Reply to this comment with any tips for the Tropeognathus! Let's make it easy for new friends to find the gems. I learned a few cool things from you guys already like how drafting always works behind enemy flyers. Mannnn disappointed there were a few technical errors that happened with this video :( Not sure what happened with the render...
the drafting happens when youre near flyers cuz the trop (thats what im calling it) benefitz from flyers flapping their wings i guess which make them faster than most flyers also you didnt try trop against crystal wyvern cuz those things i think are way faster than normal wyvern
Works on anything larger than a duck. Pteranadons and larger will allow you to use the slipstream boost. You can see the effect behind flyers. You do not have to be directly behind them, they just need to be in front of you, roughly on your screen. Seems to also work over canyons, like in the video, he was flying over a canyon and I get it over the entire wyvern scar on Ragnarok even if no wyverns are in the section I'm passing. It is fantastic for kiting female wyverns into traps for milkmaid servicing. You are sometimes too fast and have to go get their attention again (grenades come handy in this).
Fr console got shafted this update The tropeo does spawn In tapy spawns but has spawn rates close to a unicorn Yay ... in my 4 years of ark I've only ever found 2 unicorns Guess we have to just wait 2 months till it's been nerfed to holy hell
@@xblsplodin960 they won't nerf it, it's movement is all it has going for it, the grenades are pretty meh, sucks for us console players, just gonna mcspawn one in. the one thing they hopefully change with the console release is the sounds, the thing looks intimidating but it sounds like a tapejar, just hope they do that
Pteranodon: I can't believe that smelly fish-eating dork gets to be the fastest out of all creatures! Griffin: Same... Tropeo: Ha Ha! Human technology make me go ZOOOOOOOM!
"Drafting" is a technique where wind resistance is lessened or eliminated. It is likely the drafting icon comes up when you are traveling in the direction of the wind speed or behind another trop
I love how he was shocked tht he could dmg every structure with the grenade attack even tho grenades can dmg every structure normally and ur using grenades....
Have yet to use this new dino, but my guess is that the drafting works similarly in real life, basically, if you're flying behind something, you fly with less resistance thus faster, drafting are used in different races.
Quick tip drafting will always work behind a flying Dino, I did some testing, and when you fly behind one you will get the draft, this can be seen in the video as well during the speed comparison, on the pterodon
I found a high level one of these on fjordur and got excited when I knocked it out super fast and then was very quickly disappointed when I realized it’s NOT a knock out tame.. 🤦♀️ I had never heard of them despite watching hundreds of hours of ark content for over a year.. oh well, I left defeated lol
the melee attack is boosted by the saddle but the ranged attack isnt. the armor stays at 25 even if the saddle is ascendant the dino has a unique ability to destroy flak easily with its bite, despite its low damage i feel it will be used for picking up players and eating their flak while they struggle to escape (hence the escape mechanic) I suggest you test this dino against enemies that have flak, in addition to armored/saddled dinos to test the armor penetration aspect of the melee bite.
I realize this is an old vid but as someone who just started using it and with ASA possibly drawing new attention, picking up players with the Tropeo is actually VERY useful, as it shreds armor extremely quickly. (Which is why it's balanced with the escape function.) It shreds so well in fact that you can use the Tropeo as a portable Industrial Grinder. Not as effectively, but it's an option for on the go trap making or inventory junk clearing. As for the drafting, I'm not 100% but I believe it works similarly to the wind turbines in that it's wind strength based, so certain areas are much more optimal that others.
He actually missed some things. He chews up armor pretty well and makes it lose durability real quick and also it can be used as an industrial grinder.
My fuse on the drafting is it works on places with usually up draft so beaches, and canyons. The other part of it is the drafting is also available when in a slip stream. So if say a wayvern is flying if you draft somewhere behind it you get extra speed.
The "Draft" ability comes from other flying dinos. If you're flying behind something like a ptera or an argy you'll see it come into play more often, so about 100% of the time you'll just want to hold that jump button, which basically fits into the role that it was supposed to be. It's inconsistent, but some tiny flyers like the jug bugs also make draft - but something like vultures won't make draft.
Drafting is for A. Catching up to other dinos by using their slipstream to move more quickly and B.can be used when above hot areas because little known fact when air is heated it becomes more kinetically charged which means the molecules are moving quite quickly this lowers the effect of vanderwaals forces on the air making it lighter and pushing it up toward the atmosphere which then cools it creating an updraft many gliding birds use this concept to stay in the air longer using the updrafts created when hard ground like concrete is heated in hot places or on hot days knowing this makes the drafting ability more reliable
Drafting is typically when you follow behind someone else so you don’t take the primary wind resistance, they do and you can utilize that to gain speed over them. People should try that utilization of that and see if it works
Does anyone know how to turn off the jet on console besides dismounting or removing the gas from its inventory? I’ve tried like every button combination.
I love to use the new boost as cruise control, I'll set him boosting in the direction I want then open my inventory and he just keeps going. So nice for long distance travel 😎
Yes cover other dinos if you can! These videos definitely helped me, and with so many dinos in the game it would be able to see all their abilities through this format rather than reading a wiki
So I've looked all over to try and figure this out, and couldn't find anything to help me so I'll just ask here. Why can't I ride a Moschops on the Ps4? I don't have the no riding dinos option checked, so I should be able to ride them.
This will be great if you're trying to clear bob bases off server. I wonder if you can hit players while they're riding things like gigas with the grenades. If you can shred armor with grenades then this will be a huge game changer
Main problem with a tropeogaphas is that for some reason there's a glitch where it makes the crossair go off to the side. Don't understand why but it makes aiming really difficult cause you can't tell if your shot will hit or not

