More about taming the VR Kaprosuchus
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the VR Kaprosuchus, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the VR Kaprosuchus at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Kaprosuchus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Tusoteuthis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Kaprosuchus sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The VR Kaprosuchus bleeds 0.3 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Kaprosuchus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 200 base Health, the VR Kaprosuchus is on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 350 base, providing good endurance. A base Weight of 140 means a reasonable inventory size.
To tame the VR Kaprosuchus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the VR Kaprosuchus is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. A wild VR Kaprosuchus is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.4 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
