Keep up the great content 👍

[@waveclaw]

Good video and interesting use of the dimorphs. If you want to deal with the Wyverns on a ground mount, bring Velos to shoot them and force them to land. A mutated Giga still rocks the purple drops just because of the enraged corrupted Rex. Nothing besides 'moar dakka' can really help Reapers burying under shields or Rock Drakes 'leaking' inside the S+ Shield.

[@xbersserkerx5902]

Nice video as always, mate!!! I wonder how many hours you have in ark. Must be a couple of thousands.

[@docbeaks1752]

[@codethfn]

No offence but I didnt enjoy the length of the video because it was the same thing. Still your other videos are awesome!😁👍

[@DheeBheee]

In case anyone is confused, tamed creatures can only damage the shield on PVE, but can damage both the shield and the drop itself with PVP settings like Syntac is using.

Ohh that explains it bc i play on pve so i was confused

This is gonna be good. Orbital Supply drops are surprisingly fun. Extinction in general is just really fun. Though I wish the city was actually a city.

[@tomislavterek5544]

Breed giga man. One under shield, other one you ride around it. Mate boosted and have snow owl in cryo for heals if you need it. It takes forever untill you get giga to that level but once there, you can use that breed for anything. Orbitals or King titan. Mines bite for 7k . For boss, tame only Ice titan. Have 3 groups of bred gigas. One group consists of 10 giga as grp 1, second far away to follow when grp 1 is dead and randomly placed gigas set to agressive to clean up the mobs boss spawns. You in a mek. Piss easy. If you playing with friends its even easier. You dont need 200 gigas as seen in videos - or one from syntac :D He overdone it :D

[@HandyHanderson]

Maybe next time, on top of placing a tek shield, make a small stone/metal box around the drop so that at least your tames don't hit it by accident. Haven't tried myself, but it might work.

[@erwerewolf]

If anyone is wondering when the drakes hit the shield they try to climb it...but since the shield isnt coded as regular terrain the game gets "confused" and resolves it by detaching the drake and moving it often clipping them inside.

[@teallhaycock9316]

Yo Syntac, love your stuff man. I just started Ark less than a year ago and your content has helped tremendously! I do purple OSD’s almost daily, and the strat I use on Xbox official (pve) is super simple. If you want the min 7 rounds, a Dino leash and 8-12 Giga’s on aggressive should be easy mode. The next stage I go to is 14 rounds, and that is the same strat but I throw out a snow owl between rounds as needed. I have used a tek shield before, but that was to see how deep we could go with 3 Daedon’s within the shield on the lowest setting. We got bored after 26-27 rounds and 2 hours later lol. The key to all of these strategies is to put metal spike walls at the spawn points. I can solo a 7 round purp OSD super easily with well placed metal spike walls. It doesn’t take a lot, 12-36 total depending on the OSD location. Those level 520+ enraged Rex’s are fun lol

[@swaanmaharjan7409]

I see the Dimorph army, I already know he gonna get that already lol😂😂😂😂

Could you do super stat mutations on Velonsaurs for the orbital drops next video? Maybe the Velonasaurs could do more with the Shadowmanes with the roar but I don’t think it will work.

[@goldie3004]

Velonosaurs are not good for orbital drops because they get steam rolled when stuff gets too close because they switch to melee attacks and have a hard time targeting that many enemy dinos at one time

[@Cainb23]

i use 14 shadowmanes with 20+20 mutations. ive been on extinction for a while in my cluster and they are awesome. use a dino leash and just throw them on aggressive and game over

As for "looting and stuff, it's a little basic, but throwing weight and health onto a trike can be a good luggage, right? that whole damage reduction, they make such good face tanks, I like to keep a couple trikes to haul gear on, or just hold onto it to prevent despawn, I guess.

[@aidopotato8717]

You should add some kariku to your element dust farm just for the hell of it to get some more polymer

[@TheGamingBirdwatcher]

Maybe next time you can use some of your mutated argies in replacement of the dimorphs, maybe even pteras, and increase the size of the tek shield so if your shadowmanes target a creature trying to attack the tek shield, they don’t all get wedged near the drop and bite since the shield is so small.

[@Nerd-Power]

That also increases the surface area of the shield, which makes it much easier to hit by more creatures. It's a tradeoff for sure.

Do Velonosaur turret mode spikes still forceland flyers, or did that get nerfed? Because I used to love using them for orbital supply drops. I’d set multiple well mutated Velos on turret mode+aggressive around the drop force field perimeter. They would shoot at the Wyverns etc, forcing them to land where my Rexes and Gigas would clean them up. Needed replacement Velos on standby in cryopods for Purple OSDs but it was worth it. This was back when Velonosaurs bullets were absurdly overpowered so it might not work out now. RIP Cloak + the homies

trust me .the alpha controller is extremly extremly hard .the first 3 stages are easy but the last one I mostly die by reapers or the time runs out because I can't deal enough damage so I will need to collect all the keys another time to do the last 10k damage or something like that but the time finishes and all my creatures die. I tried so many times and finally won. luckily I transfered the save file before the boss fight to a single player world so that I can fight another time without loosing progress I mean without having to rebuild my army. each time I fight him I do a different strategie. only with 2 ascendant tek rifle with about 220 percent I was able to kill it in time.I failed at it like between 9 and eleven time but I finally did it (I had to turn on SP Settings) but with imprint buff at 1x and everything is normal I used theris and tek rexes with about 35 mutations and around 200 armor saddle crafted with crafting skill.Its strange but therizinos survived more for some reason. its definitely the hardest boss.alpha rockwell on abb and alpha controller are the only bosses I had to try them many them after transfering to a single player world until I find a good strategie because I fought them blindly without even knowing anything about them. also unless he cheat complete missions like the second dodo basket team mission (missions that requires 2 teams) and the alpha gauntlet he will not be able to even fight it. if he doesn't fight him in Single player first he will 100 percent lose against him the first (few or maybe many) timesw but its definitely doable solo. and when I will get my army to much more mutation than 35 using the s+ mutator wich can give double mutations then I will fight him again in the server that I'm playing on and not in SP
