Tyrants charging


Evil abducting creature...









Lets get started shall we?

"An expert marksman, Moria perfers to approach problems from a distance"

As the Scientist, you play an important damage dealing part. Your sniper rifle deals a lot of damage on long ranges as well as up close. This game does not require to use your scope to hit your target, its just easier to use it on longer distances. Don't dont be afraid of firing it up close, your bullets wont fly all over the place, but make sure you make every bullet count. The rifle has a small amount of ammo and the reloading time is quite long.



Your secondary weapon consists of a tranqullizer, this weapon deals a very small amout of damage, but it slows your opponets down. Their stamina regenation is also slowed down, which means that if you put enought of these bad boys in a trex you can just walk away from him or hunt him down now that he is unable to escape.

Personally, I recommend you using the Tranq against the Trex and the Carno. Both classes relies on speed to be able to kill their enemies. The other classes also use speed, but hiting a raptor, dilo and those flying bastards is alot harder then a big trex/spino.



If you press F, you will throw a medic pack infront of you. Healing 50 Health!

"A military veteran, Marcus is adept at unleashing a hailstorm of lead upon his foes"

The commando is a standard figthing unit. He is equiped with an Assault Rifle and a grenade launcher attachment. The rifle itself is very moderate. Good amount of ammo, decent accuracy and damage. The grenade launcher on the other hand is very dangerous. It is very effective against all dinos. Dilos and raptors can be killed with a single hit if you hit them directly! It got no iron sight so you need to learn how high up you need to aim to succesfully land a shot.



DO NOT SHOT IN THE GROUND OR CLOSE TO YOU! unlike the old Primal Carnage, the grenade will go of no matter how close you are. It explodes on hit, so make sure you have a distance from your target before firing.

Tip: Firing the grenade instantly is not always a good choice. Sometimes its worth to wait until several dinos has joined the fight and fire when they are grouped up. So you can deal damage to several enemies at once!

Your secondary is a deagle pistol, its just a pistol really. I will cover it later in the guide.







Pressing F will throw a box of Ammuntion for allies to pick up.

"Jackson, a big game hunter, is here to claim the ultimate thropy with traps and dual pistols"

The Trapper is a mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥, seriously, look at that stache, he WILL sleep with your mother.

The trapper is equipped with two revolver pistols. They may sound like some wild west toys you had when you were younger, but they have good accuracy. These are best used on medium distances.

The trappers secondary is a trapper gun, mainly used to catch smaller dinosaurs (and your mom) in a net. It can also be used to make the trex and carnos to shut their faces, leaving them to simply crush you with their feets instead of eating you. This is good, because if the trex eats someone, he will regain health. I recommend you using this one mainly on Trexes, the flying bastards and raptors. The dilos have such a small amout of health anyway, so dont waste the net on them. The carno uses his head to charge into people anyway, so putting the net on him wont make a big difference in the fight.

Pressing F will deploy a mine, dealing damage to any dinosaur walking over it. Dont be affraid of blowing your friends legs up, it will only explode when dinosaurs walks over it. BUT if you are close to the mine when it detonates you will take damage!

Note: The net imobilizes Raptors, Dilos and the flying bastards for quite some time. Its enough time for you to kill them. Also, the trapper can instantly kill dinosaurs that are trapped in nets, look at the dinosaur in the net and click Right mouse button.

"A survival expert, Joseph specializes in close-range combat"

The Pathfinder is a close combat unit that uses a shotgun to deal with the genetically engineered reptilians, also refeerd as dinosaurs. The shotgun deals alot of damage in close range and has a decent reload speed. It does not deal much damage on longer ranges, but it can still hit targets.





The secondary weapon is a desert eagle. You can utilize the deagle to deal some damage over medium distances or when you are out of ammo for the shotgun. The default key is Q.






Pressing the F key will throw out a red glowing flare, this will blind enemies and light up dark areas. Use this gadget in bith open fields were cover is low and in tight areas so smaller dinosaurs have a much harder time hiting you.

"Angus, believes that all problems can be solved with a generous application of fire"

The Pyro uses flames to keep the animals in line. The flamethrower can set dinos on fire that continues to deal damage over time.
Setting a flying bastard on fire will prevent him from being able to pick humans up. So keep an eye up in the sky for your teams protection.

