Purlovia on Primitive = OP?

[76561198322379376]

Burrowing of a Purlovia to stash your best BPs and items is a literal unraidable underground vault. No explosives to hit it.


Is this logic incorrect?.. Can gigas AOE hit it underground?

I'm not sure if that's really an issue, considering that explosives shouldn't be able to hit underground anyway.

"Hidden Vault: The Purlovia can't be seen by players that don't belong to the tribe it belongs to (allied tribes can't see it either), making it incredibly useful for hiding items. The only way to actually uncover and kill a hidden Purlovia is to explode the spot it's hiding in (such as firing a rocket launcher), making it a valuable dino for hiding large amounts of items if you pump enough weight into it. It is also possible to discover its location via a Troodon's Scout ability, but Troodon's are rarely tamed due to their difficulty (having to sacrifice tames for affinity) and even more rarely brought on raids. On PvP, it's recommended to set Purlovia's on passive and burrow them away from any structures that may be blown up by raiders, seeing as the AoE damage of the explosives may uncover your Purlovia if it's in its radius. Also, do not forget to keep them fed if they are too far away from a feeding trough while hiding your items. "

That was written by a player, not a dev.
