Weight of heavyweight dinosaurs

We all know how many points defines a heavyweight dinosaur, but in this guide I'll let you know how heavy that really is.

Weight of heavyweight dinosaurs

Provided a 100% trophy integrity, these are the lower thresholds for the weights of heavyweight dinosaurs:

Utahraptor (725 points): 620kg
Triceratops (1225 points): 11,410kg
Tyrannosaurus Rex (2225 points): 6,660kg

Hopefully this should help out choosing which dinos to shoot at or not. These numbers are derived from weight and points data from several harvest screens for each dinosaur.

You can find it yourself by gathering 10 or more data points of the animal where at least two are of 0% integrity (to find the base score), and at least 5 of 100% (to confirm linearity because I honestly have no idea if the devs changed the math or not). An easy way to do the rest is to use a graphing calculator (like Geogebra [www.geogebra.org]) and plot the 100% points using weight as x-value and score as y-value, so A=(weight,score), and use linear regression to find its linear expression.

Then use the calculator to find where the function intersects a y-value of the score of a heavyweight quetzalcoatlus. In Geogebra you can do this by simply inputting "score: y=1200" where 1200 is just an example score, and then use the intersect tool and click the function line and the score line and it should make a point that'll tell you the weight a quetzalcoatlus of that score will have (assuming 100% integrity, of course).

@Peace|Of Mind ✌ No, I do not. I haven't played the game in almost over 2 years and thus do not have the data needed to calculate it.

do you know the weight for Heavyweight Quetzalcoatlus

Thanks alot this was very helpful.

@lux3y well if you look at my comment to catafesta below, I did mention integrities of 37.5%, 43.8%, and 96.9%. It does indeed sometimes fall between the two.

If you want to get very mathematical about it, the formula to calculate the score seems to be in the form of score(weight) = ( A × weight - B ) × integrity + basescore, where A, B, and basescore are species specific constants. For a T-Rex the score formula looks something like this:
score(weight) = ( 0.1784 × weight - 961.7669 ) × integrity + 2000
where integrity can be any number between 0 and 1.

Integrity seems to relate to how many high-caliber shots are used and amount of time between first shot and it finally dying. The more shots used, and the longer time used to put down the dino, the lower the integrity. But then the system can bug out a lot sometimes, like earlier when hosts would only ever get 0.0% on t-rexes no matter what they did.

@Erty , it is possible to get other results then 0% and 100% integrity , i've seen many occasions where it was in between those 2.

[Catafesta]

@Erty Looks like they consider the integrity here. I just wondered because i play the original the Hunter and there the integrity does not affect the scores.

[Erty]

@Catafesta Nah, trophy integrity does certainly affect score.
Here I've plotted the score as a function of weight of 11 t-rexes that I've harvested [i.gyazo.com] where the points in blue have a trophy integrity of 100.0% and the points in red has a trophy integrity less than that.

The trophy integrity is a multiplier controlling where the score falls between those two lines in that plot, so 0.0% means score falls to base score of 2000, and 100.0% means exactly on the function line. P and T both have 0.0%, Q has 96.9%, R has 37.5%, and S has 43.8%.

[Catafesta]

I think the "Trophy integrity" works the same as the original game theHunter. This value don't have any impact on the score neither the weight. It's only to inform that the ammo you used to kill X isn't too srong or you did not hit multilpe times (destroying meat).

[Erty]

Yeah, I haven't killed any dinos with trophy integrities other than 100% or 0% so I'm not sure just how much they affect the score apart from how 0% will give you the base score for the dinosaur, which is 2000 points for a t-rex.
