Knocking Out[]

Comparison to other heavy knockouting weapons

Creature Ballista Bolt Ballista Bolt Boulder Boulder Rocket Propelled GrenadeRocket Homing Missile (Scorched Earth) Rockets Cannon Ball Cannon Ball
Titanosaur Titanosaur N/A 70 400 1400 ( 725 on ARK Mobile )
Rock Elemental Rock Elemental N/A 300 360 1800
Karkinos Karkinos N/A 437.5 1250 11250

Notes[]

  • Titanosaur Titanosaur and Rock Elemental Rock Elemental can most effectively be knocked out by shooting Cannon Balls at their head. The Karkinos Karkinos, on the other hand, should be shot in the body.
  • The Cannon deals much more damage to structures than a Catapult Turret or Ballista Turret.
  • Damage vs Dino ~ 1800(just did it last night) per shot if you miss the part you need to hit
  • 450 if you hit the torpor marker(head/body), so be careful, you can EASILY kill a Rock Elemental by missing just a couple shots.
