What it’s good at

Endgame Battle Mount

With its killing blow mechanics granting it building damage output, health regeneration, and speed that can reach ludicrous proportions, the Carcharodontosaurus is a god of war and death among its peers. While its large size and heavy drag weight can exclude it from some encounters, when it isn't prohibited from joining, the Carcha can easily establish dominance in most frays. Whether it's world bossing, PvE events, or tribal warfare, when determining whether you should…

Overworld Menace

Outside of special encounters, events, tribal warfare, or anything of the sort; the Carcha is an absolute powerhouse that renders most wild threats inconsequential, and as it is incapable of turning on you out of anger like a Giga: a Carcha as your guardian can give you plenty of peace and security. It is easily capable of defending against, or hunting down and killing problematic threats to your way of life; such as , , , , and so on. If raised from an egg, sufficiently…

World Boss Support

While too big and heavy to be teleported into traditional Boss Arenas, the Carcharodontosaurus can be a great mount choice against the open-world bosses of certain maps like Extinction and Fjordur, provided the battles offer fodder kills for them to gain Bloodrage stacks while dealing with the boss. They are still support however, as a single mated pair of Carchas work best in this role; used alongside a more numerous pack of Giganotosaurus and other bossing support tames.…

Orbital Supply Drop Defender

Arguably, the Carcharodontosaurus is the best creature to use to defend the higher tiers of on Extinction. Firstly, its great mobility allows for it to be easily piloted across the rough wasteland terrain, in an activity where mobility and positioning are just as if not more important than actual damage output. Secondly, its tail whip attack functions as an excellent spacer that helps to stall creatures from reaching the OSD. Lastly, the sheer numbers of attacking…

Hexagon Point Farmer

Similar to OSD's on Extinction, the high damage of a fully Bloodraged Carchardontosaurus, when paired with its movement speed buff, make it an excellent choice for farming hexagon points on Genesis 2; far exceeding the mission completion times of highly mutated Giganotosaurus.

Tek Cave Completionist

While Gigas were once the top pick for dealing with the long slog through the Tek Cave on The Island, the Carcharodontosaurus has now supplanted them as the best choice. Slightly smaller and more maneuverable than the Giga, the Carcha has less difficulty in navigating the turns and tight corners of the magma tunnels, and is perfectly adapted for dealing with the horde of aggressive creatures guarding the way to the teleport that leads to the and their Arena. While the…

Wild Ambush

Uniquely this is a role that only a wild Carcha can perform. Similar to luring a wild Giganotosaurus to an enemy base; during the taming process for the Carchardontosaurus, survivors will gain the ability to ride it temporarily. In this state, the Carcharodontosaurus retains its wild stats. This includes its great attacking power and monstrous 70,000 health. In a PvP setting, clever survivors can make use of this time to attack enemy tribes with it. However, eventually one of two…