As mentioned, the dinos will burn even after you have put them on fire (obvious? no? ok) this is very good when fighting dilos in forests, the small ones uses the foliage to hide and ambush. Lighting one on fire will make them a lot easier to follow and kill. For example, silos survival depends on their enemies not knowing their position when spitting, due to the small amount of health.

The flamethrowers seconday is a HOLY SWEET FREAKING CHAINSAW!? HELL YEAH. This piece of metal attachment will deal a TON of damage to any dinosaur. You need to be really up close though, so be careful.


The secondary weapon is a flare gun. It fires a flare that, wait for it.... PUTS THE ENEMY ON FIRE! Use this weapon to light a dinosaur from a distance. Hiting a Raptor or a flying bastard is pretty hard. And stuck with only 3 shots, you should use them on a target that is easy to hit.

Pressing F will unleash the hell that the finnish people used to destroy russian tanks during WW2!

When fighting the Dinosaur menace on the remote island its important to stay alive... and having your pockets full of ammo.




Achieving these two things you need to locate ammo and health crates spread across the maps. When low on health, find the Red crate and press E. When healing, you can simply abort it by letting go of the E key. This is useful, if you see a dino closing in!

When low on ammo you do the same thing, but with the one that is highlighted yellow. You can abort the resupply too, but you won't get any ammo by canceling the process. The resupply time is not very long, so don't worry.

Note: Both crates will be highlighted, even when full on HP and Ammo.

Ammo Crate!

Finding spots Tyrants can't get you and areas not reachable by the flying bastards are critical! Explore maps and find different areas. Holding the same area for to long always results in the enemy finding a way to break your line in one way or another.

Example: You have been holding positions inside a garage, the trexes can't reach you and the flying ones are now usless. When they die, they all go Raptor/Carno/Dilo and rush your position. Resulting in you getting over run.






Being a badass Rambo shooting everyone is not always enought. All dinosaurs have a unique sound for both footstep and attacks. Listen for them so you know what will hit you. It can take some time to learn the difference between them, but it will reward you!

Noticing sounds from dinosaurs will make you prepared for whats coming.


All dinosaurs have a special Ability. They always roar when they activate it and gives them a boost in different ways, depending on what dinosaur. The positive thing with this is that they reveal their position when doing it.

I will cover each special ability in the dinosaurs individual guide tab.

There are 5 types of Dinosaurs that will eat you. Just to put it simple for you.

A trex!
A Spino

These enormous dinosaurs are the reason why Steven Spielberg made a fortune in his movie career, they are also the dinosaur with the highest amout of health in Primal Carnage: Extinction! The Trex and Spino can kill humans with a single bite! Flanking, hiding and cooperation with teammates is the only thing that can bring them down.

• Roar: You will hear the t-rex roar from time to time, enraging their teammates. This causes them to restand more damage. It does not give them more health or heals a certain amount of health. But making you do less damage to them, its not a huge amount nor does it stack with multipy roars but it will make a small difference. When the spino roars it increases the damage done by his fellow dinosaurs.

Everyone on the human team must work together to take out these giants

• Scientist: Use the Tranqullizer to slow him down
  
• Commando: Use the grenade launcher to maximize damage
  
• Trapper: Use the trapper gun to cover the tyrants mouth, so he can't regain HP from eating.
  
• Pathfinder: Use flares to distract him, stay close behind him and use your shotgun.
  
• Pyro: Follow the Pathfinder and use your flamethrower. If possible, use your chainsaw.

Remember, they are not immortal! Keep up the fire and move!

The Novaraptor is a very fast aggressor, they can intercept humans by jumping and forcing them to the ground. This leaves the human completely helpless.
So sticking together is extremely important. All human classes can fight raptors fairly good, as long as they are not alone.

• Frenzy: The Raptor will let out a terrifying scream, removing his ablity to sprint but gives him a huge boost in attack speed. Make a distanace immediately! During this time you can sprint away from him and he can't pounce you, so use this to your advantage. You should always focus the raptor when this ability is active, he kills humans in matter of seconds. This ability does not stay forever, so after a period of time, he will regain the ability to run and pounce you.

To take down the raptor, stay together and watch each others backs

• Scientist: Keep the raptor as far way as possible. Using the scope it not recommended in close combat. Consider using the tranqulizer, depending on the situation.
  
