How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I was hunting one down in the forest. Lost sight of her. Suddenly she appeared behind me, I barely had time to say “clever girl” before she ripped me to shreds
Bolas don't stop alphas
Always carry bolas.
One time near the swamp, i saw a pack of raptors. There were 9 raptors in that pack. That's all i have to say.
-Someone, somewhere in the world.
Always at the wrong place and wrong time
Let’s just say if they find you you better. Hope you have a bola because they will attempt to rip you to shreds especially if they’re in groups. Trust me past experience.
If one chases after you and you know you cannot fight it then sprint away and run very close to herbivores or small carnivores because it will keep following your trail and choose to attack them instead. If this helped then ^
Oh my god. So stressful. While we were taming a Tapejara, my Baryonyx got stuck. Then a raptor came. I thought the raptor couldn’t fit through the gaps of the wooden spike wall. But because my Baryonyx was stuck, he couldn’t protect me. Suddenly the raptor got inside and killed the Tapejara and my 3x taming boost. I was so angry. I got my Baryonyx and brutally murdered that disgusting ugly raptor. 1 second. After the bloody mess, I dimmed the lights and sadly brang my Baryonyx to look for more Tapejaras.
1 like = another lvl 10 Tapejara found.
If you see an alpha, then run immediately! They will kill you in seconds if they reach you. Run to water; they cannot or will not (I don't know which) swim downwards. If one attacks you at close range, you are as good as dead. They have 15 times health and extra damage and cannot be knocked out or tamed. Normal raptors also can't swim down, so if you can't kill it, then it's time for a swim!
Don't bother trying to outrun them if your low level. Trust me, just close your eyes and accept your fate.
So if you have only 1 bolas you can escape or kill him and him is very easy for tame its will be my third dino good luck (so im russ and this can be a mistakes)
Took my two raptors out to get some raw fish/meat around the map. I was riding my 125 and my 107 was following. Until I realize up ahead there’s a pack of 130 raptors up ahead. I tried going around them but had to fight anyways. My 107 had died fighting a 130 and 135 while I my 125 was low fighting a 139. We barely made it out since my raptor was about 102 HP and out Stamina running form the others 4 raptors.
1 like/up = one respect for Robber ( the one that died )
Get your bola ready BEFORE you enter agro range. These things hit fast and once they reach you they tend to zig zag to dodge your attacks. On mobile all wild raptors can pounce you leaving you defenceless which needs a nerf because it traumatizes noobs and makes raptors very dangerous. Add to that how common they are and theyre basically stopping you from progressing. On mobile if you run at them from their back they wont expect you and get agroed only when you are very close
One time me my dilo,and lvl 29 dodo were walking around the beach and a one of these killed both my tames and I survived 1like =1 RIP for kill accepted and mandible
In aberration and on mobile these bluds can pounce you off your mount.
I would recomend a stego to fend against these guys on aberration and on mobile as they can’t get dismounted
If there's one, there's probably another.
Always carry around at least 1 bola. They can be death sentence for raptors. If you see a pack of them, stay away until you are confident you can take them on (have a decent pack of dinosaurs).
Literally just started. Running round in me undies. Trying to build a base. Admim dude comes along and straight yeeted a raptor coming for me. He then proceeded to slaughtet the pack that was on my vunerable ass. Thank you Dear Leader
If you are new, start learning how to make bolas NOW!!! You are more likely to survive if you have some.
I made my own raptor pack I'm king on the server I have over 54 raptorsa (#lag)
