Weaponizing Dinos/mounts?
Im aware of the possibility to customize your "mount" (and character) with war paint and the like with the skin color being random in the wild and all, you can also have saddles and cargo space on your mount. But can you armor and weaponize mounts?

Like.... "Mammoth Tanks" (armored and weaponized woolly mammoths)

Or strap armor onto a T-Rex

Or a series of machine gun nests on the back of a Brontosaurus for a mobile bunker?

Or a cannon/heavy weapon mounted to the back of a Triceratops in a turret?

Rockets and machine guns on Pteranadons?

etc.

The resources for creating such things I would imagine would be extreamly rare or require large quantities but is it possible??

Also with possible sci-fi technology in the end-game. A Cannon or heavy weapon toting Dino/Creature shouldn't be out of the question right?

Devs have already stated that armor and weapons on mounts will come at a later date

All of these things yes, but you would have to have a tamed and trained (Very highly) along with something that could crew thou other dinos (Crank minigun.) the ammo, and the know how to shoot from a moving dino at other moving dino

So, yes, grand base raids will have dino-mounted raid wepons like cannons or other guns

Maybe there may even be large crossbows mounted on the backs of dinos

Also, you can shoot of dinos and/or toss spears or rocks

I can't wait to see nomad mercs with there dinos with mounted guns...

I don't know about weapons on mounts other than perhaps siege weapons. Last thing I want is a triceratops with twin gattling guns on it or something.
