Overview
The Sabertooth is a carnivore with a compact build ideal for ambushes and close-quarters combat. It excels at quickly taking down smaller creatures and can be used to defend bases or assist in hunting. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It is commonly tamed for its high melee damage and utility in player defense and raiding scenarios.

More about taming the Sabertooth
Sabertooth must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then sedate it with Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Tranquilizer Darts from a Longneck Rifle. The best food is Regular Kibble, with Raw Mutton also working well. About 7 units of Regular Kibble are needed. The tame takes around 22 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
