About

The Alpha Dakosaurus (Rift) is an alpha-tier aquatic predator introduced in the Aquatica DLC. As an alpha predator, it poses a significantly elevated threat compared to standard creatures, making it a key consideration when tuning difficulty settings or designing underwater encounter zones on your server.

Admins can reference its entity ID MegaDakosaurus_Character_BP_Rift_C when using spawn commands, configuring creature population overrides, or setting up custom difficulty rules that target specific entity classes. The Rift variant is distinct from any base Dakosaurus entry, so ensure you use the correct entity ID when writing server configs or spawn scripts.

Because it belongs to the Alpha Predator type, standard alpha-related loot tables and difficulty multipliers apply. Factor this in when balancing reward drops or adjusting damage and health scalars through your game.ini settings.
