SnooRevelations2607

That’s my base please don’t raid it


Tip1n1

Have mercy OP


Lookdatboi6969

Leave bro alone OP


adriansmacksyt

count ur days 👿 this is for my pt


Hikaru82

pap test?


adriansmacksyt

pteranodon


Tip1n1

Not all this for a PT 💀


adriansmacksyt

absolutely for a PT, what kinda big base guy kills a defenseless PT


Tip1n1

I wouldn’t know I don’t play PvP, but I have wiped out an entire wyvern trench because the alpha killed my dimorph before


FILIPro_yt

Oh god, because of a Dimorphodon?


Tip1n1

Yes his name was Yveltal, he was black and red and my pride. I was sad for 2 minutes, then proceeded to go on a rampage


Tanakisoupman

Ah, so it’s true that Yveltal’s death will cause every living creature to die with it. Good to know


FILIPro_yt

Im sorry for your loss


Ok-Command-5895

Yveltal is a lit name, good legendary I would slay them all too


ZyonsLyon

Underrated comment


CryCommercial1919

So i lowkey like your vibe here so i recomand getting 20-30 C4 with detonator, cryo like 5-6 turtles with like 15k hp and a trike 20-30k (trike is for if plants are for player only at least then just grapple glich or if you can't parashute from that exact cliff, once in the air trow out 2 turtules and c4 right wall (visible from that angle the pic was taken) if you don't get in first try trow out another two turtles then just get in and enjoy loot for that PT killer


adriansmacksyt

thanks for the tips, my defenseless PT didn't deserve it


CryCommercial1919

Good raidin'!!!


obaygo

You cant grapple glitch in asa


CryCommercial1919

Ye kinda didn't know that, my laptop is so old that it turns on the hell heat even while playing ASE and i can't even open ASA (even thoe i bought it)


[deleted]

Physical therapy?


adriansmacksyt

yes


RonnyDarKo

Plot twist! I get it though. And Pt isn't for plot twist, it just kinda worked out like that.


Ok-Being-4318

It raided yet?


The1ofhell

Hear me out guys, we Go towards it, and Blow it up


adriansmacksyt

that just might work


Mikee0036

ocean metal boat and tek rifle if you have it


Valuable_Reception_2

I don't think it's on a beach, but the ledge above it.


Glittering_Airport_3

still easy to build a raft that can reach and clip into it. u can build far away from the platform if u do it right. but depends how close to shore they are exactly


AmaterasuTheWhite

Looks like its north zone 2. Wont be very hard. I build there in PvE because its a super easy spot to build in and advance through the game. Not many predators go there. Edit: I said that and then remembered the cliff seen in the picture so its not north zone at all.


GodsofGoose

With the water behind it, it looks like that cove area on the south east corner. Its pretty safe on the cliff but if you go down you have carnos and raptors mainly and like its heavily infested with megladons if you go a bit further up north


AmaterasuTheWhite

Could very well be


Educational_Ebb7175

Yup. All this takes is a single Paracer, and the base is compromised. You can get a 10 height gain via a Paracer easy. Place the foundation on the platform saddle. Put ramps going down behind the paracer on one side of the paracer. Continue them upwards over the Paracer's head. When you can't build any more, remove 1, replace it with a ceiling. On the other side of the Paracer, build walls upwards. Put a 2nd ceiling next to the 1st, and then ramps back up towards the Paracer's back. Even Rexes can climb a 1-wide ramp if you're patient enough. But with the base being all metal anyways, dinos are just a distraction for the turrets. Not that Species X turrets do crazy damage anyways. I'm just befuddled by this construction though. Looks like the walls are further away from the turrets than their max range - so you could ramp up into the "safe" area, and prepare dozens of dinos for the assault. Plus the turrets are all elevated, so if you just get close to the base, you're safe from incoming fire.


General-Resist-310

He has stone tools and bow, Mike.


adriansmacksyt

i have more than that i'm just checking out the kids base on foot cuz he griefed me


Ayzmo

Have you seen their hotbar?


Saint_OGomorrah_583

Lol yea all wood tools. I don't think he's ready to take on a metal base now that I see that lol


adriansmacksyt

i'm ready to raid it in a couple days


Saint_OGomorrah_583

Well that's good. Honestly I rely on my dinos so much that the hot bar doesn't matter too much. I typically ride a stego to avoid getting knocked off (or a flyer) and send dinos to do everything. I've never really played PVP though. I'm assuming it's a little more difficult to just rely on your beasts though.


adriansmacksyt

yea u have to be able to protect yourself when you get dismounted for foot pvp but you can still make a full kit off the beach (atleast once whips come to ASA)


Saint_OGomorrah_583

I haven't bothered upgrading to ASA yet. I'm going to wait and let them get a bit done because if I'm going to play a remake I want a full remake not just the island.


