Even if the Argentavis isn’t the best gatherer out there, this incredible bird will make your life much easier when harvesting prime meat. First of all, flying is faster than running or riding any dinosaurs, so this method will surely save you some time. This isn’t enough to convince you? The Argy is actually considered one of the most valuable creatures in the game as it won’t only get you considerable amounts of prime meat, but also rare resources such as Organic Polymer. Use it to kill larger creatures or even to carry the small ones with you. It is the perfect tool!

How it works:

Tame an Argentavis. It’s quite ironic that its favorite food is Raw Prime Meat
Craft an Argy Saddle – available at level 62
Fly with your amazing bird and kill larger creatures – Raw Prime Meat can be obtained from Allosaurus, Argentavis, Bronto, Carnotaurus, Paracer, Carno, Quetzal, and many others.
Harvest the meat and refill your stock

4. Ichthyornis

These annoying little birds can be your worst enemies or your most loyal friends. They initially act aggressively toward any players, stealing your items unprovoked and attacking at any given moment, even if your inventory is empty? So why bother taming them? Using an Ichthyornis is one of the easiest ways to harvest Raw Prime Meat. Usually, small creatures such as a Dodo, Compy, or Jerboa won’t get you any Prime Meat, but if your Ichty hunts them, that’s a whole other story. When told to attack, this bird will catch, kill and bring you the target. You can even use it to get Prime Fish Meat. Moreover, its cuteness might get to you, as it likes to ride on your shoulder and might even offer you some treats (fish, of course).

How it works:

Tame an Ichthyornis. You don’t need to be experienced to succeed in this.
Use it to hunt creatures such as the Dodo, Compy, Jerboa, Lystrosaurus or Pegomastax
Harvest great amounts of Prime Meat

3. Kill non-adult versions of any creature

I’m sorry to put it this way, but that means killing babies, a ruthless, yet very effective method of getting constant Raw Prime Meat. Dodos are usually preferred, as they are the easiest to tame. Kairuku are currently the only ones that can have wild babies, so taming the creatures in order to breed them is an important part to think about. Wyverns also have fertilized eggs in the wild, if you are in for an adventure. You can harvest the babies using any of these dinos: Carno, Rex, Allosaurus, Giga, or even a chainsaw if you are playing on Scorched Earth.

How it works:

Tame any pair of creatures. Tip: go for the ones that don’t require too much effort, such as Dodos or herbivores
Breed them and hatch the eggs. Create your own Prime-Meat farm
Kill the newborns and get yourself unlimited Raw Prime Meat

2. Kill Alpha dinosaurs

This method is perfect if you are a late-gamer and like taking up a challenge. Going for Alphas is a reliable source of Prime Meat. The best advantage? These dinosaurs can get you incredible amounts of meat compared to other traditional methods. How to kill an Alpha? You need a powerful combat creature, with high melee damage and a high gain per action. Try taming a high-level Rex/ Giga or Allosaurus. Also, be equipped with your best weapons and strong armor, you never know if things will go according to your plan.

How it works:

Find an Alpha dinosaur
Attack and battle until you kill it
Harvest the corpse. It will give you insane amounts of Raw Prime Meat, instead of Raw Meat

1. Giganotosaurus

This giant is not to be joked about. Giga is an enormous predator, with the best efficiency when it comes to harvesting Prime Meat. Taming one of these is a dangerous action and even a tamed one can throw off its rider if he annoyed it sufficiently! However, Giga is considered the best meat-harvester in the whole game. If it’s yours, this creature can kill almost anything you want and make it look easy too. Larger creatures will be a secure target and an accessible source of Prime Meat so you won’t have any worries from now on. Not to mention that Giganotosaurus is also a Titan Killer, so if you are a late-gamer, taming one is definitely a good idea!

How it works:

Tame a Giganotosaurus. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton and the saddle becomes available at level 96
Kill any dinosaur that stands in your way. Tip: Paracers are a great source of Prime Meat and are easy to kill too.
Harvest the corpses and get the Prime Meat. Don’t forget that the meat will spoil in no time in your inventory. Use the Gigas’ inventory, or even better, build a Preserving Bin/ a Refrigerator.
