Gasbags can be reduced down to 0.9 damage a bullet on official with 30k hp. They are the best soaker in the game and can easily soak players only. Only downside is teks push you back and players only teks kill you
@@intensifieeed have you ever tried to fill the inventory of a gas bag while soaking tek turrets? First the splash damage alone you cant get anywhere near it on foot and if you cant carry stone or metal in the riders inventory your not getting anything else on the gasbag there slow and cumbersome in the first place so weight is proabably not the way to go. Also how are you supposed to pull out the gasbag for healing. I've found of you keep agro with the gas bag tap forwards on the controller and have a golem standing right behind it. Most of the time the hit box of the golem stops the gas bag from flying around. Then put a yuti behind the golem and bing bang bam you've got a unmovable soaking machine.
When you use a trike next time line it up to where you want to soak jump off use a whip as your stood right behind it and walk up slowly as your whipping from behind it and you don't get shot because your behind it if that makes sense
If using a paracer for player only turrets raise the head and angle the paracer where it has a line of sight from a lower angle pointing through the neck or from an upper angle with the head and neck out of the way as much as possible.
Y u laugh on small tribes take 11hrs 2 raise can pop at 9khp lots of breeding 1 imprint 100 % and drop 50 each turtle can get 25 k up to 33 from 10 of those u got a denser titan plus good saddles and the shell gives reduction that's a fuck ton of soaking
Little tip, and I don't know if this is still the case but, you used to be able to run at small turret towers and take out geny's that were on the first floor with trikes if you charge and smack the wall. Same used to be true of roll rats as well
You forgot the Karkinos. Their resistance to bullets rivals golems and they are way more mobile, can have a mate boost, and can grab stuff in their claws (I've found if you want to close the distance on turrets grabbing some wild stegos and charging them head on will do the trick as the turrets will get a little confused as they try to shoot at you and not the wild stegos).
Jay, you’ve motivated me to make videos as to not misinform people, and also show the difference between imprint or without and saddle difference. Also include the other soakers you missed out on..
In my opinion the reaper king is the ultimate soaker, they take reduced damage, can protect the rider, most times will have 60K plus HP, and above all it’s a decent carnivore and can protect you, the only downside is being picked by ptera and etc
Has anyone explained to him certain animals take less damage in certain areas and the paracer actually has no damage modifiers and the stego does or am I the first?
Literally spent 10k+ hours on Ark PvP official across all platforms, made 500+ Ark official PvP videos, raided and defended bases and tribes of literally all different scales and sizes on every single map in the game. 100+ solo sotf wins. = PvE dedi player according to rando in the comments section.
JayEx23 sotf means nothing lmao i have no acsess to that event lol being a console player it’s considerably slower playing style and i deal with constant issues yet i could clap you in pvp still
However on official. I've tested how strong the trike is. With 100 imprint. Yuti buff. Mate boost. Alpha boost. And a 92 armoured saddle. I took 2 damage per tek turret and 8 damage per heavy turret.
And I mean, it depends on what kind of pvp server you’re on fx if you’re on a big tribes server and most of you are in the same time zone then you can just line trikes up so that they won’t get hit from the sides
paracer is good because you won't get shot and you can put weapons like cannons or ballistas on them plus if your smart put the daeodon in a box and it will heal the walking tank so an indestructible tame
What about basi squids and dunks, probably best soakers in the game for the mass health and health regen, if you can get hold of an enemy Stego with a squid you can use this to leach health off of, the basi has an animation that drains stam which also regent faster

What is best to use on unofficial with boosted stats? I'm looking forward to raid some bases but it's my first time on unofficial. (Server stats are boosted)
@@torporgamer8227 lol no they are not interchangeable all the time. There is a good reason to breed trikes and theres a reason for golems. You dont walk a golem into a tek turret wall plain and simple and if you do your foolish. Tek does like 1/4 damage to a gasbag and trike heads. Also stego spines will protect you from some splash damage from tek. None of these beneficial perks are on a golem. Golems are heavies only.
trikes are useful for cave bases but big bases with towers obviously are no go's, but you should keep a few as you seem to raid alot of bases where they'd be useful which is probably why people advise you
Their are a lot of factors you didn't include. Reapers are always going to be raised so will likely be imprinted which can give a 30 Percent damage reduction if you imprint 100 percent. This is my problem with the golems, they can't be imprinted so rely on you having a really good saddle. Personally I use trikes for smaller bases and cave bases because they have the highest natural defence and can be bred to have mutated health status and imprint bonus plus they are one of the easiest Dino's to get a good saddle BP for. I use racers for big war style raids because because they candidate be picked up and flown away by quests and wyverns like stegosaurus and trikes can. Also the long head makes it easy to soak from further away. If you play with mods like jayex then rock golems are best because they can be bred. On official I would recommend trikes and racers. It's also important to note stegos have a Tek version which, on official, have a max level 30 levels higher than any other Dino so it's easier to get a higher health stat. I would also say brontosaurus and diplos are as useful as paracers. They have way higher base health stats.
@@grantfuller6123 definitely the best cos high base health and it's hard to be shot off of them. Personally my fav is stegos because they are easy to tame and breed early game and stego saddle bps are super common. On my officials we use mainly golems to soak but I'm too lazy to tame/ clone them so I stick with imprinted stegos. Less trouble if a stego dies than a golem.
Declan Norman yep. back in the old days i’d always have an OP line of brontos going, and they used to be my favorite but golems are just the best for obvious reasons. yeah as you said trikes are best for small caves and i also use em for teks, and sometimes when i see a battery placed i’ve recently found myself soaking with gigas.. lol
use the racer and make a door at the front and have two walls and a ceiling infront of it push it into a base open door c4 their base close door move boom :)

