Ingredients

The Net Projectile is an ammunition for the  Harpoon Launcher introduced in Genesis: Part 2 and also available on Genesis: Part 1, Lost Island and Fjordur. It can be launched out of the Harpoon Launcher and when it hits a target, it ensnares it completely.

Immobilization

The Net Projectile can immobilize a target caught in it for a minute. After it wears off you have to wait 30 seconds before you can net the target again. The netted dino cannot attack, tamed or wild, nor can the owner ride the dino. If the dino is tamed it can be cut away by anyone with a  Metal Hatchet,  Sword,  Pike ,  Metal Sickle or  Tek Sword by hitting the affected dino three times.

Crosshair

The crosshair can be colored in three different ways when holding a  Harpoon Launcher with the Net Projectile loaded:

  • Blue indicates no target is being aimed at;
  • Green indicates the target can be immobilized by the projectile;
  • Yellow indicate the target can be slowed by the projectile, but not immobilized;
  • Red indicates the projectile has no effect on that target, or that it is an ally.

Affected Creatures

Unaffected Creatures

Small fish like the Sabertooth Salmon and anything with a drag weight above 500.

Notes

  • Prior to patch 330.8 the  Harpoon Launcher would cease to work under water when it had the ammo equipped.
  • Some creatures like the Titanoboa, Arthropluera, and Alpha Blood Crystal Wyvern (but not regular Crystal Wyvern) will still move around despite having the net projectile model on them and not attacking. Basilisks and their Alpha variant are also affected, and will bury after a few seconds.
  • Despite the patch notes stating that Alphas are unaffected, this is not true as a rule. While some Alphas had their drag weights raised to 600, above the 500 threshold, many others are still below it and subsequently are still affected.
  • Best used to freeze and trap medium creatures like the Argentavis or Carnotaurus, and can also be used to tame the Quetzal.
  • Anything Rex size or bigger will have no effects.
  • The net may cause hit registration issues when trying to knock out a trapped creature.
