Questions: 1. 80% of tek turrets. To get a tek turrets u need a survive some time and have dinos powerful enough to farm bosses, but how to do it if u constantly raided after 3-5 day play. U cant breed dinos for bosses bcoze neightbors raid u and kill dinos and u cant block raids bcoze u cant kill bosses to get access to tek. 2. Still not understand why hatchframes. U place it low height, so u havnt any additional vision. Yes, they reliable, but not more reliable than ground, and at the same time a blind zone is formed under them. Dinos still can walk over them like over ground so I don't see how they are better than just the ground
It actually is possible to make an unraidable base, find a base spot that has a long tight entrance and put a ton of turrets so its impossible to run, have a teleporter to farm for more ammo if needed,have 8 peopld in tribe, dont sleep and be online with 60 gigas all the time
bait bases have saved me so many times, usually I spend more resources on bait bases than I real real bases, be sure to put a dodo loaded with chow and c4 between all the foundations, then there's the time waster bases where you make a super nice base then don't use it and leave everything empty
I'd combine ground turrets, with a wall of death.Alternating not only through the various turret types.But also what the turrets target. Furthermore I only build a base,where I can turn each approach into a corridor of death.
Try walking your tek stego into ky turrets...rip. oh and also don't forget to throw a man powered turret down as well. I've thwarted many of raid using a rocket turret....God tek stegos don't like rocket turrets....or rock golem lmfao. Some quick tips. Use a few bear traps spread them out don't waste resources spamming them in 1 spot. 1 rockets deletes them, use velos and small fast dinos that are easy to tame as base defense as well there usually fast hard to hit and distract raiders easily. Use a mix of heavy and tek turrets for best effect. Use a few plant species x. Build fence foundations in a box around crop plot to defend them better. Build spike walls further from your base and inside your inner base defense walls. Use living spike walls as well aka kentros, if someone tries soaking with tek stego go naked with 1 c4 and run up and start blowing that stego up. Use rockets poison grenades and tranqs against tek stegos highly effective especially the tranqs because they take full torpor from tranq even tho reduced damage. There's many many other tips but that's what ya get from me for now best of luck defending your base survivors.
@@xD3m0nx there is a better way now for plant x protection. Build one foundy and lower it with pillar then lower it again with foundy next to it then place crop plot on second foundy and then place foundation over the crop plant leveled with the first foundation then use stairs all around it on all four sides, that's the most protected x plant with the more range of fire for the plant x
My problem is that when people on my server have stegos with 186 armor saddles that reduce turret damage down to 6 per shot there's just no way to outlast that soak. I built a under water cave base and would harpoon the stego an knock them off but with a 100k hp stego that only takes 6 dmg per shot...there's no way.
I've made choke points in my Highland's base putting turret towers on either side making people jump up-and-over the waterfall to try to soak my. Main wall making it easier to flank them from my I turret tower beds with my giga kit next to my bed
Overall good beginner info. No seriously a lot of ppl need this. Only issue is plant x has to be armored. Teach, I’ve never seen this but doesn’t the spiderweb of hatch frames create LOS. I’m thinking someone could crawl under it.
Plant x doesn't necessarily need to be armored, it definitely can be and it will always help, however in a cave like oil cave you could easily put a couple in close to the wall. In a situation like that, the wall would need to be destroyed before you can drop them anyways. On top of that, realistically it doesn't matter how armored your plant x are if you don't have any other turrets
@@majikwizard5485 absolutely, and hey who am I to question a wizard. I would however like to know how many raids you been on and how big? All I’m saying is that you do you. With that said it’s all about time and slowing down a raid. Plant x is usually the first turret to be taken out and usually done with arrows. Not all of us have wizardy spells to protect our stuff.
@@stevieg6616 all I'm trying to say is in some raids if you place your plant x properly it can be difficult to destroy even without it being armored. And I've lost count of my raids over my 4000 hours in the game. It's cant hurt to Armour it, just sometimes not necessary
I'm kinda new to ark and I'm not into pvp but my server have pvp on every sunday, good video for defense... 1 more thing is how to powering them up with only normal generator? i mean where and how to place the generator
Some issues I see with this are 1. I do agree SOME ground turrets can benefit your defense but there is a reason you see so many people making turrents walls instead of this. Simply put ground turrets are very easy to avoid as a simple Pterdon with a decent saddle could barrel roll over them. They take up space and force you to minimize turret damage potential as for the small reward of extended defensive time but this will most likely backfire as any flying or wall climbing creature would have no problem grazing through . But I do agree that they are good for choke points and to help cause pressure and distance for your turrents walls 2. Regarding turrents settings, for heavys you always want to have them on medium or low distance for targeting as once they are all soaked by any player an easy rocket run would take everything down. I always have my Tek on high (player and tames) And most of my heavys on medium ( player only) as they will still shoot the tamed dino if it is blocking LOS of the player 3. The hatch frame spam you mentioned really would have a LOS problem. Not only that but you preach the idea of "destroying all hatch frames" when someone would just obviously destroy the turrents instead so this is just a extremely resource expensive way of having ground turrents. I don't think people realize how expensive giant hatch frames are to craft..
