New Dinosaurs in UPD 11
UPD 11 introduced additional species to the Be Dino roster. While the exact new species depend on the update details, the pattern from previous updates suggests:
| Expected Addition | Type | Rarity | Tier Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| New species variants | Various | Epic–Legendary | May shift B-A tier rankings |
| Baby dinosaur system | New mechanic | Common+ | Progression system |
| Exoraptor refinements | Raptor | Mythic | S-tier maintained |
The baby dinosaur system: UPD 11 introduced or expanded the dinosaur babies/hatchlings system, which allows players to interact with juvenile versions of species. This adds a new collection and progression dimension to the game.
How new species affect the tier list: New additions may shift the tier rankings, particularly at the B-tier (Epic) and C-tier (Rare) levels. S-tier Mythic species remain at the top regardless of new additions. Check our tier list for the current rankings.
Balance Changes in UPD 11
Every major update includes balance adjustments to existing species. These changes can shift tier rankings and alter the competitive meta:
Typical balance change types:
| Change Type | Effect | Who It Affects |
|---|---|---|
| XP Multiplier Adjustments | Changes growth speed | Species with modified multipliers |
| Stat Rebalancing | Changes combat power | Species with modified stats |
| Roar Effect Changes | Changes visual/audio effects | Species with modified roars |
| New Ability Additions | Adds new mechanics | Species receiving new abilities |
How to adapt to balance changes:
- Check the patch notes for specific changes to your main species
- Test your species in a few KOTH events to feel the differences
- If your main species was nerfed, consider trying an alternative A-tier Legendary
- Diversify your species collection — having multiple A-tier options protects you from balance patches

How UPD 11 Affects Your Strategy
For new players: The MARSH code provides an even bigger head start than before. Redeem it immediately for 10,000 Gems and multiple free species. This single code gives you enough Gems for a Legendary chest opening plus A-tier and C-tier species.
For existing players: Check the balance changes for your main species. If your primary dinosaur was adjusted, test it in KOTH before committing to the Apex Arena or boss fights. Diversify your collection to hedge against future balance patches.
For completionists: UPD 11 likely added new species to the Dinodex. Check your collection for gaps and plan your chest opening strategy to fill them.
Update Impact Analysis
Each Be Dino update can significantly change the game. Here is how to assess update impacts:
Content updates (new species, new areas, new mechanics): These are major updates that change gameplay fundamentally. New species may shift the tier list, new areas provide new food sources and PvP zones.
Balance updates (stat adjustments, XP multiplier changes): These can shift the meta overnight. A species that was S-Tier can drop to B-Tier if its stats are nerfed.
Bug fixes (crash fixes, exploit patches): These improve game stability but rarely affect strategy.
Event updates (new events, seasonal content): These provide new Gem income sources and cosmetic items.

Pro Tips and Common Mistakes
Even experienced Be Dino players make mistakes that cost them progress. This section highlights the most common errors and provides pro tips to avoid them.
Top 5 mistakes that reset your progress:
-
AFK farming as a sub-adult species: The single most common mistake. Sub-adult species of any tier are vulnerable during AFK. Only AFK with fully grown Legendary or Mythic species.
-
Ignoring event cycles: Missing a KOTH event means missing 3,000–5,000 free Gems. Over a week of missed events, that compounds to 42,000–70,000 Gems lost. Always prioritize event participation.
-
Spending Gems on low-tier chests: Basic and Epic chests are terrible value. Save all Gems for Legendary (minimum) or Mythic chests. Every Gem spent on a Basic chest is wasted potential.
-
Not redeeming codes immediately: Be Dino codes expire without warning. The MARSH code alone provides a free Legendary species worth 15,000–25,000 Gems. Not redeeming it immediately risks losing the most valuable free item in the game.
-
Fighting larger species in PvP: Size determines combat outcomes in Be Dino. If you are smaller, you will be eaten. There is no skill component — only size matters. Flee from larger opponents every time.
Pro tips for maximum efficiency:
| Tip | Impact | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Use MARSH code on day one | Saves 25,000+ Gems | Redeem code immediately |
| Participate in every KOTH | 21,000–35,000 Gems/week | Set event timer reminders |
| Save Gems for Legendary+ chests | Better species unlock odds | Never spend below 25,000 |
| Equip Food Radius before AFK | Doubles AFK growth rate | Configure boosts per activity |
| Switch servers for AFK safety | Reduces death risk by 50%+ | Choose low-population servers |
| Never AFK as sub-adult | Prevents complete progress reset | Only AFK with full-grown species |
The compounding effect of daily habits: Small daily improvements compound dramatically over time. Redeeming daily codes (+500 Gems), completing daily quests (+1,000 Gems), and participating in one event (+3,000 Gems) adds up to 4,500+ Gems per day with minimal time investment. Over 30 days, that is 135,000+ Gems — enough for multiple Legendary chest attempts.
