Will 50 tranq arrows knock out a T-Rex

[Ajax]

Will it?

[chimp]

it should yes

[MikRi]

Yes if you dont miss :)
I used about 30-35 arrows for lvl 6 trex.

Remember tranq arrows need time to take effect.

most forget tranquil are not instant , takes about 8-10 seconds for that shot to give all 100 topor juice

I am trying to tame a T-Rex all by myself. I need to know everything that will help me do it :P

[Sir Puff The Enraged]

i just did this with 25 make sure to wait a few seconds in-between shots. lvl 15 rex

[FedTonyHD]

It could help you, if you find a rex already in battle with a lot of herbivores. He might get distracted and could possibly try to feed on the remains of his victims, while you can go and bring some narco shots to fruition. At least that happened to me at a few occasions.

[MikRi]

I knocked him out with help of my turtle. Turtles are great tanks, just build up health and he will hold any dino while you shoot arrows.

As others have pointed out yeah that should do it.

But to be more clear it is in how the arrows work. When you hit something with a tranq arrow they get an effect that makes their torpor go up over time across 10 secounds along with a small amount form the hit. This is why you can spam arrows into to something and knock it out quickly. But if you fire an arrow and then wait (or run for your life) before firing a second arrow each arrow will effectively give you more torpor. So you could dump 50 in all at once or you could to 20 or so waiting for them to get their full dose in.

short answer: if it's level 60 or under and you're firing from a crossbow and never miss or go more than 5 seconds without shooting it, then yes.

for regular bow then same conditions but under level 30

It isn´t bugged, you just used the wrong tool. For some weird reason the amount of torpor that is dealt is based on the weapon damage, so if you use a bow then you already made a mistake, because the crossbow is much more effective. This also means that if you get higher level crossbows from airdrops for example they will do more torpor per shot despite the fact that you use the exact same arrows. Also it depends on the dino level. A high level dino is harder to knock out than a low level one.
