Sarco

[Ashton]

I'm not the only one that loves the sarco regardless of its shortcomings Right? I have like, 12 of them in my base just because I like having them around and they wreck any creatures that have the balls to attack.

few point in response:
1. sarcos are just bad
2. ur base must suck if wild animals can get into ur dino pen
3. Sarcos suck
4. srcos damage aoe of hit and everything else about them are bad
5. might not suck so much after rebalance so start praying

I like sarcos, they're good defense and I keep a few around my base, and I pretty much tame a majority of ones that spawn outside my base.

Though I like beelzebufos also. I always take a few from the swamp and tame them at my base. They're so good, and I have like 5 right now. Sarcos are super good also, great base defense dinos.

Tamed a sarco once.. as a mount i had trouble getting it to kill anything, including the one thing i really wanted it to kill for me.. piranhas. I hate those, and having one of these to clear a crossing before riding a trike across would be nice. I eventually gave up and moved to using a raft to haul my gang around everywhere. Then i settled up north below the snow biome. Got my sarco up there and told it to quit following me, and it goes straight to the water. Wasn't looking for a fight or anything, guess he was just really thirsty, tried calling him out a few times, but he always went back. Its a funny animal, not one i have a real use for though.

i keep my sarcos just outside so they can level faster. they keep anything like players and rexes away, they wouldnt be able to get in, but they are annoying, and while they are by no means the best, they also aren't the worst either. Pretty sure that award goes to dodos.

get a rex for defense or even better good metal walls plant and normal turrets. sarco do less damage than say direwolves attack slower and are harder to tame. go get 5 wolves not only u have better defense but a good utility mount

dodo serve there purpose as designed sarco have no purpose. and comparing a sarco to a dodo kinda proves my point lol

[Ashton]

i have a few gigas and plenty of rexes for real defense, i just enjoy watching new comers join in and get ambushed by 45 ft crocs. i don't enjoy them for their abilitys, they just are fun to have, dunno why.

[hostage67]

you might be, they aren't really good for anything lol.

[Chiika]

Sarcos are great

[Hex: Oni's Plaything]

I make a point to kill sarcos. I really cannot stand them.

[Lady Korine]

Sarcos are cool. Good critter to get when you are still getting established.

[Twice]

I have a complaint with the Sarcos, but its minor.

Sarcos are great land/sea creatures for starters. They are easy to tame, and more common around. If you can't handle the use of a Sarco, it's not them. I've had many great adventures with my Sarcos. As for the Dodo to Sarco comparison, what makes a Dodo superior if not trolling?

CON: They bunny hop like crazy when water is involved. They cluster f*** like crazy when groups of them are involed. Although both of those things can be avoided if learned how to. I no longer have these problems. :)

[Conflagration]

I like sarcos myself, they're kind of cool. They're very easy to tame as you can outrun them even at base speed, and they do a reasonable amount of damage, so the're very good at low levels if you can snag a decent one. Plus they're very fast in water, so that can come in handy too - the're faster than megalodons and more useful for defence than an ichthy. And unlike other land and water creatures such as a Spino, they cannot drown (and don't put points into oxygen, meaning they may get a more useful stat).

On the flip side, they're slow to ride on land and have an obscene turning radius. Despite their slimness, they're hard to manoeuvre through obstacles such as trees, and they take up a considerable amount of space in our base. Not only that, but getting them to attack anything is difficult as hell, especially in water as you usually shoot past your target without meaning to.

All in all, useful in some situations, especially if you get a lucky drop saddle drop from a purple supply crate, but generally outstripped by other dinosaurs. Not useful to get eggs for kibble, as they are used for stegos.

OP, I'm with you. Sacro isn't the best in anything, but it's a great multitask creature (esp. for starters). The main problem is to get used to Sarco's attack, after that -- awesome mount.

PvE:
Pretty good starting replacement for all water mounts exept mosa, but it's super lategame.

1. It can kill any wild ocean predator without many wounds due to good speed, great turn rate and ability to quickly move along vertical axis without changing view direction. You need dogfight experience though, you can't tank hits in the beginning (srsly, I managed to kill lvl 80 Plesi on my almost fresh lvl 40 sarco while just trying this mount after taming). Plesi and mosa feel like an oil tanker after Sarco.
2. Probably the most convenient water mount. Farm trilobs if for any reason you wanna do that? Yes (go do that on plesi). Farm Water caves? Yes, just park it inside and out of the water and it's safe from anything wild. Kill that tasty T-rex on the beach? Yes! Use map/GPS/Spyglass while mounted? Yes! Hide it inside your landbase? Yes!

PvP:
Not many uses here, as specialized creatures work better in PvP, but I can confirm, that it's a very good scout, just like the wiki says.

The wife had 23 sarco's around her town that killed everything from alphas to Rex's. FYI the rexs on our server are alot tougher than an Alpha. Lvl 1 Rex base damage of 400 and goes up 58% every lvl.

Sarco's are also the fastest swimmer or use to be.
