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.

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.

The R-Gasbags, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Gasbags brings respectable melee power to the table. The R-Gasbags has 631 base Health - solidly tanky. Stamina sits at 600 base, providing outstanding staying power. Weight capacity starts at 3000, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

Taming the R-Gasbags requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the R-Gasbags is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.72 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
