How You Get One

method, in order
Passive Passive with a twist: drop food on the ground for it, then pet it while it eats.

Quirks

  • To tame an Armadoggo, drop food on the ground near it to attract its attention. Once it begins eating, pet it. Repeat this process until it is fully tamed.

Torpor

  • This creature is torpor-immune to conventional tranquilisers. Darts, arrows and Narcotics will not drop it, so the torpor figures elsewhere on this page describe its stat, not a route to taming it.

Holding it still

Built trapNo bola-type item holds this one — build a trap instead: stone or metal dinosaur gateways in a box or semicircle, lure it in, close the last gate behind it.

Nothing throwable immobilizes a Armadoggo.

Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.

Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.

Tame Guide

traps, methods & egg runs

To tame an Armadoggo, drop the food that you want to use from your inventory to the floor near the Armadoggo. It will start to smell around it until it goes towards the dropped food, then the Armadoggo will start to eat it, and after it's done, the player needs to pet it quickly before it buries itself into the ground and appears somewhere else near. Repeat this process until the taming is complete.

  • Bite

    The Armadoggo bites the target.

    5 stamina · 0.67s cooldown
Passive
  • Pack Boost

    The Armadoggo receives the Pack Boost whenever it is near another allied Armadoggo. A "pack" of two dogs will receive a +1 Bonus, which will go up to +6 in a Group of 7 or more dogs. They receive +10% extra Melee Damage and +5.5% damage resistance per extra pack member up to 6 members.

  • Pack Leader

    The Pack Leader buff is obtained by the creature of the pack with the highest level. In the case of Armadoggo, there is one alpha for every 7 dogs. This buff increases the pack leader's Melee Damage by 25% and damage resistance by 12.5%.

Passive

The Armadoggo can be set to companion mode using the radial menu. When activated, the companion player gets a multitude of benefits, including an Armadoggo Whistle to allow for remote issuing of commands.

While in this mode the Armadoggo cannot die, instead whenever it got killed it will respawn near the player after an hour. Also the Armadoggo gains a percent of the player's experience.

Using the radial wheel of either the Armadoggo directly or via the Armadoggo Whistle, the Armadoggo can be ordered to perform various commands:

# Follow Player [Heel Distance]: Armadoggo will follow the player as if under the normal whistling command.

# Set Wander [Close Distance]: Armadoggo will wander close to the player without being under a normal whistling command.

# Set Wander [Medium Distance]: Armadoggo will wander close the player without being under a normal whistling command, but at a farther distance.

Enabling Companion Mode on Armadoggo gives the player an Armadoggo Whistle, which will disappear when Companion Mode is disabled.

Using the Armadoggo Whistle will perform the default action. Holding down the Use button on the item in inventory or the hotbar button (when assigned) will bring up the Armadoggo's action UI.

If the Armadoggo in Companion Mode is killed, it will bury itself instead, reappearing again after an hour at full health. The items inside its inventory will be dropped as a bag after it buries itself, unless it has a Companion Rucksack equipped.

If an Armadoggo in Companion Mode kills a wild carnivore or corrupt creature, it can randomly obtain a Hex-Infected Junk map from it. This map works similar to a common Treasure Map, but the buried treasure can only be unearthed by an Armadoggo in Companion Mode after it is in range of the maps designated location. The loot gives a random Equipment Trait.

The Armadoggo has a Gear slot inside its inventory, whenever it has equipped an Armadoggo Armor this slot can be used. These are all its equippable options:

• Companion Bait Trap: Distracts hostile creatures by luring them towards the Armadoggo on activation. 60 seconds of cooldown.

• Companion Battle-Spikes: Increases the Armadoggo's Melee Damage dealt by and returns the damage taken by 25%. Consumes Durability every time the Armadoggo receives damage.

• Companion Camping Gear: Constantly provides 281 20px hypothermic protection to the player and allows the deployment of a Hide Sleeping Bag after the player dies. 120 seconds of cooldown.

• Companion Oxygen Tank: Provides Oxygen to both the player and the Armadoggo whenever they need it. Consumes Durability whenever it restores oxygen.

• Companion Speed Booster: Increases the player's Movement Speed for 10 seconds. Needs Activation. It has 120 seconds of cooldown.

• Companion Medpack: Drastically increases player's Health on activation or whenevert the player has low health. 120 seconds of cooldown.

• Companion Spykit: Allows the player to see from the distance the Health and Torpidity of the targets that he is looking by holding the secondary button () on activation (Similar to the Magnifying Glass).

• Companion Picnic Set: Constantly provides 281 20px hyperthermic protection to the player and allows remote use of supplies to restore player's Food and Water stats on activation.

• Companion Extra Armor: Adds 25 extra Armor. Consumes Durability every time the Armadoggo receives damage.

• Companion Chibi-Carrier: Allows the Armadoggo to carry a Chibi, which also gains experience whenever the player kills an Alpha.

• Companion Rucksack: Increases the Armadoggo's Weight stat by 25% and allows it to keep its inventory if it bury itself to recover health. Consumes 20 Durability each time the Armadoggo bury itself to rest.

• Companion Ammo Box: Allows the player to use the ammo stored into the Armadoggo's inventory. Consumes durability with each weapon recharge.

All gear equipments seems to give 25 Armor to the Armadoggo on top of those from the Armadoggo Armor, the armor value scales with the gear quality with the exceptions of Companion Spykit and Companion Chibi-Carrier as these lack of quality tiers.
