How To Pick Up Dinos In Ark Ps4

Becoming a Dino-Napping Ninja on Ark PS4

So, you want to be a dino-wrangling wizard on Ark: Survival Evolved for the PS4? Excellent choice! It's not as complicated as summoning a Giganotosaurus (thank goodness!), but it does require a little finesse.

The Tiny Terror Taming Method

First, we're talking about the little guys. You know, the Compsognathus that look like miniature chickens or the Dodos waddling around like clueless tourists. These guys are so easy, it's almost embarrassing.

Just walk right up to them! Okay, maybe crouch a little so they don't get spooked. Then, BAM! Press that square button like you're claiming the last slice of pizza.

Congratulations, you've just acquired a pocket-sized pet. Enjoy your new feathery (or scaly) friend!

The Argy-Grab: Aviation Edition

Now for the more adventurous souls, let's talk about airborne abduction using the magnificent Argentavis. These giant birds are like the helicopters of the prehistoric world. This is where the real fun begins!

Make sure you've got an Argy first. It takes a bit of effort to tame one of these magnificent birds. Once you've got your trusty feathery steed, equip its saddle.

Fly toward your target. A Castoroides (beaver) creating a dam or a pesky Doedicurus rolling around. Get close, but not *too* close!

Use the right trigger to activate the grab. You'll see the dino get sucked up into the Argy's talons like a prize from a claw machine. Fly it back to your base, drop it in a pen, and *voila*! You've got a new project.

The Karkinos Krush: Crustacean Conveyance

Feeling crabby? Good! Because we're talking about the Karkinos, a colossal crab with a penchant for picking things up (and smashing them, if we're being honest).

This is more advanced than the Argy. But the payoff is huge. Imagine strolling around with a Triceratops dangling from your claw like a keychain!

The Karkinos uses its giant claws to grab dinos. You will be looking at the target when pressing the right trigger. Aim carefully to avoid accidentally grabbing a boulder.

"With great power comes great responsibility…and the potential to accidentally yeet your friend's prized Stego into the ocean." - A wise Ark player

Once you've got your dino in a claw, you can carry it wherever you like. Just be mindful of the Karkinos's stamina. You don't want to drop your precious cargo halfway across the map.

The Unexpected Joys (and Hilarious Fails)

Picking up dinos in Ark isn't just about practicality. It's about the sheer absurdity of it all. It's about the joy of seeing a tiny Compy strutting around your base like it owns the place.

And let's be honest, it's also about the hilarious fails. Like the time you accidentally picked up your tribemate instead of the Iguanodon you were aiming for. Or when you dropped your newly acquired Ankylosaurus into a pit of lava. Ah, the memories!

So go out there, embrace the chaos, and become a master dino-napper on the PS4. The world of Ark awaits!
