Pizik 43 Posted March 27, 2019 You can't do any PvP with them. They are used only for SotD, animals etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barring that, though, yeah cannons are for SotD and elementals and puckle/swivel guns are for dealing with aggressive fauna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was only for PVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidori 143 Posted March 27, 2019 In the current version of the game yes, you can declare war on companies in PvE. I don't know if there are any plans to change that in 1.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if there are any plans to change that in 1.5 Really? I never heard about that. But the other company has to agree to the war right? It wouldn't make sense otherwise. By the way. If this isn't the case I think it would be a nice change that if two companies agree upon war they can fight each other on PvE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidori 143 Posted March 27, 2019 Yes, both companies have to agree, and the war lasts for the agreed upon amount of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

George Catcher 367 Posted March 28, 2019 Shoot them at sails and it should slow down the target ship. That's how they should work in real life. In atlas however I'm not sure if sails are takes different damage rules then other parts of ship. Also not sure if damaged sails slow ship down. And, of course, there is no sails in SotDs : )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flakbait 7 Posted April 6, 2019 We experimented with installing a swivel gun manned by an NPC to blast the daily alpha wolves and lions that would come by our base and never leave because they wanted to get at the dozens of our tames inside a giant multi-level pen/barn/storage/zoo/whatever building... We had it too low because the NPC would get one shot off, and the attacking animal would leap and knock the NPC off the gun, forcing it to fight with it's bare hands. We ended up not building a watchtower or two, because we noticed another problem. The NPCs, no matter what we set their behavior to, would shoot at anything/everything that came in range.... used up a ton of ammo, and all the dead birds, rabbits, and pissed off giraffes were really an eyesore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 246 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Yeh you need to set the wheel to specifics and the wheel is utterly useless. Like why can't you just set it to aggressive animals? Instead of ALL wild.. It's a stupid design from Ark, same problem there with autocannon etc. Better to set them up and use em manually. I used my puckle for shooting fish.. wasn't much fun. There is a plant turret in Ark that shoots stuff at a distance and you can load it with millions of shots worth.. it's pretty useful. Both in pve and to a degree in pvp.
