Levi's Guide to Carnotaurus
By kenward edway
Greetings fellow carnage-doers!

For over a period of time, I wanted to create this guide of my most played and favorite (next to Rex) dinosaur class.

So, without further ado, here is my guide. Enjoy!

Introduction
Carnotaurus “Meat (eating) Bull”
Website Bio: http://www.primalcarnage.com/website/classes-carno

"Carnotaurus are mean. Very, very mean; they will charge a human like a bull to a red rag. A rippling powerhouse of muscle and scales with seemingly no sense of fear or caution, Carnotaurus have the uncanny ability to lay waste to all your carefully laid plans of survival and causing havoc is their speciality. A fully loaded weapon and a fair amount of teamwork is usually required to dispatch with these monsters before they cause the demise of your entire team.

Carnotaurus were originally selected because they were unstoppable in combat, now you’re tasked with… stopping them.

Good luck, you’ll need it."
Abilities
Charge (Hold Shift): Carno's bread and butter. This is the way to rack up kills from human clusters. 2 full speed charges will do the trick as they do guaranteed 80 damage each, and around 3 babby charges will work as well. BE WARNED, make sure to use ambushes to your advantage, as this is extremely easy to dodge. If you can do that, they won't even know what hit 'em.

Carno is meant to be a hit-and-run class. When you manage to hit a successful charge, you don't stop in the middle of the group to bite and sidesweep. You run off, and after everyone forgot about you, hit them again, getting more well deserved kills and assists.



On 1v1 or 1v2, things change. If you hit them, I recommend stopping and finishing them with a bite and/or sidesweep. If you want to charge again, make sure you run off and then do so shortly after to avoid getting an assist. If you try to do it right after charging, they will be able to dodge them fairly easily and unload. If you're good enough however, you may be able to pull it off.

Don't be discouraged. All dinosaur classes take time to get the hang of, so allow yourself time to learn.

Bite (Left Click): Most likely your second main attack. Does aroundish 60 damage, so three should get you another kill. Health is also replenished when you finish off a human with this, so keep that in mind.

The best time to use this is on a 1v1 or 1v2. A very good way of finishing them off, next to the sidesweep.

Head Swing (Right Click): The head swing (or as I like to call it, sidesweep) is your third type of attack in you arsenal. It does about 30 damage, give or take. This ability works great on those pro-dodgers. If you find yourself trying to finish a single human off and he/she keeps circling, use this and you'll send that pesky human flying a couple yards.

If you're lucky, they will die from the fall. Most of the time, however, they have enough health to survive it, so use that space to your advantage and finish them off with a charge.

Roar (Q): The Carno's special roar allows you to regain health by charging enemies. Sounds pretty great, right? Well, there's a catch. It also sacrifices your damage by a great deal, so the best way to use this is if you're acting as a team player or distraction.
Post Notes
1. Beware other large dinosaurs and obstructions. They reduce your charge to walking speed and making you an easy target.
2. Stamina to you is like ammo to humans. Use it wisely.
3. Remember to charge pounced humans as well as it will lower the human's health and get you an assist when he/she dies.

Patch Changes
As far as I know, the headswing does 1 damage now so it should mainly be used as a knockback and a setup for a bite, charge, or escape.
Conclusion
Remember these tips/strategies, and you should do just fine on the battleground. Carnotaurus is a very effective class once you figure him out, and very deadly in the hands of a good player.

EDIT: I was playing as (-D.M-) BlueRex at the time.

Even this time later, this guide is still good for those of us who still play PC1. Thank you for publishing this.

How to play Carno: Wormy's edition. Get a Green Carno skin, and play Capture the egg. The Jungle map is PERFECT. I KILLED THE ENTIRE HUMAN TEAM IN A SINGLE CHARGE AS IT, IT'S GODLY.

LAN's carno guide;
Hit the human 150 times with your headswing to kill it!

Might want to edit it, since the Carno's headswing was nerfed to do only 1 damage now.
