Tips & Strategies
Raptors aren’t great in combat, but can usually help you out of an early game scrape so here’s a guide to tame one.
1. Raptors are all over the jungles in the southern half of the island, sometimes wandering down to the beach. They often spawn in groups so watch out for multiple. Kill all others you don’t want, because they will make taming really annoying.
2. Raptors can be bola’d so use that to trap them as they run towards you. IF TAMING MULTIPLE IN ONE PACK, bola them ALL before you start shooting, or they will harass you as you try to tranq the first one you bola. Once they are all bola’d tranq them in the order of first bola’d to last. That way the one that will break free soonest is tranqed first. If you are taming lots in one group and you can’t tranq them all before they break out, tranq as many as you can then get away and wait for the bola cooldown to reset, then repeat. You will need about 5 tranq arrows per max level or 3 tranq darts
3. I recommend feeding them prime meat, because it is readily accessible and saves a lot of taming effectiveness, but if you have simple kibble definitely use it for the extra levels. On official it’ll take 17ish prime, vs around 7 on single player.
Happy taming!

These guys are stupid annoying late game, they’re just like rats.
—TIP TIME—
PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?
If you have ever set foot on the Island, you should know that these guys have zero chill. They will attack everything and anything in sight, no matter the size(you’ll often see one raptor challenge a rex). So STAY AWAY if you are a low level and don’t want to get cooked.
TAMING
These guys are relatively easy to tame, only needing a bola and some tranq arrows, or possibly a club if it’s a low enough level. Torpor is alright, I didn’t find myself shoving narcotics down its throat when I tamed it. Put some meat in their inventory(or some prime meat, but I wouldn’t waste any on a raptor) and viola! You got yourself a raptor!
USES
These guys are FAST. Like, very fast. But, with yin comes yang, their weight is horrible. I find myself constantly upgrading weight to get this fat dino to move at a speed more than 0.1 mph. They are strong, with fast attacks, AND they have a very OP attack that pins down smaller creatures and dismounts riders! When they are pinned, constant attacks will cause you to rip their insides out while they are on the floor! So fun :). To do this attack on mobile, swipe down on the left hand side of the screen. These guys are VERY good early game tames, with their saddle unlocking at only LEVEL 18 :o
Anyway, hope this tutorial helps!
Peace out,