@@Jack_Birch it ain't out yet, but the tropeo is a rare spawn on th vanilla maps, or so i have heard
Does it grind items in its inventory? Does melee affect its resource rate as a grinder?

When you’re using the tropeo (tropeognathus) use the grenade launcher to lob tek grenades or tranq grenades at enemies
Best Dino to get Wyv eggs
Ark day 1: running on the beach punching chickens
Ark day 479: Flying on a giant jet chicken with a grenade launcher
My server just hit day 450 and that couldn't be more true 😂
Jet Chicken 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ac-130 above
Implies people aren't still punching chickens in day 450 🤔
@zeru ishtar if they are they’re either losers or fresh starters .
the drafting is in the airstreams of dinos! so its basically for speeding up when chasing other tropeos
or catching up to that bob on his level 20 ptera and blowing him to the next universe
OR make a formation with your friends who are also riding some tropeo and wreck enemy bases, trust me
@@belindawang2350 I actually thought about doing this with some friends

Fr console got shafted this update
The tropeo does spawn
In tapy spawns but has spawn rates close to a unicorn
Yay ... in my 4 years of ark I've only ever found 2 unicorns
Guess we have to just wait 2 months till it's been nerfed to holy hell

I wish it came out sooner for us console players
Also remember when ark used to release a couple new Dino’s at a time. Now we rarely get real world Dino’s
Ye
Tropeoganthus was a real dinosaur but ook
Arlen Nemeth not a single dinosaur is real from all the past 3 dlcs genesis,extinction and aberration. And all of them are more than 20$ to get.
I mean it’s just a bird with a jet pack
bro THIS Im Tired of those stupid weird creatures this was a dinosaur game back in 2015-2017 tf has it become now
Pteranodon: I can't believe that smelly fish-eating dork gets to be the fastest out of all creatures!
Griffin: Same...
Tropeo: Ha Ha! Human technology make me go ZOOOOOOOM!
Ha ha! Cannon goes: B O O M!
God I love this comment and the replies lol
Bloodstalker: haha webs go fwooosh
@Jackson Boswell he showed the snow owl and mana and rockdrake are technically not fliers and he said its the fastest flier
We gotta appreciate how fast it is,because they'll probably nerf it like they did with Managarmr
Welp the GTA oppressor situation is about to start on ark
I dont think itll be as bad
Came here to make this comment
Hopefully it's not as bad but you never know. Wildcard seems to listen to the community though so if it was too OP, they would probably change
Ha wildcard is nice
It won’t
And yes please go back over older dinos I still struggle figuring out what some do
Maybe I'll experiment. If this video does well
@@ThickFreedom As someone who's only coming back to ark now, I'd love to see some videos revisiting old dinos.
I can’t figure out how to dive on the bloodstalker on Xbox.
Wow, this seems like a creature that would be in a mod.
There is mod with that creature, but with a diferent model
It's a real ark creature u can spawn in it on console with commands
It was/ is
crystal island was a mod but where made official by wild card

1:29 Nice jojo reference
I was looking for someone else who got it, hello my fellow man of culture!
JoJo is good
" he just does what he wants, devil may care" - Speedwagon
I love how he was shocked tht he could dmg every structure with the grenade attack even tho grenades can dmg every structure normally and ur using grenades....
Love how you don't have to hold W with the jet active. Makes getting across the map so much nicer
the moment i opened youtube i saw this and its epic
Mega epic
JoJo S1WA hell yeah
It’s a lot bigger than I thought it was. Can’t wait for it to come to console!
Have yet to use this new dino, but my guess is that the drafting works similarly in real life, basically, if you're flying behind something, you fly with less resistance thus faster, drafting are used in different races.
Yeah. In water, it’s called a slipstream
Yes please cover older dinos! It would be awesome if you included the historical meta and the current meta for each dino as well 👍🏻
Thanks for chiming in brother
Literally waited all day for this video to come out! Thank you so much for explaining how the Tropeognathus works!
Squad camping out! Tried to grind this out as fast as possible
Yo that jet powered flying in the intro sequence was low key awesome
11:39 now I’m confused should I or should I not dump my points into melee..🤷🏿♂️🤣
Whoops! DON'T dump points into melee! Was working on this video all day so I was tired
haha, i literally scrolled through comments to see if anyone mentioned it... doh :D
That thing is actually the opposite of one of ARK’s main problems.
The Tropeo is undersized.
NutNinjaGoesBananas ERC how much bigger should it be?
It’s pretty oversized, it was actually about 8 feet long
Nvm I was thinking of Hatzegopteryx
The draft icon pops up when your around other fliers u kinda using the wind they are creating to boost yourself
you forgot to mention he is also a grinder
Thats a lot cheaper than an actual Grinder
Quick tip drafting will always work behind a flying Dino, I did some testing, and when you fly behind one you will get the draft, this can be seen in the video as well during the speed comparison, on the pterodon
Good advice thanks for sharing.
ThickFreedom oh my cant believe you saw this no problem

