Tips & Strategies

To tame a raptor for defence or offence you,ll at least become level 21 and learn tranq arrows after get bolas and you will need to be around need to be around level 10 for them then migrate to the west because raptors most commonly spawn there single out a raptor if needed or tame the pack I recommend singling them out bola them or get on a high rock and start tranqing them out with tranq arrows hit them in the head with tranqs if there about level 50 or above once you’ve knocked it out wait for about half it’s food to drain then put meat in there inventory while keeping them knocked out put wooden spike walls around it to protect it from any predators while knocked out after 10 or 30 minutes it should have lost enough food then put food in its inventory
More Raptor Utility Tips
If you are taming raptors I would recommend taming around 3-5 raptors if you can. Raptors are a great way of quick transportation because if you are traveling with your group of raptors it can easily kill any decent threat if you use them right. I would recommend choosing the best raptor and making the other raptors follow it.
Raptors are essentially better Dilos. Whe lacking the poisonous blinding spit of a Dilo, they have a much better DPS due to their speed. In groups of three or more they benefit from a pack boost, and in groups of at least four I notice they tend to take on bigger threats on the Ark (notably Sarcos and Kapros). Plus their pounce ability is not to be overlooked.
In short, tame Dilos for the early game, but Raptors as you move into mid game.
