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 Dire Bear isn't used to harvest meat or hide from corpses.

The Aberrant Dire Bear, a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.
At 384 base HP, the Aberrant Dire Bear is reasonably durable. With 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Dire Bear has solid damage output. Stamina sits at 500 base, providing good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 650, giving it massive inventory space.
Taming the Aberrant Dire Bear requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Giant Bee Honey - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