LB+up on dpad? Lol
I sometimes raise like 30k dodos and soak a base
Doubt
Diplos have so much hp
They have a shit ton of hp but if u run them into the turrets and die it blocks the turrets and there fast and tall so it’s pretty good
Same
Legend
Imprint makes a huge difference.
Yeah exactly why i asked how many hours he has...
Reapers are normally imprinted so it would be alot less damage
If all turrets are on players only you can whistle an Arthropleura to attack target and get it to destroy the generator
That's why most people use both types of targeting
If using a paracer for player only turrets raise the head and angle the paracer where it has a line of sight from a lower angle pointing through the neck or from an upper angle with the head and neck out of the way as much as possible.
For Tek: Trikes
Anything or in general: Rock ele, racer
racer?

They are the best way to raid caves (only meshing is better)...
Turtles r useless since turrets can b set 2 players n tame riden tames
In our hearts
He tested turtles in this video and got killed isntantly, the turrets weren't even on 'players only'
Little tip, and I don't know if this is still the case but, you used to be able to run at small turret towers and take out geny's that were on the first floor with trikes if you charge and smack the wall. Same used to be true of roll rats as well
The Lysander thing, the moth. I tried that 3 times now and never failed me :)
There is alot of other variables that can go into soakers. Trikes and anything that can mate will take far less damage with a imprint bonus
You forgot the Karkinos. Their resistance to bullets rivals golems and they are way more mobile, can have a mate boost, and can grab stuff in their claws (I've found if you want to close the distance on turrets grabbing some wild stegos and charging them head on will do the trick as the turrets will get a little confused as they try to shoot at you and not the wild stegos).
chargin them head on?
Where are the bronto and underwater dinos
Underwater.. Dunkleo... metal headpiece takes reduced damage ala trikes
It's 2019 mate, not 2016 :)
Paracer and bronto is pretty much the same
Jay, you’ve motivated me to make videos as to not misinform people, and also show the difference between imprint or without and saddle difference. Also include the other soakers you missed out on..

1 plant z and the reaper's history
For the paracer u have to put the neck up
I'm confused as to how 92 vs 150 could ever be considered a minor difference lol, that is over a 60% increase in damage per shot
Ackillessf and 250- 258 was a major difference, he’s on crack

In my opinion generally the rock golem is the best. Very versatile and a pain to kill without a Giga or c4.
Racers are GODLY with a a good saddle...
Viperr facts and a imprint gg
Gas bags shit all over racers.. vs heavies anyway trikes for tek
In my opinion is the best tank for heavys a stego
and for tek a racer
I mean if you're actually raiding not meatrunning/offlining you're not gonna get to soak with a trike to easy to shoot off or pick
Racers are the worst soaker out of all of them. Their utility with having a box is their only use. Take way less damage with literally any mount.
You need to put the head up on the racer and it will soak on players only. look straight up and walk straight to turrets
why ?
Try dunkleo underwater just to see if they are good
When on the trike use a whip and look down u can't get hit off thats y their so good
However on official. I've tested how strong the trike is. With 100 imprint. Yuti buff. Mate boost. Alpha boost. And a 92 armoured saddle. I took 2 damage per tek turret and 8 damage per heavy turret.
Oh damn I need to get a high armor saddle that's crazy
I would take a rock golem and reaper king because they have great health and resistance and not everybody will have tek turrets
How can you be bad at soaking.....
Maybe its possible to build a wall or something to block you when you get pushed, only in some situations
bronto,Turtle,and dodo
use the karkinos
I could, I'm always put off testing dinos that you get shot off of when the turrets are on players only.
You can have it carry a soaker like stegos. It works well
and drake.
Karkinos are bosses at soaking battery turrets just jump on them can use stego and rider to help krab rider from getting shot off
Turn around and the saddle should block players only
The moth
I was lookin 4 this 1
CT Gucci CT 7924 i ran an alpha death wall with a moth lol
The only thing with rock golem is if you are soaking normally people dont have tek turrets unless your playing a pole 20× and above
With gasbags use ramps to aim the gasbag up. Also helps with trikes/pachyrhinos
We have 40 25000+hp Parac for soaking. We have loads of gigas so we send them behind aswell with rexes
Turtles are good to suicide in caves, They take less damage and can fit in most places, a couple of turtles can easily soak a cave death wall
Frumentarii this works really well until they put 80% of turrets on players only and you can’t fit stegos or golems in xd
Love your vids do u play small tribes
I place a lot of beds and run in the turrets
Karkinos holding stegos are usually what i use while using saddles crafted from b.p
you could soak player only turrets with the racer by making it look up
if you use turtles you arent meant to ride them just send them attack and wisle them bacn so they dont get hit in the head
You need to throw turtles with a karkinos or whistle them move to in order to soak with them
Dodo? 100% imp with a 80+ saddle is insane
bronto and carbonemys
nvm
Yeah why didnt he use a bronto
Plus reaper imprints or other dinos in general
If you don't get shot boxed in a racer that's op u can just go up to the wall c4 or rocket it
Bronto saddle with box and 3 or 4 tames on top also

Yea racers and golem best tames all depends if they have tek
Cpt. Potato what if they have tek, use trikes instead?
If it has good health I normally soak with a quetzal or a giga that I'm not riding
I have used stegos to raid, they got the job done tbh
How did u get on a separate tribe then the tirret walls
You could use carbonemes (the turtles) they take reduced damage u drop them in on a quetz
with the racer u have to lift ur head lol
