Really difficult to rate... It's a fast, deadly (yeah well deadly in packs), fearsome predator if you're on foot. But almost no sweat with a good mount. Even if they manage to pin u your mount should be able to make short work of them due to the relatively low health. Good for starter tames, not very well for mid to late game due to their low weight, health, and limited utility. I usually play on easy where u can knock a lv1 ～ lv 12 raptor out with only one bola and your fists. The earliest pack hunter available, but not the best option especially since there's a limit to how many u can tame(well, at least on mobile) i recommend skipping them and go right on to tame direwolves or allosaurs as they are also pack hunters but do it at least slightly better.

This is possibly the only dino that's still will be effective from the beginning to the end stage, these things have a pack buff that really isn't gonna do anything to bosses,, but historical we always learn outnumbering an enemy is a guaranteed win, get two raptors and breed them together till you have a gang of them, put points mostly in health stamina and melee damage and with the pack buff these freaking machines will start attacking nonstop even if one deals 40 damage their fast strikes kill even brontosauruses

Handy tip: they can’t pin you down if you’re in water.

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

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.

Do not use this for caves, you will die. I tried to run lower south today and I died and so did my raptor. I have done lower souths billions of times, never had I actually remotely struggled, I would even do it on foot. The new araneo tlc makes it impossible to use a raptor in caves do to the damage it will take. Everything was high level or max level and the raptor which did 600 damage with 6k health couldn’t survive. Just take a barry or a thyla but not a raptor.

Just for people to know this is a Utahraptor not a velociraptor. A velociraptor is about the size of a turkey.

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.
