What it’s good at

Titan Killer

The Dreadnoughtus gains Titan Slayer buff whenever it is near a big creature, receiving up to +50% extra damage and damage resistance when a creature of 1000 Drag Weight or more is near, making it excellent for killing most of the Titans.

Level up: Health and Damage

Walking Mortar

The Dreadnoughtus is able to carry artillery on its back, making it helpful in ranged attacks on enemies or Titans.

Level up: Health, Weight and Damage

Hard Knockout Taming Tool

The Dreadnoughtus' Vomit Cannon attack is able to knock out Hard Head creatures (, , and ), with the plus that it increases the damage done by the cannons that it vomits based on its stat.

Level up: Damage

Cargo

Level up: Weight

OSD Crowd Control

A well-raised Dreadnoughtus with plenty of level-up points in melee, an average health pool of 100k, and a massive AOE attack that causes knockback, is an effective horde controller if positioned correctly at a choke point where it can almost bottleneck the corrupted horde coming from one route on its own.

Level up: Melee

With its already high stats stacked with many damage and damage resistance buffs listed, mutations for players who want to make their Dreadnoughtus deal even more damage and hold more health, and traits to increase its damage, one Dreadnoughtus with these buff, mutations, and traits, one can cut purple drop corrupted like butter.

Paired with Yutyrannus' set to auto courage and mammoths mounted on its platform saddle, a Dreadnoughtus' damage, and resistance can be boosted further on top of its Titan slayer buff and mate boost, making it a tough cookie even to purple OSD corrupted.

Paired with a Fasola, the Fasola can add 25% more damage once it gets enough bites in (10).

Paired with a Deinotherium herd, the male can add a 15% damage buff and females can add a 15% damage resistance buff

Paired with Carchars, a Dreadnoughtus can be good at softening the corrupted coming in so riders on Carchars can quickly gain momentum in their blood rage buff.

Paired with tesla coils set to volatile, a Dreadnoughtus and all surrounding allied dinos can deal 2.5x damage against corrupted.
