Tips & Strategies
Mobile players, be warned! There is a chance when using the pounce ability with your raptor on an extremely small target (cough, meganeura cough) or when pouncing into a tree the game can glitch and land u in the northern part of the redwood biome! (very possibly coordinated at 50 50- the same coordinates a wild quetzal will eventually reach and stay in if it's startled.) So far it has happened three times to me, all when I was in the south of the island. So far i still don't know exactly what triggers the teleport So it's more a nuisance than utility. The glitch will deposit u in the sky So ur raptor will take fall damage and will be left to face all the threats of the redwood. Because of this i recommend either do not use pounce too much in the southern regions of the island or make sure ur raptor is not very heavily burdened. (So it can fight or run if needed) It is not a life threatening glitch, my raptor survived all three teleports and made its way safely back to the pack at the southern coast, but it is annoying and might disrupt ur plans. So, just bear that in mind. I hope this helps.

Handy tip: they canβt pin you down if youβre 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 youβll 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.
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.
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
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.
Donβt listen to that goofy ahh lvl 20 uncle who said that there isnβt pack buff on mobile, yes there is itβs just not on raptors or compys the ones I know that have pack buff on mobile itβs allosaurus and dire wolves
Up so more people see this
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.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Up so newbies can see :)
Just for people to know this is a Utahraptor not a velociraptor. A velociraptor is about the size of a turkey.