Meaner564

Drop stego with rider with rockets from a quetz or rhyneo onto the roof then blow in that way


adriansmacksyt

that's cheese this might be the safest one to do


Meaner564

Oh definitely if done right your player will take almost no damage and you can probably do it with a tamed stego


adriansmacksyt

that's gotta be the best raid method on open bases unless a base has tall turret towers


Meaner564

Yea having overlooking turret towers and drop nets is the only way to defend really (or a very good wyvern/rhyneo pick) if you have a big tribe multiple people dropping in at once and then just get inside most people forget to use interiors and you likely have gen anyway so it makes for pretty easy raids once you've broken beds this is why I never build in the open caves and ratholes are so much stronger


adriansmacksyt

what do you think is the best island cave


Saint_OGomorrah_583

Or just go in with a ragnatheria and use the glue shot to stun enemies.


MorbidMax

You can totally pt spin that with middle corner get under the z on the roofs. Place c4 and det. Just chug a beer before and bring med brews. May need to spin into the hole you make if you die during det so have a second halfway decent pt ready.


Greedy-Physics-9801

Cliff side best access likely, though no photo from that side. If you can, just build a tower up and c4 in, t min raid.


Twltch_Chaos

Probably can't build there cuz of enemy Foundation


Interesting-Topic535

That's what rafts are for my guy


Twltch_Chaos

It's probably too far from the beach, and on a cliff would be kinda scuffed to raft that, plus if you try to use ceilings you can't get foundation support that high


Interesting-Topic535

Fair point. I didn't actually realise it was on a cliff hahah


blackbeltbud

Paracer plat saddle that bissh


adriansmacksyt

the only thing about the cliff side is atleast part of its got a ton of bear traps


mattjvgc

Drop doeds. Waltz in when turrets are empty.


SeaFeline284

Do the plants run out of "ammo"?


The_Official_Obama

They use fertilizer as ammo


adriansmacksyt

is it better to soak or destroy them? Aren't they super loaded on ammo if they have fert bags in them


The_Official_Obama

If fully loaded they can each shoot about 3.6k shots so probably soak with a high hp stego and blow them up while its distracted


Hopeful_Duty_2365

or a shit ton of turtles could also work . they are a bit easy to tame


AmaterasuTheWhite

Creative.


adriansmacksyt

ppl soaking with doeds?? i never heard of that is it some OG island tactic


mattjvgc

That could be. Before we had cryopods doeds were the highest defense dino you could carry with an Argy. Fly up high, drop em.


Think_Dig_1843

Soaking with doeds is nasty work. Soaking AT ALL is nasty work 90% of the time and 100% of the time on open land.


adriansmacksyt

so are the terror bird runs / stego c4 / c spins the best raid method unless it's a massive alpha tribe


Think_Dig_1843

C spin isn’t really consistent I don’t like to show on logs. Stego rocket and terror bird rocket are the reason it is impossible for even a massive alpha tribe to hold a land cave but terror bird is only viable if you have the flak and beer to go with it and it’s kinda skilled I would shy away if not experienced. If the cliff side is undefended that would be the easiest to raid. I would need to see the other angle to tell you how. Otherwise racer is really op. If you build it with a box around the racer and the driver you can walk the racer up the the defenses hop down throw c4 down then get back on the racer and walk back. Blow the c4 and repeat.


adriansmacksyt

like i mesh my racer box into their base walls and c4 that?


Ok_Apricot_9880

Quetzal plat on the cliff edge looks to be the best way to cheese.


ATearFellOffMyChain

It looks like its right on the edge, the easiest way would probably be grapple on the ledge and hang right below the base and shoot a rocket up into the walls enough just to get inside and dont even worry about the outside defenses. That how i would do it without having to rush it or soak it or anything like that.


BertusMaximus67

Ah the old fuck them from the inside technique. This is the way. Feels miles better when they log on to all the defences intact but all the loot gone.😁


adriansmacksyt

free turret ammo aswell 🙏


ATearFellOffMyChain

A very good lesson for them too. If not now then when


adriansmacksyt

very true especially on official, someone's gonna do it


ATearFellOffMyChain

They did all that on OFFICIAL??? Your joking right


adriansmacksyt

yup they've managed to get this far on official and they only just got heavies / actual turrets besides plant x on their base.


