Raw Prime MeatEach 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Karkinos as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
Its base Stamina of 600 gives it massive stamina reserves. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. At 1,200 base HP, the VR Karkinos is among the tougher creatures. A base Weight of 800 means excellent carrying capacity.
To tame the VR Karkinos, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the VR Karkinos has the carrying capacity to serve as a reliable transport mount for heavy loads. Killing a wild VR Karkinos yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
