Escaping a birds talons.

[R1ch4rd N1x0n]

If a bird (ptera, argent, quetz) picks you up you should be able to free youself by doing a certain amount of damage by attacking the claws. Like if you get picked up by a ptera you can hit its claws a certain amount of times and it will free you, the more health it has, the harder it is to free yourself, the quetz has the strongest resistance to when a player tries to free themselves, argent is medium, and ptera is worst.

If you're picked up by a ptera, bola it.

If you're picked up by an argent, pike it.

If you're picked up by a quetz, shotgun it.


Obviously, always have more than one parachute on you.



In all sincerity, the mechanic you're requesting already exists: Birds have health, so do damage until the guy carrying you either drops you because he's afraid you'll kill his bird, or until the bird dies. I don't think dead birds can carry all that much!

If this is happening as a griefing thing on an official server, take it as a lesson and move to an unofficial one. Official servers don't have admins. It stinks, and it's just as annoying in never being able to find a 1x server anywhere, but there's not much choice.

If it's a low enough level teradon just shotgun it also

Also dodging works prior to being snatched. No I am not being sarcastic. Also if its a ptera, and wasn't leveled up in weight... if you can carry 400+ keep yourself just under the weight limit so you arnt encumbered.. yes it works ive had ptera riders grab me and sit there stuck because the rider and I weighed more then their bird could carry... its funny and the rider always rages when you kill him and his bird this way..

You will lol your butt off trust me =)

Maxanto hit the nail on the head... GOOD TIMES!!!!
Or, shotgun/pike preferably both ALWAYS on you

I wish there was somthing like what your asking for. A full battle quetz with good armor is nearly impossible to escape from. I had one hold me still for about 5 mins of me shooting, stabbing then punching it while his teamate tranqed me. All this on a server with no dino resistance and only max lvl 150. Its insane imo.
