For example, imagine a dino’s required torpor is 100 and your weapon does 80 torpor.
However, in some uncommon cases, stronger weapons can sometimes actually be too powerful for low level dinos with very low health (especially when taking into account a headshot multiplier). More advanced weapons will have a higher torpor:damage ratio, which will decrease the chance of death. Better Weapons Generally Reduce the Chance of Death
The health of a wild creature is randomly assigned, so it’s not always 100% possible to determine if you will kill a creature or not, however, Dododex’s “chance of death” feature will calculate the probability that your specific weapon will kill a creature at a specific level. Note that because weapons also inflict damage, it’s possible to sometimes kill the creature rather than knocking it out. Using Dododex’s Knock Out calculator, you’ll be able to calculate how many hits of each weapon are required. To knock out a dinosaur in ARK: Survival Evolved, you must hit it with an torpor-inflicting weapon, such as tranq arrows, tranq darts, a Pulmonoscorpius or even your fists.Įach dinosaur has a set torpor amount that must be filled out before it gets knocked out.
