List of creatures with headshot multipliers (only 22 have them!)

[danleveille]

I keep hearing people mention aiming for headshots for dinos like Gigas, Brontos, Rexes, Carnos, etc. and realized that a lot of people don't realize that those dinos don't actually have headshot modifiers. In fact, MOST dinos do not. Hitting them on their body is just as good as hitting them in the head.

Of the tamable creatures in Ark (plus the Titanoboa), only 22 of them have headshot modifiers.

So I put together a list of every tamable creature's damage/torpor modifiers:

Full list of headshots and other body modifiers[www.dododex.com] (with pictures!)

I just double checked most of these creatures, but let me know if anything is missing/incorrect!

Trumpasaurus has no modifier? where else should i shoot the stones with my slingshot then?

[Tanchyon]

I think it's strange how a few, such as the beaver don't have a head shot multiplier. Also does the arrow to flyer multiplier stack with the headshot multiplier?

[Han Swolo]

Dododex strikes again! You have some excellent stuff. I always check the dex for kibble requirements and such these days.

Great addition here!

[Kraken:1]

Excellent stuff as always Dan.

This was removed. Flyers no longer take extra damage from ranged weapons

Flyer multipliers were actually added back in v231.4[ark.gamepedia.com].

Wrong, Trumpasaurus has "hair-shot" you gotta be real accurate.

I knocked out a trumpasaurus, where do I get the kibble for it? Or should I just feed him large feces?

So does this mean I don't get a torpor benefit from hitting a giga in the head with a dart vs in the body?

[war4peace]

But if you only shoot head you can never be wrong. Plus, you trai your head shot skills

[🦊Λℚ𝓤ΛƑΛᗯҜᔕ🦊]

Or well, you know.. you could just use the taming calculator on the website, like everyone smart with ark does.

It has all of the info for all dinosaurs in it, and even tells you different shot multipliers for head vs body. Some dinos don't have head listed (in website) and thus don't have a head shot multiplier.

It's kibble comes from Clintonosaurus eggs, or you can feed it raw Bernisaurus eggs or large feces (actually from the app)

The trumpasaurus does not need any more faeces, for trumpasaurus is already full of feaces. Trumpasaurus needs a wake up call and a renaming to drumpfasaurus, as this will tame it with 100% TE
