Overview
The X-Sabertooth is a rare carnivore variant found in snow biomes. It is a knock-out tameable creature that can be carried by larger flying and aquatic creatures for fast deployment. It is used primarily for its increased melee damage and utility in taking down structures. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
The X-Sabertooth has a 5% increase in melee damage compared to the standard Sabertooth, making it a more aggressive predator in combat scenarios.

More about taming the X-Sabertooth
Taming the X-Sabertooth requires a knockout method. The best food is Regular Kibble, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Raw Mutton also works, though less efficiently. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it. Effective knockout weapons include the Crossbow with Tranq Arrow, Compound Bow, or Fabricated Sniper Rifle. The taming process takes about 22 minutes and requires no narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
