1. 1 rocket/c4 for stone, 1c4 and 2 rokets 4 Wood, Metall wall 3c4 (door only 2) or 5 rockets.

2. I usually use c4 because it does more damage and you can blow up stuff faster, you can also attach it to enemy flyers and they wont be able to move fast anymore but I dont know if its cheaper mat wise. I mainly use rockets in caves where one rocket does enough damage and you just run in to turrets so you dont have time to place c4.

3. If there are only plants use a griffin and dive bomb. If there are turerts aswell but not many xplants you can shoot flame arrows at the xplants. If there are many xplants and turrets you can go with a bronto and use the tailswipe. Keep in mind xplants dont do much dmg often ist enough to just take out the turrets and blow in. For turerts the easiest way if there are only a few is running in, putting c4 on the wall and blowing in. You Need good flak with good durability and a beer (makes you lose less dura every time you get hit). If there are aroudn 200 turerts id use a stego with at least 25khp. Imprints and saddle dont rlly matter if the turets shoot the fins. It doesnt rlly matter if every hit does 6 or 4 dmg. You shoudl also use veggie cakes. Keep in mind you rlly shouldnt drain turerts you just walk the stego untill you reach the base, blow in and destroy the Generator. You can also build a cabin on top of a bronto/paracer, walk to the wall, dismount and then place the c4 on the wall frome inside the cabin (it will clip trough your cabin wall).

4. Try to go for the roof if possible. There is often more then one door and people generally have their loot rooms higher in the base. You can also place the c4 in the middle of the roof bypassing multible wall layers. But if theres no way to get to teh roof you should just go for doors and small gates which require less c4 and the latter one even lets you enter with your stego.

5. If there are many turets always try to get a mateboost, use veggie cakes, daedons can heal up your tanking dinos rlly fast (especially the stego), you just have to get in drainign is often unnecessary and if you just rush in you will even get the bullets once the power is off and you blow the turrets up (if that has any value to you). Always try to destroy the Generator or at least take the gasoline and dont just turn it off, always have grappling hooks with you, if youre tanking and the pick you youll be dead in seconds, remember that a quetzal or wyvern can pick up your stego and fly it away so watch out for These 8also the therezino can kill oyu off a stego when the Player uses the c attack). If you dont wanna bring rexes or gigas you can always just have a kentro behind you so the enemy cant use gigas against you. At times the Griffins can outfly the turret tracking so divebombing to a ceiling with not many turerts (maybe 12) and planting c4 quickly can work out. Gl hf

Yes. But stegos have plates which will protect you and the bronto and paracer have platform saddles on which you can build a cabin on top that will protect you. Other then that turerts with this setting wont shoot c4 attached to dinos. So ist worth whistling a dimorphododon to attack the wall and see if any turrets shoot at it. If not These people made te mistake to have all turerts on survivors only (the setting that makes turrets snipe you off your dino). Then you can just strap c4 to dinos whistle them to atatck a wall, blwo up the c4 (you can only atatch one c4 at a time) and repeat that untill you took out the Generator. Keep in mind that xplanst will always shoot at the dino so you might have to lvl up ist hp so it can survive the xplants if the turrets dont shoot.

i dont have any stegos or any tanky dinos except for a anky but i use her for gathering how far can you drop c4 off a bird and do you have to compensate for speed

Im not gonna quote now since ♥♥♥♥ is becoming a bible. How do you mean off a bird?

If its you riding hat bird the turrets will target you and the ones that cant directly hit you will shreddee your bird. Dont try this. Flyers hp is too low. You can either do it with a griffin where you divebomb to the ceiling and plant c4 (only works if there arent many turrets on the roof). You and the griffin will take hits but griffins have loads of hp (you should lvl it to 30k)and you should wear good flak. Its basically the concept that you just tank the shots with your armor but the griffin gets you up to the roof and you will only start taking hits there which results in you taking far less hits then when just running at the wall. When you ride a bird you cant throw c4 far, maybe a meter. You have to land on the roof to place it and it wont slow you down (only works with a griffin or a quetz with a good platform saddle and 25khp or more).

If you mean attaching the c4 on a bird and whistling it to attack a wall (only works if all turrets are on survivors only if any are on tamed creatures they will shoot the c4) the range is very far but it will make your bird fly very very slow. Hope this helped

i mean if i have a friend thay flies my bird high and he picks me up and i drop c4 or shoot a rocket down
Jigsaw Dec 12, 2017 @ 11:26am 
I wont quote again since we already owe steam billions of dollars for all the storage these books we r writing and quoting take up. You can only attach c4 to walls/players/dinos. You CANT throw it. And turrets shoot rockets down. So if you shoot a rocket down it will explode in the air. What you can do is prepare many rocket launchers and medium flak, let your friend pick you up and drop you to the enemy ceiling. You will fall so fast that u wont get hit often and you fire one rocket at the ceiling before you die. You do that 4-5 times and youre in.