• Commando: Use the rifle to shot him on close and medium distances. Consider using the grenade launcher.
  
• Trapper: Use the trapper gun to catch the raptor in a net.
  
• Pathfinder: Use the flares to blind the raptor and finish him of with the shotgun.
  
• Pyro: Burn the raptor, to make him unable to intercept humans.

A Carno

The Carno is like a combination of a trex and a raptor. They are fast, they have small hands they can't masturbate with and has quite a lot of health. The carnos objective is to break up the humans. Larger groups of humans is what the carno is targeting. Sprinting through the human ranks and sending them of to hell.

When the carno is not sprinting, he can swing his head that will push anyone close to him away. This does not cause a lot of damage, but this could send you down a hill and kill you.

Gathering up in tight spots and resupply crates is a great risk with carnos running around. Make sure you are not to close to each other. The Carno is pretty big, so you will hear his footsteps and heavy breathing from a distance, so you can prepare and get to a safer position.

• Ravenous Roar: The Carno will make a roar that decreases his damage, but in return, he gains health by damaging humans. The only way to counter this is to simply not get in his way. Its not very easy to hear this roar, its not loud or unique. So just try not to get hit by him, which you should try to avoid even when he is not having his ability active... so yea

You bring this guy down by just shooting him. But keep this in mind:

• Scientist: Use the Sniper Rifle to bring him down by pure damage or use your Tranqullizer to slow him down for other teammates to finish.
  
• Commando: The Carno is such a big target that it is hard to miss with both the rifle and grenade launcher.
  
• Trapper: Do not waste the net on the Carno, he uses his head to charge, not his mouth. But if the Carno slows down and starts to bite people, consider using the net.
  
• Pathfinder: The shotgun is very effective agains the Carno when you are close to him. Deploy some flares close to your teammates to protect them.
  
• Pyro: Try to light him on fire when he runs around. The Carno will run for health when he is low and your fire can sometimes kill him before he reaches a place to heal. If the carno slows down, use the chainsaw to engage him.

A Dilos spit

The dilo is the weakest of the dinosaurs, but also the most annyoing one. This unpleasent creature will spit you in the face, like he owns the place! But be careful, an experienced Dilo knows how to confuse you. Blinding you and running fast around you while biting can be lethal.


The Dilo often prefers to keep a distance from the humans, his spit can still hit and cause damage from long distances.

• The Dilo roars and regains his stamina. This ability is not much to fear. But its very revealing and easy to recognise. The only time a Dilo needs stamina quickly is when he is chasing someone or trying to escape!

A sneaky Dilo can be hard to kill, but listen carefuly and keep your eyes open.

• Scientist: Using the rifle is great at clearing out these lamas. Remember that the Dilo will focus scientists because of the high damage. Don't make yourself an easy target!
  
• Commando: The grenade launcher is excellent at taking out Dilos.
  
• Trapper: Use the pistols over medium distances. The net is also a great way to trap and kill a Dilo.
  
• Pathfinder: The shotgun can one hit a Dilo, but usally takes two shots to finish him.
  
• Pyro: Lighting a Dilo on fire makes it impossible for the him to hide in foliage.

A diving Ptera

This hideous creature will grab you and throw you of the worlds end. Not once, not twice, but through the entire game!

To fight this abomination you need accurate fire power. The Scientist and the Trapper are perfect for returning this freak to the grave.

• Mark: The flying horror will let out a scream, marking all humans in its vision. The scream is easy to recognise and always comes from above. When hearing this, assume you have been marked and group up with teammates. The entire dinosaur team will be able to see marked humans from across the map. So there is no point in hiding when you know you have been marked.

The Ptera only dives when other dinosaurs are near to draw attention from it.

• Scientist: Use the rifle with a steady hand to take down the Ptera. A single shot to the head kills him.
  
• Commando: Use the rifle to harass the Ptera
  
• Trapper: Use the pistols to harass and the trapper gun to catch the Ptera when he is flying low.
  
• Pathfinder: Use the shotgun when the Ptera dives in for the kill. Flares are also a great way to make it harder for the behemoth to find preys.
  
• Pyro Use the flamethrower to put the Ptera on fire, so that it cant abduct helpless innocent humans.
