The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Dire Bear at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the R-Dire Bear at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the R-Dire Bear unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.9 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.

Found throughout the ARKs, the R-Dire Bear is a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

Health-wise, the R-Dire Bear sits at 400 base, making it moderately tough. With 100% base Melee Damage, the R-Dire Bear has solid damage output. Its base Stamina of 500 gives it solid stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 650, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

After taming, the R-Dire Bear has the carrying capacity to serve as a reliable transport mount for heavy loads. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild R-Dire Bear is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
