Handy tip: they can’t pin you down if you’re in water. Like so more people can see.

I tamed about 20 of them and killed a bronto in like two seconds.

If you watch the ARK: The Animated Series trailer you’ll get an exclusive cosmetic.

When tamed, a raptor is a very fast and strong mount but they don't have very much carry weight. Level up weight, speed, and damage.

There mainly used for speed but are usually in packs if you tame one you should tame atleast 3 others to make sure the pack has some real heavy damge but they can hold much weight keep that in mind

Must tame. I scorched earth i have a lvl 49 one named Nike and it saved my house from a lvl 66 tek rex don't ask me how. Early game like day 2 this happened.

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.

Don’t listen to that goofy ahh lvl 20 uncle who said that there isn’t pack buff on mobile, yes there is it’s just not on raptors or compys the ones I know that have pack buff on mobile it’s allosaurus and dire wolves

The best early to mid game tame. Once you get just one, your hide and meat problems are made much less difficult. A high level with a pack of weaker raptors are enough to take down most regular Dino’s and the occasional alpha without losses.

I recommend leveling to around 2k~ hp assuming use of saddles. Then maxing damage. Stamina shouldn’t be an issue for high levels and most mid levels.

Bolas are recommended, crossbow/bow is nice, but slingshot can also do the job. Just don’t expect to tame the entire pack with bolas and a slingshot.

As a travel mount they are ok. Trikes are generally better because of their great knock back and weight early on.

Typically you’ll see packs of 3-2 but you can see packs of 6-7 if unlucky.

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.