I liked this info. But I was wondering the uses of Spike walls, which I tend to have up to harvest hide from wild creatures around my bases. In fact I tend to put it down first as hide and meat and off meat is always useful. I just was wondering about how you would use them in combination with the things you showed here. I know rex and there like can walk over them, but I don't just have one I have them on different angles around the place, but in combi with turrets , just interested.
Good video but sadly no base is unraidable . Might be harder but ultimately the end results are basically the same . just time to completion . Now i use dimorphodons and allos to protect my turrents allos go for soakers and the dimorphodons go for the riders alone on flyers or ground . I use a leash so they cant pull them away .
This guy is very informative and knows and can teach anyone under 20k hrs anything.. that said.. at the highest level none if this works, we destroy everything that he or you will build and some of us can do it legitimately in 25 minutes full capped pro walls... Want to know how to survive for 11 days in ark? Don't sleep.
I just moved from Ark mobile to Ark console and I was impressed with the graphic, but this looks even better. What PC are you playing on, and could you recommend any gaming PC? Thanks for the video
Problem is no one is raiding your base unless they know they can. Most likely unless you are in a mega tribe there is always someone in your server that can.
I have a level 105 character from being a part of 99 tribe book boonkgang but that was years ago back now with my 105 character and one other guy. It's hard to get to turrets before wipe. But I can't bring myself to play pve smh. Ideas?
Are you calling him a PvP Bob? He might not be perfect at the game but he is one creative mf, and that is so much more important than anything. It's a lot harder to learn creativity than game mechanics, anyone can know tons about the game, not everyone can use those game mechanics in the way he does and it's insane some of the things he pulls off, even if it is just proof of concept.
the point is to add raid cost and delay, yes it does work very well, my 6k hours have proven that, setup alarms so you know when a raid starts and you always have time to log on and defend, before turrets limits was introduced it should take raiders close to an hour to offline you, giving ample time for counters as well@@James-zx4us
To tame? Definitely gen 2 The velos there are the r variant and that means they have more base melee then traditional velos but less base hp, I'm not sure how that translates to turret mode but definitely worth getting if you plan to ride them.
@@majikwizard5485 When it comes to velo turret mode it goes off of the base melee so even if you upgrade the melee its still whatever the base melee is. Or at least thats how it used to be
@@vxecni7951 if it's not mesh sealed it's raidable just hard sometimes and even meshed bases can be mesh raided if you know any spot that let's you in the mesh Edit: unless you mean unraidable without soaking then design plays a huge part and if it's a online raid.
@@vxecni7951 I wouldn't I've played ark for 6 years now and there is no mechanic thst hasn't been nerfed No dino too rough No health pool too tough And no turrets to snuff If its built on the map I can destroy it with a stego and a mech Or a turtle and an arthro With gen 2 now as well you can't even hide cos I'll bring me noglins and make you let me in No Seriously tho Nothing is unraidable Not even mesh locked bases With enough time and effort noone can escape
Thank you for this, im playing on your server and learning as i go. This defo helps me a noob pvper
Glad I could help
I keep swarms of microraptors around my base in bushes or if I’m in a cave, I keep them on the ceiling using cliff platforms.
Love your videos so much man. The way you explain things is perfect and so easy to understand. Stay great dude

I’ve been playing ark for years but never been brave enough for pvp until recently 🙈 This video is super helpful Thank you!
Tip nr1: no base in unraideable.. ends video

Hugely helpful, thank you! 👏🏽 I'll be trying out the hatchframe nest for sure.
You want 50-50 on Death wall and 65-35 on Chandelier. First number is tek and second is heavy’s
Why
@@bullseye608 because tek kill riders off soakers and tek kills soakers so it’s easier for tek to shoot the rider off if it higher up, hint a chandy
Definitely going to be trying the hatch frame one 👍
You should!
I suggest lowering the foundations
You should put small bear traps in the 1 by 1 hatch frame mess
bait bases have saved me so many times, usually I spend more resources on bait bases than I real real bases, be sure to put a dodo loaded with chow and c4 between all the foundations, then there's the time waster bases where you make a super nice base then don't use it and leave everything empty

Its for sure something that would need to be in combination. But, how I usually do the spider web is by sinking the foundations
