What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To escape a raptor i reccomend having a bola on you. Running while being chased by a raptor will not save you unless you pump into movement speed. You should bola the raptor first then run away, kill it, or tame it.
You can knock out a raptor by hitting it in the face with one or two tranq arrows you cannot take the alpha raptors but I had a pack of eleven raptors at level fifty and I killed the alpha raptor in seconds with no casualties and it gets you cool items and prime meat
I tried taming one of these but miserably failed, I then had to use my parasaurolophus Peter to get my loot back. He then died but I got my loot and killed the evil raptor. RIP Peter
The raptor, fast, deadly, commonish, it's easy to knock out yet harder to maintain it, you gotta feed it about a stack of meat (raw) each day and it will last or spoil, but it's more than worth it, tips: wild; use Bola then use tranqs or your fists, tamed; one stack meat per day will last, but nothing wrong getting more!, if you change dino add per level in settings on the host/local in advanced, you can make it like 500 hp add and it'll be almost tougher than a giga, if you do 33006 hp 45330 Stam 45000 food 50000 weight 300 speed 680 dmg you will be able to fight a giga with that thing. Good luck taming though! They hunt in pairs like 2-5, if you find a lone one it's most likely alpha as they come in 1's, and sometimes a pack has one alpha even, so good luck! Hope you get that op raptor! Up if it was helpful!
Try find a single Rapter if your bad like me or 2playler olfline have alot of bolas
Step 1
Craft a bola
Step 2
Gather meet atleast 15
Step 3
Find a raptor
Step 4
Stan in a safe distance
Step 5
When raptor run towards u through bola on him
Step 6
Go backside of raptor and start punching him until his is unconscious
Step 7
Put food in his bag and wait for tame
Tame: bola or stand on a rock not accessible to the raptor then either slingshot it until it runs or beat it with a bat until it falls unconscious next you feed it lots of meat then you wait for the tame
If u encounter an alpha raptor get on a high rock and use a bow or a sling shot and some bola’s and hit it if u encounter a regular raptor that has 200 health then just hit it with ur hands or a wooden club and jump around so it doesn’t jump on u or just run around so it doesn’t try to jump on u.
How to tame when your low level in ark
Step 1:craft bola,slingshot or wooden club, and narcotics
Step 2:find raptor
Step 3:trap the raptor using bola
Step 4:knock it out
Step 5:you can have the raptor
To tame one you want to put them in a wooden cage and nock them out and then after they are tame destroy the cage and you got your self a nice raptor. I hope I could help some of you out
Very fast and pretty strong starter dino. If you have 3 or more raptors tamed you get a pack bonus wich boosts all nearby tamed raptors stats. If you get like 6 raptors you have a pretty strong group of dinos and you can start grinding for example keratin. In pvp it also has this attack that picks players of their mount so you can kill them for loot.
Instead of bola-ing your friend and then running how about bola-ing the raptor
If you encounter a alpha raptor,make a cage and get inside it and leave the door open.once it gets in attack it as quick as you can,since it cant pounce on you cuse your in a cage it makes it easier.(this dosent work for starter players with no chitin armor or sword)
When I was lever 16 I tamed 2 Raptors named Barry and Angel. When I was in a swampy area I set them on passive so I could tame a new creature but some titanotobas ganged up on me but right before I got knocked out I set them to aggressive and killed all of them when I was knocked out but they died 3 days later to a Therizinosaur
Quick tip if you have a wooden base and a raptor is chasing you go inside of your base and it will attack your base and then tranq it out and boom you got a raptor ( It can’t do damage on wood )
Get a Pair of high level ones and breed them.
You will end up with an army in no time and these little suckers will shred anything, even alpha karkinos or basilisks on aberration are hillariously easy to kill. And you can farm trilobites just pouncing up and down the rivers with a pack in tow. Just hit one and your pack will finish the job and remember to use the packs hunting call
Funny seen this playing around with many dilophosaur LOL. (after that raptor see me and eat me) :(
Step 1= bola the raptor
Step 2= use tranq arrows or slingshot to knock unconscious
Step 3= feed it raw meat, raw mutton, kibble, etc. (basically any type of meat)
Step 4= force feed it narcotics when about to be conscious
just bring a high level trike and use it as bait and bola the raptor
