If you are looking to tame a raptor I recommend using a bola to pin it down the problem with raptors is you need to tame a high level one because low levels 1 to 10 get killed really easy when they your trying to tame one and then it try’s to kill therazeno or triceratops and sum times dilaphasoars and then it’s dead and then you have to go look everywhere to find a good leveled one.One time I found a level 29 I was so close to taming it I had it pinned down with a bola but sum stupid dilos attacked it and a little bit ago it was attacking something it survived but it was on low health I bolad it and then sum dilos came out from nowhere and started attacking it and then I shot the raptor with a tranq arrow and it died raptors are a nightmare to tame it took my over a week to find a good level one and have it not die and then I finely tamed two really good raptors I’m not saying raptors are bad they are really really really good but you you need a good level one the point is they are hard to tame especially if you are low level now moving to the up sides of raptors they have a nice little jump attack that pins enything small enough and what’s really good about them is of you have a pack of raptors the highest level one with become the alpha and then you get the ebillity to call for your pack just like in Jurassic park and then you will get extra damage for the alpha and for the rest of the pack and if your riding the alpha which why wouldn’t you want to ride the alpha you can whistle and then you can send them to attack what ever you want but don’t send them against a spino or a Rex or something like that or else all your hard work of taming them will be gone but then when you send them against something they will shred it and you need 4 or more raptors for it to be considered a pack and note that you can’t tame wild alpha raptors any wild alphas in ark are untamable and your alpha is not going to be as strong as a wild alpha it’s not possible to get a alpha as strong as wild alphas another good thing about the raptor it’s a good harvester early in the game for hide and meat but another bad thing about raptors is that it has terrible stamina and terrible weight but it’s really fast I recommend you tame raptors there not as good as like spinos or rexes or that kind of stuff but they are really good
