Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Acrocanthosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.

Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Acrocanthosaurus has decent hitting power. With 1,300 base Health, the Acrocanthosaurus is among the tougher creatures. A base Weight of 600 means excellent carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Acrocanthosaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Acrocanthosaurus combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 43°C and 44°C. A wild Acrocanthosaurus is worth 35 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