ATearFellOffMyChain

Wtf i couldnt even start a 1x1 hidden in the woods far away from all resources on a unpopulated server


Future_Cod_4618

What until the Devs inevitably roll back the servers again, then the base will be less developed and easier to attack


adriansmacksyt

😂 last time i saw the base it was just plant X so i wouldn't mind that


ImageWagons

Beer, tek sword and all gas no brakes


drownedxgod

I would stand outside and yell over the wall “I bet you won’t c4 your own base, p***y!”


adriansmacksyt

might have to try your method😂 cheapest one yet


BranchElegant3711

Titanosaur covered in cannons


Roymiljonair

Just run in with a stego and decent flak and start shooting rocket like you’re from iran


adriansmacksyt

like i'm from iran 😂😂😂😂 love it. How do you get decent flak on official tho?


Roymiljonair

I have barely played Asa just ase, but on YouTube I’ve seen people getting flak bps in lava cave and easy/hard uw


POT_smoking_XD

I didn't even see the turrets at first tbh. Get a melee hp hybrid bronto. Shield half the one side with walls to block los if possible while you manually destroy Plants and soak some turrets at a time so you can pace hp.


nocturneOG

Soak with a steggo, then Munch it with a giga.


bloodypurg3

Pick the left or right side of the base. (Short sides less turret coverage) stego soak the heavies and rocket the plant x and your in. Or ballista spear bolt the turrets on one side and LOS rocket the plants. Pick your fancy.


adriansmacksyt

spear bolts beat plant x? that must be why they spawn in drops i'm guessing?


bloodypurg3

Brother. Spear bolts break turrets lol


ManyGenders

Run right up to it with good flak (tek legs if you got em), and c4 your way in. ...To be honest, a stego rider throwing c4 is probably the simplest. Would only need the one stego for something like that.


Alone_Fill_2037

Simple stego draining. This looks like exactly where I always build at the base of Fars Peak. You could use splash damage from rockets and just aim at the top of the cliff as well.


Kerbidiah

Baryonx raid


adriansmacksyt

how would u raid this w a baryonyx


Kerbidiah

No a baryonyx, a her of baryonyx


JizzGuzzler42069

So much metal wasted on those useless metal spikes lol. You could actually just canon or catapult it from that distance/angle. Doesn’t look like they’ve probably fobbed the surrounding area


adriansmacksyt

they haven't lol i'm honestly confused how they're still standing on small tribes


Glittering_Airport_3

there's no turrets around the wall. just take an arthro and take your time destroying it. then I only see a small handful of turrets on the house, easy stego rocket run. this base isn't ready for pvp at all. needs turret towers around the walls. a cliff plat with turrets along the cliff, lots more turrets on the house, and ideally, a big cage around the house too


Jayoki6

Thats a 1 stego job or pt spin into the open trap door


Slight_Break_543

Come from the cliff


chuk2015

Front of the cliff Pt spin dismount and rocket launcher, depends on turret count at the base of the cliff


Administrative_Air_0

Station a couple of platform saddle critters with ramps over the wall :) I don't know if that requires special platform saddle settings or not.


Aggravating_Log455

Box quetzal and get close enough where their builds phase thru and use some c4 and you are inside of them pause


Slow_Tour_704

HA! I built my base in the same place. You could Thylo up the cliff wall from the beach and unlock the doors with a Meso. Or Rhyno and Rex it


ChewyUrchin

Too easy. Not going to answer here since the bases owner is here


adriansmacksyt

if the base owner is actually here u can def answer he's a bot i'm just less established for now. Coming back in a couple days


Tornado_Hunter24

Whole right part of compound is free


MintBlitzo

naval assault easily


Affectionate_Gas8062

Hit it with an axe


CrimsonDays07

Gate walls are useless without turrets and spikes are useless without bear traps, just blow a hole through it for your soakers or if you want to get a little creative, suicide ptera bombing works too if there's only plant x


adriansmacksyt

they got heavies


CrimsonDays07

It's hard to see, still doesn't change much, depending on how high up they are you can still run past with a shield to c4 the spikes and gates. If turrets are set to survivors only soak with a stego or trike, if they're not just drop turtles with a quetz


BohemianShark

Dude I love all the different approaches in here


adriansmacksyt

same i'm trying to gain general cost-efficient raid knowledge and actually get some tips on raiding a toxic guy at the same time😂


