Tek Giganotosaurus Taming Calculator

To tame the Tek Giganotosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 120/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Knockout Weapons

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Tek Giganotosaurus at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Tek Giganotosaurus first with Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap.

Required Narcotics

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Tek Giganotosaurus unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 120 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
