Are Compys worth taming?

[Kirby12352]

Are they decently powerful, or are they just a smaller version of a Dilo? Also, how large of a Compy Gang do you need to actually kill large creatures?

As far as i know they are used to collect the eggs in your own base.

But haven't tryed because i coudlnt find one yet :(

Pretty sure that's the Oviraptor, but that's not released yet.

Look and the Spotlight. They can get to big freaking swarms. And they get a bigger buff the more compies dat are around so....

1 Compy= solos a dodo
3 Compies= maybe can survive a dilo
7= possibly killing a palyer


These are just gueses, btw. Have not tested

There cute pets but there super hard to tame because of prime meat.

Yeah I heard about how they buff other Compys, I'm just wondering how much is generally needed to have a decently strong army. I don't want to have to tame 40 of them just to kill a Stego or something.

They're a real pain to tame, and seem very weak with low hp (lvl 12 has around 90hp). I'd get a couple for eggs, but other then that not worth it. Any Dino with a cleve attack (nearly all of them), would wreck a group.

are they passive tames

What's their hit box like? Are they similar hard to kill like dimorphs and bats can be when mounted? I'm guessing that becuase they're ground based that any biting dino would still easily wipe them out.

I can't wait for there to be acheivements or mini-quests that are like "take down a rex with a pack of compy's" that would add more singleplayer/pve gameplay and would be quite fun to tame and level them up to face off something that big.

No tranq and tame, there torpor runs down like a train and they only eat prime.

Allthough i have not played ARK. From what I have seen, Compy's have the advantage of small hitboxes and sheer numbers. So, depending on what your going after, they might be worth it. Or...you know...just keep em around as your personal body guards.

Well, of course the best advice to listen to is from someone who has never played.

To a point, but this wouls be better done with, and easier done with diomorphs
