I Built an Ascendant Enforcer! But was it Worth it? | ARK Extinction [E18]

[@Syntac]

So... are they really worth it? Jasper Plushie ➜ www.makeship.com/products/jasper-plushie Series Playlist ➜ kzbin.info/aero/PLK9-Z4-5XklgBtngktJAdVm0umlyceutP

[@bujtorm]

Brief reminder Syntac: Enforcers' "food" is element dust, and if they lose all their Energy, and can't consume Element Dust to regain it, they instantly self-destruct like Meks, instead of gradually losing health like "living" creatures.

[@DoniPasha-fz1jj]

Can you make a series of ark ultimate survivor edition

[@rhinosblades4205]

I like the enforcer I use 3 you have to be careful hitting 5k hp and then putting everything into damage seems to be the trick for me personally but knowing when to run is important

[@britishcrow]

I mean they are pretty agile

[@CcRandomArt]

My has 5k health and does 1200 damage to corrupted creatures. It’s a good creature to ride on in osd but, need something else to tank and kill arthropleura.

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

Honestly the Enforcers need a major health buff. Just not worth it otherwise. Dont forget the Mejos Syntac!

[@JS-mh9uu]

The "No Untamables" mod is about to make them breedable. Also tamable defence units.

[@BlackReshiram]

[@Archaten]

For the Tek Rep, you can get the blueprint from OSDs but you can’t actually use it till you beat a boss. Forest Titan is the easiest imo and can be done with just a mate pair of decent lvl Dreadnoughtus.

[@Arie420]

So the blueprint is kinda pointless then lol classic Wildcard

[@Archaten]

@@Arie420yep lol

[@Elcocheese]

I wonder if it’s just you can get the blueprint so you could crafting skill it to give it higher health or something. Honestly the only point I could see the blueprint being available for

[@noahandellagaming2323]

When u pick it up it never appears in your inventory

[@Miguel-Red]

​@@Arie420 it's not useless It's for people that been using the same character since The island (basically how you are suppose to be doing) But it's kinda impossible since every time you move to a new map with a character there's a 50/50 your character gets deleted 😂

[@chandlerharrison2143]

you can merge them in the tinkers bench do it you can make them so much stronger eventually as it's not always guaranteed to produce a quality one but you can merge them with eachother and eventually create a super one

[@emperortethysusdacertified8175]

Yeah, by doing this you can max 'em out at lvl 401 (80 points into each stat).

[@3Dthinker-]

I would totally be in favor of changing raw prime meat stack size to ~10. Its so annoying to get slot capped all the time with prime

[@Eeveelotl]

Agreed!

[@mantk1123]

Use the thinkering desk to improve the Enforcers bps instead of just craft them from wild Enforcers, it is actually incredible, I obtain lvl +300 with it

[@joshdinoking7887]

extinction has become a pacific rim simulator and i love it

[@waveclaw]

You need to tinker those 150 blueprints with some of the high level scout prints. Yes, it is a gamble in that you can end up with a useless scout print, but you can get a ridiculous enforcer blueprint out of the tinkering bench with just stable combine.

[@Skxzeii]

For the replicator bp you get from drops; I personally had a mod installed called automated ark, its a little bit of an early-mid game rebalance but it let me craft the replicator in it before unlocking it via titans. There is also a fridge in that mod that lets you keep corrupt nodules, organic polymer, etc. for longer and increases their spoil timers.

[@gabrielp1306]

Hey Syn, remember to get those Mejos!

[@lucielm]

He never showed us that he got them. So we need to see him farm up those Mejos! Make a full on crop plot for them! Farm them up!

[@pepperpotty]

I like that you still question what Jim's dinos are doing in the middle of nowhere like there is any other answer than "Because it's Jim".

[@Jyharri]

Nope, the Ascendant Enforcer was not worth it. The shattering glass of glass cannons vs. Corrupted Dinos

[@ShadowFox10587O]

The enforcer is an amazing travel mount I actually plan to bring one over to genesis part 1. That being said I always keep a rex or a few wolves in cryopods in case of emergency. I agree you should be able to use weapons on it's back.

[@King63Kobra]

You have an industrial grinder, so maybe it could worthwhile to making some soap with your leftover polymer so you can grind it back on command. The only thing is that it costs oil idk how much of that you've got to spare

[@Thromash]

Guard Dog Lives! SAVE HIM! He's all that's left. 😭

[@alext9550]

Combine 3 wild enforcer bps in the bench, the combined bp (unlike the wild dropped ones) can be craft skilled. You can then kill the resulting one for its bp. Do that 3x then combine *those* for another one that can be craft skilled. The max lvl for an enforcer is 401 and its pretty amazing at that level

[@matteobenfatti8436]

Hey buddy, make sure you get mejo berries for the crafting potion. Hope this helps

[@Balwick]

You can increase stack sizes via .ini these days, even Mutton etc though they require separate .ini lines. I have general resources set to 10x stack sizes, and mutton etc much higher. No risk of losing resources if a mod breaks, either.

[@briciusd.8478]

Stegos (A strong one with good gene traits for it) can solo forest titan. Go for it Syn!

