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-Megatherium, a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

Starting at 718 Health, it's impressively tough. With 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Megatherium has decent hitting power. With 400 base Stamina, the R-Megatherium has respectable staying power. Weight capacity starts at 725, giving it massive inventory space.

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

Once tamed, the R-Megatherium is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
