There are few games deadlier, and more exciting, thanArk: Survival Evolved.
Because of these vast differences, players might need to prioritize which dinosaurs they choose to tame.
Rex
It’s difficult to start this list off with anything else but the apex predator of the dinosaurs.
Also, players can use Rex to cheese several different boss fights in Ark.
The only thing to consider when taming the Giganotosaurus is that it has a Rage meter.
If that meter overflows, then the dino will come after anything it sees, including you.
Still, that threat might be worth it to tame a dinosaur of the Giga’s nature.
Gacha
Moving away from strictly combat dinos, the Gacha is a must-have for players participating in PvE gameplay.
When the Gacha is fed certain resources, they produce crystals on their back.
These crystals can then be cracked and contain various resources that players can use for other purposes in Ark.
These resources can even be specified based on what players need at the current time.
PvE players should look to tame a Gacha as quickly as possible for this reason alone.
This allows it to target enemies that players might not be able to see themselves.
The Managarmr also has a boost ability that lets players travel at a blistering-fast pace across the map.
Most players will find more use out of the Managarmr as a mount, though.
Andrewsarchus
Who doesn’t love a dog-like dinosaur that’s equipped with a turret on its back?
Desmodus
The Desmodus arrived in Ark with the Andrewsarchus and features a similar amount of utility in combat.
However, the Desmodus might even be more useful for players.
Shadowmane
The Shadowmane is one of the most versatile mounts in all of Ark: Survival Evolved.
Quetzal
The final dinosaur on our list is the Quetzal.
That’s our list of the best dinosaurs to tame in Ark: Survival Evolved.
