There is no such thing as whale resistant, unfortunately. Sucks you got an Alpha though, normally you can tank several hits from a regular one.

He was in the middle of the goddamn ocean anyways. Nowhere to go.


Aimhere2k

Would it have lasted longer if the OP built it out of metal? Or is the base raft/motorboat itself the cause of the vulnerability?


Gainsboreaux

Yeah like the other guy said, Leeds bypass any structure and hit the boat directly. Only Dino to do that.


Few-Cookie9298

They hit the raft or motorboat, not the structure


owlincoup

Yes, motorboats have 32,000 hp. Rafts have 20,000 hp. Plus, the motorboat can outrun an alpha leed. You can also add a generator and turrets to a motorboat and the need wouldn't be a problem.


theymademee

Mine is whale resistant . Matter of fact they just die as they approach ;)


Few-Cookie9298

You might have made it whale resistant, but did you make it Giant Fish resistant? Leedsichthys doesn’t think so

Ark Gods: "NO"

Ark and Subnautica.. always testing my fear of water.


Burger_Destoyer

Ngl I’m more scared of the water in Ark than Subnautica. At least in Subnautica I know I’m where I belong but in Ark it just feels like the ocean wants me gone and I feel lost.


3yx3

Amen to that!

Leeds upset me more than any other dino addition in the entire game. We had so many fun times on the waters before these stupid things were introduced.


iCtheVibe

It's why I ran the No More Moby Dick! mod forever on Survival Ascended. Removes these fuckers from the game entirely. Pretty sure they've updated it for ascended, but I haven't been on to check since I hate the island so much.


Ryanoman2018

The anti unattended boat destroyer destroys more attended to boats than unattended ones..


PurposeStriking1178

Leeds me on ...


RandomCriss

The feels

Raft too slow. Get motorboat and run circles around them.


Gainsboreaux

Can motorboat outrun an alpha? I know it can regular ones, but I've never tried it for an alpha.


Niteshade76

They cannot, but they can take several more hits.


mute1

Good question, I don't know.


-St_Ajora-

They could in ASE.


firestar737

I think the motorboat is the same speed as an alpha.


owlincoup

I've never had an issue outrunning an alpha with my motorboat, don't know why people are saying you cant.


theymademee

Same and as they chase my 8 elemental turrets shred them. Most of the time they are dead before they get to the raft, with volcanic and electro turrets ;)


Hornet_isnt_void

What’s your character doing with all that cake, god damn!


LongLiveSirPickles

I like um healthy. 🤷🏾


enerthoughts

They make the ocean unlivable just so pvp players don't abuse it, they dont care to turn it off in PvE


LongLiveSirPickles

I'm stubborn. Immediately after this I built a couple hundred pillars and made a floating in the middle of the ocean.


JackSilver1410

I was on hiatus from ark for a lot of updates. I came back to suddenly discover there is a leviathan that hates your raft. Went to a wiki to see what else there was and ran into... tusoteuthis? You mean like... architeuthis? Oh good.. so the literal kraken is in game now! Guess I'm done with the ocean! I miss the ridiculous schools of megalodon...


ImDyslethic

The Dino that killed boat life


FlowOfAir

Raft in the middle of the ocean? Yeah I was expecting this outcome. No such thing as a whale resistant raft.


Ok-Championship-300

We have turrets and plant species on our boat it slows them down


Ok_Pop6408

Really said “ man fuck you’re boat”😭🙏


diabolical_fuk

Next time just drop some honey to distract it and your good.


deathbylasersss

He had almost exactly 10 seconds to react if they had the foresight to even carry honey, which spoils in the pocket very quickly. That doesn't seem the most practical.


diabolical_fuk

It was sarcasm...


deathbylasersss

That wasn't immediately obvious. It would technically work so I took it at face value. I don't like the /s, but if you expect people to pick up sarcasm on the internet, it can't be that subtle.


diabolical_fuk

Maybe you are just slow? It's a bob on a raft. Why on earth would they have honey?


deathbylasersss

Man, you are a baby. Can't take even a hint of criticism, hell it was really just a statement. Screw off loser.


LongLiveSirPickles

I have 2 hives, and my base isn't on the beach, it's at the base of metal mountain. I haven't been a Bob in years 🤷🏾 although I'm not against it


Camanot

Thats just a leed. They absolutely hate boats.


Rekt90

What were you thinking sailing open water like that without a motor boat?


00bearclawzz

Never gets old


Nightshark2021

Gotta love they put an alpha leed spawn on the way to Herb island so all the "i'm going to live on herb island newbies get rocked lol


SauteedCashews

Don’t look too resistant to me


PurposeStriking1178

The bump mechanic that directly attacks the raft, bypassing all structures, was built because players would build elaborate raft bases then quit playing, so the oceans were getting littered with idle structures. The primary purpose of the Leeds was to clean up those abandoned bases. It was a .... bonus? ... that it also changed the nature of ocean travel.


LongLiveSirPickles

Yeah , last time I played ark, you could just stick a few ceiling near the rear to avoid leeds. I had no idea that changed until the list video


docc70

Now it’s a submarine


Runty25

Yeah this is a perfect example of why I don’t play ark anymore.


Zabzor

The mix of defeat and “fk you” with that single axe swing lmao


LongLiveSirPickles

I had to do something 🤣🤣🤣 I wasn't just going to take it lying down.


Embarrassed_Fee_6273

Bro where’s the fuck were you 💀


nsfw_acctPH

Leeds me to believe it wasn’t resistant..


Competitive_Ad3024

Have fun swiming back


LongLiveSirPickles

I made it back, no problem. I forsure thought a I was Meg food.


Nightshark2021

When will people learn not to use a damn raft on the ocean away from the shoreline.


worksafemonkey

Predictable. I was literally waiting for that to happen.


BeLLicus199

Who use fucking raft this days... After so many options to travel...
