What it’s good at

Tank

With inherently high HP and base damage, Giganotosaurus is long lasting. Just as long as you watch its Rage, you will last with it. The Giga is not made to soak Turrets, but it is capable of tanking a small amount of them if it is imprinted and equipped with a decent saddle.

Siege Engine

As one of the few tameable land-based Dino capable of destroying Stone structures, it is logical to employ this beast upon your enemies. So long as it is kept calm, The Giganotosaurus can level months of work in mere minutes.

Meat farmer

The Giga is very arguably the best meat farmer in the game thanks its ability to kill almost everything with ease and high damage meaning it harvests far more meat than most creatures. Walking around slaughtering every wild dino around your base will allow you to fill your troughs and fridges in minutes.

Guardian

The Giga is a fantastic guardian against natural threats since it easily handles nearly everything that gets in its proximity. If you're likely to come under heavy attack by rival Survivors, however, it may be best to have your Giga guard one of the approaches to your base, some distance from the actual structures; that way, if the enemy induces a rage mode (assuming it's being ridden,) only they are punished if the rider can escape fast enough or even charge into the opposition to…

Taming Support Hunter

Very few creatures gather Raw Prime Meat and get it where it's needed faster. Just remember not to step on your tame, and consider putting your Giga on passive so it doesn't step on or accidentally eat the tame while trying to kill something else.

Rock Elemental Defence

The Giga is a great defence against a . The Giga negates the rock Elemental’s 90% damage reduction, making it an effective way to combat them. This strategy could be used as a defense on both PvE and PvP game modes. You could Use the Giga to defend your base against wild or tamed rock elementals. This method is much more effective than attempting to destroy the rock Elementals with explosives as it is a much safer option and is much less costly. Somehow it can bleed the…

Alpha Hunting

Considering the strength of a Giganotosaurus, it is no surprise that it can quite easily handle alpha Raptors and alpha Carnos in most cases regardless of the level of your Giganotosaurus and the alpha. However, a common question is whether the Giganotosaurus will fare well against an alpha Rex. In most all cases, a Giganotosaurus will defeat an alpha Rex so long as the alpha Rex level does not greatly exceed that of the Giganotosaurus. If in a fight with a high-level alpha Rex,…

Titan Killer

A horde of imprinted Gigas can take on the and even the thanks to their large health pool and insane damage output. If your Giga army is small (less than 8) then it's heavily advised to bring additional firepower. Neither of these titans can cause a Giga to auto-enrage. As a rider, make sure you are on something that can dodge their attacks such as a .

Turning on damage multipliers in a server can make a Giganotosaurus deal 3x as much damage to titans.

Battle Mount

The Giga is the mount with the highest damage output of all tameable creatures (except from the Titans) and therefore is a great weapon especially in PvP. If a player puts all of a Giga's level-up points into melee, the Giga can do astronomical damage, dwarfing the damage of a rex. The Carchadontosaurus however outclasses the Giga when fighting a great number of enemy creatures as each kill will increase his bloodrage, leading to even higer damage than those of a Giga. The Giga is…

Orbital Supply Drop Defender

Because its damage is one of the highest, a single Giga can guard relatively easy supply drops. It could be problematic since it can damage the supply drop with its own attacks in a PvP server but it won't on a PvE server. On the hard and legendary orbital supply drops, it is recommended to have several players on Gigas to block various routes where corrupted creatures move in to damage the orbital supply drop. A few players closer to the drop should be on…

Genesis Brute Hunter

Since Brute creatures of Genesis are similar to Alpha predators and given that the Giga has one of the highest health points and damage values in the game, a Giga can help a survivor track down and kill a brute creature during their respective missions. Imprinted Gigas can do most beta brute hunting missions without too much trouble but it's ill-advised to take them to alpha missions; most brute creatures can deal enough damage to make the Giga enrage with utmost haste and…

Fish Meat Collector; Due to its large size, it can stand in fairly deep water while still being able to walk. Using this you can easily kill groups of s and s.

Transport

; While not recommended due to low stamina levels and high stamina consumption, in a situation of guarding transports, nothing is better then a Giga. Being able to quickly kill off aggressive wildlife, players(depends on the players), and even destroy road blocks up to stone tier, it’s perfect for supporting a long trip. It can even carry some of your items if you wish.
