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 SIR-5rM8, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It belongs to the Ignore category.

A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool. The SIR-5rM8 has 10,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge.

You'll need to knock the SIR-5rM8 unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Basic Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the SIR-5rM8 serves as a living shield - ideal for drawing aggro in dangerous situations. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
