Looking to upgrade my Dilos: Carno vs Raptor vs T-Rex

[wilmer007]

Hey all i'm level 40 and i set up a new base in the North East next to Fars Peak Mountain. I'm looking to upgrade my Dilos to help protect me.


My current Dinos are:

4 Dilos
1 Mammoth (Was gonna use him for wood but i don't need that much wood)
1 Scorpion (Moving around map and for taming)
1 Ankylo (Gather Stone and Flint)
1 Turtle (Left back in my original base)
1 Trike (Left back in my original base)


was looking to upgrade my Dilo to either Raptors, Carnos or T-Rex. wondering what the pros and cons are to each. i probably won't be able to get a T-Rex yet since i'm not strong enough yet but was wondering which of the 3 are better for defending. Obviusly the T-Rex is great for attacking and hunting everything but perhaps the carno can maybe do both defense and attack.

I can grab raw meat quickly since i have the 3x resource gathering multipler on aswell as Taming Speed set to 3x

i don't plan to get a saddle for any of the three as i use my scorpion to ride around the map and tame with ease.

Carno's given that mix.
Carnos can carry a good bit of weight, so make decent mules, Raptors don't.
Carno can kill most anything, well at least tamed ones with saddle. Even without saddle.

T-rex is better at the above but also is highly annoying as a follow mule compared
to Carno who is smaller , and doesn't go spastic (edit, ;you got to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me, S P A S T I C is filtered on STeam. ♥♥♥♥ you PC ♥♥♥♥♥ in the world till your dead))
into sprint run mode which is what
the T-rex tends to do on follow.

T-rex as a mount is great though. better at mule load if used for mount as they
can carry much more weight when trained.

You can have a series of Carno pack mules on auto follow and be well off.

GO Carno.

2 mate boosted trex will kill anything that attacks you, same to carnos

If it's just about PvE then half a dozen mate boosted dilo will kill anything that attacks you lol. Tamed dinos are super strong with default server settings (regardless of difficulty/level scale setting, I mean in terms of not modifying the tamed dino resistance/attack values significantly), so personally it becomes about mobility/utility/convenience.

And in PvP it doesn't matter because they'll just kill your dinos through their choice of abuses like the clipping or aggroing until they run into the sea.

Carnos are better raptors, if you put in the time to tame them. They also don't have the OH GOD HI I MISSED YOU MOMMY personal space problems that raptors do. Get a couple of carnos.

Carnos are your best option, faster then T-rex but larger then raptors
