since it takes bonus damage from bullets. Ive heard of ppl wrecking it on raptors using shotguns so i feel like i should be able to cream him with a gatling gun saddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's the saddle quality. You can get pretty obscene saddles for them. I've seen up to 100 damage per shot (or 300 damage per shot, but my memory isn't amazing so take this with a grain of salt). I'm pretty sure it also gives armor, so it's a double whammy! Good luck, and happy ARKing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
