What X-Rex harvests from nodes
Node Harvest Calculator
Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Metal Nodes
Stone
MetalEach 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.
What you get harvesting corpses with X-Rex
Corpse Harvest Calculator
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
Raw Meat
Hide
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 X-Rex as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it solid damage output. The X-Rex has 1,067 base Health - quite durable. Stamina sits at 420 base, providing good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 500, giving it an enormous weight pool.
To tame the X-Rex, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the X-Rex is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 32°C–34°C temperature window. A wild X-Rex is worth 30 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
