VR Kaprosuchus
Variant
Overview
VR Kaprosuchus is a carnivorous variant creature. It can be immobilized and tamed via knockout, and is capable of carrying inventory while being transported by other creatures. It is primarily used for its unique weight reduction properties and combat vulnerabilities that can be exploited in specific scenarios.
It can be carried by Tusoteuthis for aerial transport, enabling strategic deployment in hard-to-reach areas.
Spawn Locations
VR Kaprosuchus does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
VR Kaprosuchus must be knocked out before taming. The best food is Regular Kibble, which provides the fastest taming affinity. Raw Mutton also works, though significantly slower.
Use a Bow with Tranq Arrows or a Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts to sedate it. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola or Bear Trap. The taming process takes about 13 minutes using 9 units of Regular Kibble. Use the calculator below for your settings.
