Reapers, S+, and Breeding?

[ZorTheCruel]

I know in vanilla reapers cant be bred, but doesn't S+ have some way to make it happen?

So many thousands of hours in game, and im only just now getting around to taming them, and they are neat, but incredibly involved to get each single one (a lot more work than magmasaurs or wyverns or rock drakes). I could have sworn I saw some option somewhere in S+ to breed them, but now that im looking for it, i cant seem to find it. Am I missing it? Or am i just imagining that S+ could do it?

Mutator

[ZorTheCruel]

it specifically says in the mode description that the force mating pulse wont work on reapers. Is it the assign a gender to genderless dinos one?

[ZorTheCruel]

Hmm, if the mutator does it, then it would have to be the assign a gender mode. Ill just go on that assumption.
Thanks for the tip KitsuneShiro!

Newest update to s+ added reaper to the mutator

From patchnotes.
Reapers can now have their gender changed & allowed to breed via the S+ Mutator (babies will need to be claimed with the Claim mode of the S+ Multi-Tool)

Ahh, i knew i read it somewhere, but there were so many big S+ patches lately that i couldn't seem to find it when i went back to look. Thanks!

I let one of my so-so throwaway reapers ( i have 4 high level ones so far from reaper queens) level up about 30 levels in cryo then took it out for a test drive. I now see why breeding is disabled on them and they are such a pain to tame. Even with a mediocre stats high-level reaper, they are OP as heck.

I don't think I'm gonna breed them, just keep looking for high level reaper queens and when i find the right stats on one, just keep it at base and clone it forever. Wow, these things are crazy.

I would imagine lots of unofficial communities will have to blacklist the reapers from the mutator cause they are OP.

The Mutator in General is OP, but Reapers are really mostly noob crushers. Their Tail spin carries heavy weight into end-game PvP, but that's it. Soaking, they get crushed by tek turrets and can't heal from cakes. They are also obviously overshadowed by Gigas in straight slug-matches. However, if some guy with a reaper rolls up on somebody who has autoturrets, that guy is getting absolutely boned.

Most of s+ isn't meant for PVP. Smart PvP server owners would disable most of the features.

S+ is mostly a PvE mod. But there are so many settings to tailor the mod to each individual community.
