Well, plant species x plants can stop it but you need a decent amount of them hitting it. But other then that, yeah it is dumb. They shouldnt have been introduced on regular primitive servers either.

I absolutly dislike the Giga being in the game. With that said though I am just as against Prim+ taking the Giga out of the game. Leave it to the server admins to make that decision.

I agree there is no way to counter it... and also agree that Primitive+ should not take it out.
I think Primitive+ should transform the Giga into a regular dino, a more powerfull Rex perhaps, but no more than 25% stronger.

A good solution would be if Primitive Plus is on The Center, just only have it spawn on the lava island. Not sure what the solution is for The Island but maybe do have it be less powerful.

I am looking to possibly join a primitive plus server. I was wondering, Kindleriver, what server you are on? Is it The Island or The Center map? Are the current players playing according to how the developers hoped the primitive plus would go... community survival, not individual survival? Does everyone have a specialty that adds to the community's survival efforts? PVE?

I made this post right after The Center map was released as official. At that time, I was playing on a private server and there were two gigas. They destroyed several bases. The people on that server were not able to do anything against the giga at all. It just came in and wrecked everything in its path. I think that the devs have tweaked the danger on The Center map so that it is not as bad as it was.

I also play on The Island PVE Official Server 2 which is primitive plus. So far, I have not heard of or seen a giga on that server. I still am not sure what people could do to protect themselves again a giga if one should attack a base, though. We could try using the x plants, I guess, but it would take a lot of those if the giga were very high level.

I have helped kill and tame several gigas on servers that are not primitive plus, but it always took a lot of us with high powered guns and trancs to do it and we had metal walls to defend.

We have just started seeing gigas on our primitive plus map. The admin is going to remove it but after it had eaten a person's base with all their dinos. :(

We do not have any defense against a giga on Primitive plus since the only thing that can protect against it is metal.

Please let us live on our beautiful primitive plus lands without fear from this horrible creature.

What about metal spikes? Last I checked you can easily have a giga kill itself on metal spikes (wild), and with gates you can just funnel them through a PSX storm.

Also aren't they affected by large bear traps? One large bear trap would give you enough time to drop a tamed or wild giga with enough firepower.

The giga is not as much a threat as it was when I first posted this thread. Now we have brick and cement that they upped the values so that it is as strong as metal. :D