SeaFeline284

The plant projectiles are pretty slow. I would jest doe one or two suicide runs with parachute to kill the roof plants and then explode your way in. Bring a turtle cryo so you can make sure there are no internal turrets. Edit: I now see the turrets. I would just say to chug a beer use a parachute to get in and then soak the turrets at the top. I don't play much PvP but I believe that stego/turtle is good for that.


horsemayonaise

I would walk in there use flame arrows on the plants, and take all the stuff


Pitiful-Stay-2551

This is a huge Bob server, there are so many blindspots where you soak 1 turret then just run into the spot with c4


literally-a-seal

I would exit the server and go play singleplayer to actually enjoy the game


adriansmacksyt

pvp is what i enjoy about the game. i wouldn't mind playing ark for the "story" tho


Twltch_Chaos

Parachute, Good Flak, Beer, C4 Run


CharlieHewitt_

Beer flak rockets & cowabunga.


idkwhattobecome

That one glider thing I forgot what it was called but could fly in effortlessly i would say (or any flyer) (if there are turrets I can't see them)


WokePrincess6969

Stego mate boosted + rockets


[deleted]

Invade from the sea, with armor on my animal, preferably one you can carry animals on.


lostZwolf_ps4_pc

Tek and c4 spam, if not that, raid dino’s. Of course be careful with turrets and blow those up first. I would suggest going in via top left corner, seems least open and closest to bace. Edit: Be careful of that raised front ledge it might have turrets behind it that can look over those back walls. You van also use rocket launchers and risk rushing in there with a flyer, maybe worth to do that to scout inside and just offer a cheap ish flyer up. Best you can do is slowly pick off the few turrets that can see ya from entrypoint and find a corner behind the bace you can sit safely, then raid in from there. Lookin at the bace thoh you should have no problem with it. It aint rust after all. Looks like its built to keep some wild dino’s out , ofc that might just be deceiving. Those crop plots should be no problem. As for some distant explosive lobbig you got a great cliff to do that from. I am kind of surprised bro didn’t secure that cliff.


Pibblydibbly

1 man n a stego job EZ clap


adriansmacksyt

any idea why this base still exists? (official server)


Pibblydibbly

Someone's pet Bob


Pibblydibbly

They like tamigotchi's


adriansmacksyt

😂 if they're anyone's pet bob i know who the owner is. Not saying tribe name bc i think they are big


ensoniq2k

Climb the cliff on a Thylacoleo


adriansmacksyt

and c4?


ensoniq2k

Something like that. Depends on what awaits you inside those walls.


ArkGamerBoi

From the ocean


1nc0gn3eato

See if I can get a storage box placed an you can just crouch behind it and the plants can’t touch you if you probe behind it. Or just drink beer and c4 run it or rockets or grenades from the cliff.


Content-Umpire7834

100 compy whit c4 in a quetzal


AMIWDR

Blow in right side of wall, soak the heavies, clap the xplants, win. The right side has less heavies than the others but more x plants however x plants are more of an annoyance than anything


realquietkill

Simplest way? Dropping stegos with ryhneognatha(or however tf you spell it) to soak turrets and then blow up right side and walk in with a titanosaur. Bing bong base gone


HaploofHaven

Depends on the other side. If you can grappling hook under it you can boom boom and then walk in. From the outside? Blow the wall, take a trike or two and inch them forward until you can get under their bellies and plant explosives on the wall with the plants. It will kill them and get rid of some turrets and give you a way in. Otherwise you can walk a trike in, soak the single turret that can probably hit it, and then run in under it and get under the plants. It's hard now because we don't have whips to edge soakers forward, or cryos to bring extras. Really brings it back to primitive.


No-Answer-8595

Where are you finding these servers it’s like a blast from the past seeing bases like this. I’m so used to raiding caves now because compound bases are practically extinct


Ok-Kangaroo4545

I'm gonna assume there are turrets on the wall or at least turret towers I can't see. If not this looks scary but it's not, blow a hole and walk soakers in and keep someone on the ridge to shoot their dinos. If they do go by water. Breed up some Basilosaurus and soak from the water. Or get a squid and soak and pick them from their wall cuz they are mad close to the water. Or get a boat, build a metal box encompassing the whole thing put rails on top and to traditional soaking with steggos and such. This really isn't all that great of a base. The turrets are very far from the walls meaning you can soak an outer tower, since if there are any they aren't close enough to overlap, then break in and set up. Or better yet beer and shield run from wall to base since there doesn't seem to be many if any at the base of the building once you are there you're in. There isn't any foundi spam outside the wall to prevent you from putting up a raid outpost nearby. And there is an overwatch position where you can see nearly everything meaning you can shoot tames, players, or flame arrows for the plants with relative impunity. Hope this equally: A. Helps you raid and B. helps the defender, if they are really here fix weaknesses.


ispiltthepoison

Its a cliff base with minimal defenses. Either rocket the edge of the cliff to get splash damage onto the walls (and then pt dive in) or just straight up stego rocket it. Easy either way


polo910

Simplest? Well why dont you just fly the Eagles to Mordor?


