Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
Aberrant Ankylosaurus isn't used to harvest meat or hide from corpses.
Check the node yields above to see what it gathers from resource nodes.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 175 gives it decent staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 672 Health, it's quite durable. It carries 250 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
To tame the Aberrant Ankylosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Aberrant Ankylosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 16°C–20°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.93 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