[@alexciesielski1840]

At least enforcers are dropping blueprints now. I think syntac needs to start taming some of the big boys soon like the rex, carchar, giga, and dreadnought soon

[@arcjelly]

I've been running around for so long looking for carchas and gigas but man they are so rare. Considering the fact you need to kill a few wild carchas to tame one with the potion, that sounds impossible

[@BlackReshiram]

nanohs ascended saddles mod has some really cool ideas for saddles with a kill-mob drop system that also includes a variant for an enforcer saddle!

[@full8497]

You can also mount bones on Trophy- Wall Mounts instead of boxes, but you can't change the size. Most bones don't look good on it, but skulls show up really large.

[@Eeveelotl]

SYNTAC! Don't forget the Mejoberries!!

[@Tyras5]

For the enforcers, you can use the tinkering desk to try and upgrade the blueprints of them. It took me ages but got one all the way up to lvl276. its basicly the mutating them

[@bacd-nn2lg]

Best way to get Tek Replicator on this map is to tame high level pair of Argentavis, breed/mutate them to create an army that will kill Desert Titan. Ps. Don't forget to breed out an army of Carcharodontosaurus with vampiric traits for the orbital supply drops.

if its an bluprint of the tek replicator maybe try to put it into the therminal or fabricator hope it works idk lol

[@marianogarcia2709]

He built an enforcer….. it’s over.

[@northtechmusic]

Hey Syntac, you should combine some higher level enforcer blueprints all into one super enforcer blueprint in the tinkering bench. I’ve had some decent luck with the bench, getting some higher levels. Scouts unfortunately don’t work, but they still come out as ascendant which is pretty funny. The enforcers won’t show any stats on their blueprint if you combine them, but they still have levels like normal.

[@Bonedragon1300]

an an FYI, you can fuse enforcer blueprints in the tinkers bench, which can max out at a level 401 enforcer, with 80 points per stat

[@mynamejeff4883]

Don't forget to do what you already did Syntac. lol

[@Blake_Mills]

Enforcers need some kind of attachment system, or built in armor like shadowmanes. But I think like the blaster from tek saddles would be a cool attachment for them. I just use them for travel now. They are ridiculous fast at getting across map. Maybe they could slow down a bit with more attachments

[@skmtdn_00]

I love Enforcer and it's okay that it's not a crazy tame, but yeah, would definitely love to see more uses if you have a leveled ascendent one. Stats buffs, armors or abilities, they could all work I guess tbh there are too many dinos that become whatever mobs after some first encouters, but on the other hand I guess it's not easy to make all dinos so unique across all expansions

[@awcdino387]

What rates do you play on? Im not sure what i want to do to because i just realized that breeding something like gigas is gonna take literal irl days and weeks so I wanna know what is the average rates people use or what someone I watch uses.

[@grebrogy8525]

Can u use the tinker table on the enforcer blueprints ?

[@EnriqueOlivas-z2d]

I say they are pretty worth is when they have enough damage so they kill the coropted Dino’s faster before they can attack the enforcer ✅ There very good in my opinion

[@socalfrank2918]

Enforcers = glass cannon build

Hey the video was great! Really random question. Are you ever gonna tame a rhyniognatha on ark survival ascended?

[@jacobkrout1627]

hear me out, what you used the handheld dino finder to scan for microraptors? not to tame them, but to locate their exact spot when traveling through their territories.

[@BiggsB028]

You can use the tinkering desk to combine blueprints for Enforcers. Also uses your crafting skill.

[@royalcamogaming4058]

SYNTAC!!! GRAB MEJOS OH GOD I ALMOST FORGOT TO REMIND YOU!

[@brisecho1488]

I had an Enforcer from ASE that was an Ascendant one. After the Blueprint and crafting skill, it came out at over level 300. I think it just depends on the blueprint you get

[@yurygaming]

You can Craft an Tek Rep in an Artifact, when you access to pick up the engram is there

[@ryanjacob3338]

Yeah the enforcers are pretty good. You level it like crazy carefully and it can dominate in OSD's. Crazy weight and speed in the meantime for resource runs. Once you have fistbumped utility and endgame mounts like crazy obviously who cares. But this map is perfect to get one at the right time, so much dust and metal, you should have got it way earlier in progression. But I mean this map can be a tough start. You got a thyla levelled, argy, now they don't matter. But as your 1st OP creature, a 130 purple tier, cheaper, earlier, grind for it asap. 👌. I like to start in the city, get a decent raptor, farm all robots for mats, the right blueprint, and go for that. Only a lucky Rex and Argy start would be better. I'm glad to see the Ascendant don't seem to have any inherent bonuses. Thought they would at that price, but never risked it. Get a high purple early when applicable.

[@royalcamogaming4058]

i think you should name the enforcer the "Synforcer"

Jim did say in a previous episode he lost a dog he had following him. He had like 5 on follow and only 4 were with him.

[@freemanuavflights7718]

Enforcers should really have some augments to make them viable. One augment can be for armor/attacking, another argument could be for resource gathering and one for crafting and storage.

[@Syntac]

[@waveclaw]

You are going to have a lot of dead Jim dogs over time. Half the time the armadoggo will spawn on the ground instead of up on your base when you are on a ceiling or platform. Jimbob's base is above your base. So when he comes home a lot of the time the spikes at your base kill his dog.

[@GamingwithJael]

Pull-it and Dino Depot are the only two

Absolutely you should change the stack size. We have it up to 50 and it's so nice to not have a load of single pieces of meat in your inventory to sort through. plus, prime meat is so easy to get these days that it really isn't that OP to change the stack size.
