He is tge greatest . 1 of my favorite dinosaur
This has to be the one of the easy carnivores to tame. All you have to do is make some tranqs (the ones I have tranqed took 2 arrows) then find a rock so that they can’t reach you and start shooting them with the tranqs, then fill their inventory with 6-10 raw meat and it should take about a minute or two until you have a tamed raptor. Make sure you don’t try to tame a alpha raptor if you are a beginner and if you do want to try to then you are going to need a lot more tranqs and meat.
If you have a bola and a club with a tribe member
1 get tribe member distract
2 bola raptor
3 club
4 tame
If alone
Repeat without distraction or shoot them in the fase with a tranq
Super easy to tame all you need is a bola to stun them and do tranq arrows I recommend a crossbow but a bow is fine and also when you tame them if there’s 3 or more you have tamed they have a pack boost which is some cases can be really useful
You could easily nock out a Lv 20-30 with a boomerang and a club as I did this with a lv 25 and friend said it works on 30s so I would recommend not to waist your tranquil arrows if you need them for a bigger tame
When I came out of my house this one was sus it was level 30 and it attacked me after I got up after getting pounced on I led it to the water and used my special bow and killed it in three shots
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 ^
These are probably the best early game tame. They are easy to knock out and feed, they are common, they are fast and they are great at attacking. They also work very well in packs, If you have a few good levels you can take down some pretty strong foes
I frickin hate these. They enjoy devouring you, ur friends, and ur dinos! Whenever I see them I usually attempt to run to the biggest herbivore I see so the raptor will either attack it or the herbivore attacks it!! I preferably run towards trikes
Bolas don't work on alphas. Bear traps do though.
Ack, these things are so fast it’s hard to get away from them... but lucky for you here are some suggestions of how to get away from a pack of raptors(or just one lol)
1. Bola it and kill/run away
2.run under a brontosaurus’s legs
3. Enter a body of water and start swimming
4. Keep a neutral or passive wild dino between you and it, ( parasaurs, carbonemys and trikes
5. Get on a rock and shoot it
6. Run to a cliff
7. Cross a river
Taking a raptor is easy make sure there not multiple around or else your gonna get absolutely destroyed by them they tag team like crazy two of them could easily beat a ankylo
Easiest thing I have tamed so far as a beginner, highly recommend making a pack of these for when you go hunting
I have no idea where these losers come from!!! They just pop out of nowhere and pounce on me! It’s annoying asf and they don’t even give you a chance to fight back!
When a raptor pins you. You can do nothing and no weapon works.
EXCEPT..... Metal/stone Hatchet. Even though it doesn't show any hitting animation. You will see that while pinned downed You can cause damage to it through a hatchet.(MOBILE TRIED). Up If Anyone Does Experiment. Good luck. Try it.
If you are going to tame it I would use bolas on it the hid it with a tranquilizer arrow ore a club.
If you still want a raptor that pounces go to aberration
