What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you are going on a trip and see one of these in the distance, GO THE OTHER WAY as soon as they see you they will run at you and you can’t outrun them. One coming at you? The water, that’s all that will save you unless you have a bola.
Tips!
PASSIVE NEUTRAL OR AGGRESSIVE?
If you are a late gamer you should know that these rats are aggressive. They attack anything they can even challenge Rex’s and what not. They are extremely dangerous for early gamers so make sure to keep distance because if you step foot in their face you will get slapped- 😭
TAMING - these rats are easy to tame. Just get a few bolas if you miss or there is a pack. Just bola that bad boy and knock it out with tranq arrows or just a simple club. Once you have done so it will be knocked out and just put some meat inside. Then boom you have yourself a raptor.
USES THEY HAVE - they are really fast and op. Have a pack of them and you can harvest a bunch of Dino’s. They are amazing travelers as they are fast and have a speed advantage against other dinosaurs such as the tank turtle. They are good for early gamers as if you want them to protect your base, travel, or simply just want them as a lap dog- *AHEM* as a pet- 😅
Cya guys and enjoy taming these bastards-
I have done the same thing with tank turtles and soon with the pteranodon so stick around!

Hey people who want to tame listen up
If you keep trying to tame a raptor but are dying
Stand on a rock it will help because the raptor can’t get up to you
Once you get flak or chitin, taming these guys is much easier. Just get close enough to agro them, then bola and use tranq arrows. Kill a dodo or para if you are high enough level, and voila! You've got a raptor. Make sure to either tame more or get an opposite gender. Once you have a new raptor of opposite gender, enable mating and let them do the smoochy smoochies and now you have a raptor pack.
After I knocked this thing out 4 alpha raptors ran at the speed of light and ripped my clothes off.
Just a crossbow, tranq arrow, and a stack o’ meat
-WARNING- Although it doesn’t say it, they can damage wood. Tested on mobile.
So this is Utahraptor.
Not enough raptors, we need Dromaeosaurus, Pyroraptor, and Dakotaraptor. These variants are rarer, a tiny bit less strong, and smaller except the Dakotaraptor, although I want them to have unique abilities. Dromaeosaurus should have a “latch on” ability, Pyroraptor should breath and light up a flammable gas to make it look like it’s breathing fire, and Dakotaraptor should be more cautious, curious, and patient than our regular Utahraptor, as it is big as the Utahraptor.
Dromaeosaurus = Small
Pyroraptor = A little bit smaller than Utahraptor (Rideable)
Dakotaraptor = Bigger as Utahraptor (Rideable)
Up if you want these to be added!
What ever you do at a low level never go for an alpha raptor they are stronger than Rex and potentially spinosaur I tried and I learned not to do it I’m saying it as a tip to new players
To tame them
Bola
Club or tranq (I recommend tranqs)
Then feed it prime meat or normal meat
Make sure to have a decent amount of nacroberries
Up if this helps.
You can bole the raptor and then shoot it with anything that causes torture and feed it raw meat or prime raw meat works perfectly fine but prime meat is better
If you encounter an Alpha Raptor, lead it into deep water and make sure it doesn’t go to the shore, get on a rock (if there is one) and you can bow it if you are on the rock or try killing it with a sword or something else
This thing is easy to tame!
You will need:
1. 5-6 bolas (just in case you miss or if there’s a pack)
2. 20-30 Narco/toxin (just in case if it gets conscious to quickly)
3. Bat (or use your fists)
4. Tranq arrows (only use these You don’t wanna kill it)
5. 12-30 meats (raw prime meat could be good too)
Now you are packed! Let’s get started now. Here’s some methods:
Method 1: find a raptor and bola it. Tranq the raptor and begin punching. Once it’s knocked out, feed it the meat you packed. After a few moments, it’s tamed!
Method 2: find a raptor and go to a high place and start shooting it with tranq arrows and bolas. Go down there and punch from the back. Once it’s knocked out, feed it the meat you packed. After a few moments, it’s tamed!
Pls press the button that’s shooting and argy if this was helpful!