I love this its a f22 raptor
Anyone agree look at it !
Finally! Someone who covers EVERYTHING there is to know about the Tropeognathus!
He actually missed some things. He chews up armor pretty well and makes it lose durability real quick and also it can be used as an industrial grinder.
So glad Ark is free on Epic Games, I wasn't planning on buying it for PC
I heard your amazing delivery of the intro and immediately subbed lol

ur vids r so well edited i would think u had at least 1-2 mil subs

funfact: this guy has another name: ornithocheirus. For some reason, scientist argued about this guy's name.
I love this channel, still dont know why it has only 288k subscribers...
Saddles do effect damage but only on Dino's, structure damage is fixed
How does it compare against a mana or bogspider?
Damage metal doesnt suprise me they clearly wantsd make this some sort of bomber jet
Drafting is typically when you follow behind someone else so you don’t take the primary wind resistance, they do and you can utilize that to gain speed over them. People should try that utilization of that and see if it works

Gotta love the tropeo
i love this guys voice. subbed.
The best guide out there
I know this doesn't count as a flyer but managarmr still has multiple boosters on its feet. Howerver, great video.
What about vs a mana dive?
Please cover older Dino’s! Love these videos
Does weight slow it down
I would have liked to know, which maps and areas you can find them in too though. But very nice video. I always love when these vids come out
But for real tho are you using a texture mod or some awesome depth of field cuz this gameplay looks nice!
11:41 dump your points into melee, you mean hp right?
yep
I love to use the new boost as cruise control, I'll set him boosting in the direction I want then open my inventory and he just keeps going. So nice for long distance travel 😎
What setup are you using!? It runs so smooth!
I think in if you are behind a flyer it gets the drafting ability and I think it might Am also say in the dossier. Nice vid btw
The drafting is based on if there are flyers in front of you, basically, if there is a flyer in front of you or on the screen you can draft
this epic music, perfect for the tropeognathus
This may not be a fair comparison, but I'm guessing a managarmr's jet boost is faster than tropeo?
I love frag and I am not even sponsored so seeing it qs a sponser makes me happy
Bruh What Kind Of PC Do U have Bc Ur Graphics are hella Good
Yeah! You should totally cover older dinos!
Did you test to see if its grenade attack can kill players off dinos specifically when players are riding gigas?
How do you deactivate the jet booster. I can't stop flying unless I jump off.
NEW VID YAY!!!!
You said it right well done
Looks like I'm getting one of them tonight 🙂
If you fly around in circles with someone grabbed, they can’t escape
2:00 for the video 🤦♀️
Did anyone see around 8:20 - 8:30 that someone was fighting a car I in the background
Can the flak cannon be used to tame a titanosaur? Not found anything saying yes or no.
No one is talking about him ignoring that picking a player makes the trop start grinding through there armor it’s very useful actually
8:24 is a guy being attacked by a carno?
That thing made me never wanting to play ark again. This game has become something it was never supposed to be
Ikr I quit ark a long time ago I see this thing ruining the game
It was always supposed to turn into high tech stuff game
dude stfu that dino is not op and not so wtf he is juste very good, every time dev do something there is alway some ppl to cry over that
naturne كوكب زحل lmao clearly you haven’t really played ark
I miss seeing the updates of realistic dinosaurs, Not space whales and stupid things. This Dinosaur isnt as bad as it could of been though.
Yes cover other dinos if you can! These videos definitely helped me, and with so many dinos in the game it would be able to see all their abilities through this format rather than reading a wiki
Ark then : my t.rex is strong it can kill almost any dinosaur
Ark now : haha flying bird wearing jetpack go super saiyan mode
You could do a whole "revisited series "!
tropeognathus is very good at PVP
Does higher quality grenades increase the damage of projectiles and can other grenades be loaded?
U can jet while carrying creatures as well
Are you going to talk about the new wyerns
How do I land after I activate jet mode? Or how do I turn it off because the only way I can land is by dismounting (Console controls)
Yes cover older dinos too
wassup have a nice day
Was tropical crystal Wyvern holding shift and water boosted?
Fun tame, playing on an unofficial cluster with flying speed skillup unlocked, 200% speed is awesome. Gonna push my next one to 250 maybe even 300