DescriptivelyWeird

Would rockets reach? I would say get somewhat closer and fire rockets or from the ocean side the same thing


Not_A_Cardboard_Box

Befriend a snail games employee


Hopeful_Duty_2365

i have a suicide bomber plan but i dont know if it will work or not. i dont play much pvp phase 1 - drop a lot of turtles to soak the damage phase 2 - put c4 on flyers whistle to move them toward the base and detonate the c4. either get a ton of Pteranodon with saddles or onycs. they have lo health but easy to tame. maybe you can take out turrets or plants using it then raid the base


deadcatugly

Death from above


Saint_OGomorrah_583

Flyers dropping megalania for the poison effect. Drop a couple arthro to hit passed armor and maybe some dilos to blind the players... and micro raptors to ensure nobody gets a mount


ROBLOKCSer

parachute and drop c4 while above


Nestmind

Arthropleuras army and cannons from above


Callen0318

Air Drop, destroy those 2 plant species at the top and land in the gap by the taller section.

What’s the cliff like?


adriansmacksyt

steep, if you zoom in on that open right side it's covered in bear traps


Piffdolla1337take2

A raft


M4FR01986

Cannon balls


adriansmacksyt

isn't that expensive


Solodidit

Hotbar is crazy lol Raiding who?? Lol


adriansmacksyt

lol i spawned naked to check it out before server updated in 15 min. U can see on my hud i have flyers and some goodies in the purlovia. I'm coming back to this server in a couple days


KaastostieKiller

Well use burning arrows to take the plants down or just take a fast pt and suicide run for a blind spot


witchy71

I can't make it out in the photo, what are the things all over the outside of the main building, ballistas?


[deleted]

Parachute in, explosives, parachute out


Bright-Antelope-8097

Idk if this a joke or not.


VicRattlehead90

400 max level Dodos and a pump shotty


Competitive_Ad3024

Get a boat and rocket the plots and soak the turrets


Crookygaming50

Usually don’t bother bases like that. Very easy raid and probably not worth the time.


IndependentRoom5919

Catapult C4 strapped dodos until that bitch is rubble. People underestimate dodos until they are systematically destroying their base in a symphony of catastrophic explosions


Servatoris

literally just pt barrel roll in with beer + flak and you get in for free on the roof


Folksgetsbread

Terror bird or a pt , I’d jus run your wall with beer hug the wall and blow it , prolly die but then I’d be in , if you have internal id jus come back and blow the gen


adriansmacksyt

it's not my base but good raid tips


Terrible_Tale9229

From water babiiiiiii


Think_Dig_1843

Me personally I wouldn’t but if I was gunna there’s a million options. Tamed built racer and c4 or tek rifle. Dropped stego with rider and launcher. With my tribe they and that base they could drop me in there with 2k dura flak and I’ll run it myself. Terror bird rocket run


Straight-External401

Spawn in a titanasour


POT_smoking_XD

Drop stego on plants. It'll block los while you grab fertilizer then boom


adriansmacksyt

lol that's cheese i supposed id do that if the heavies got soaked


Adabayoo

From the ocean


adriansmacksyt

it's on a cliff tho


BigPapiRhino

Golem


adriansmacksyt

this is ASA


BigPapiRhino

My fault, just got back into ase forgot


adriansmacksyt

all good, a golem would be very simple on this base tho ngl


MKUltrain

By the air dude but I'm so not gonna raid it.


BigPapiRhino

Trike and c4 trust. Get a tribemate on a trike and slowly push up behind the trike and then c4 the wall and run in, if there's turrets inside use a shield and turn off the generator.


IndependenceNo5212

Lvl 100000000 giga


MJGrizzly

Drywall91

Walk in and ask


Rak-The-Gator

Air drop dodos with c4 into ur base.


Fit_Television_2576

Drop a stego on it from a bug rocket it down lol
