Enforcer
Climber · 6 maps
Overview
The Enforcer is a crafted carnivore climber created through advanced technology. It excels at breaching enemy structures and can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment. Players tame it to assault bases with high damage output and mobility.
It is primarily used in PvP combat and raid scenarios where its ability to quickly dismantle structures is critical.

Taming
Taming an Enforcer requires crafting, not traditional knockout or passive methods. It must be summoned using Element-based components. The best food is Element, with Element Shard and Element Dust also accepted. Immobilize it with a Bola, Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y before beginning the process.
The taming process takes approximately 15 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
Enforcer is craftable.
