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.

A really funny thing you can do with alpha raptors is to get a rhynio, lure an alpha raptor to the beach, and get it to swim after you in the ocean. If it loses interest and becomes passive, then get close to it and dismount on your rhynio and it should start swimming after you again. Then when it gets too close you can fly some distance away, dismount, and it will start chasing you again. Do this a few dozen times and you can trick the alpha raptor into swimming to herbivore island or any other crazy location since alphas can't drown.

You can also leave the alpha raptor at sea then fly away from it until it disappears in your render distance and forget about it since it will never despawn, drown, or even move so you can go to it later to kill it.

Bonus tip: if you dismount on your rhynio, your rhynio will automatically start regenerating stamina in the air after 5 seconds.

Can wildcard make it so alpha raptors aren’t so deadly in ase. Tbh they break the speed of sound

It’s the thing I die to the most in ark (2nd is troodons)

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

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.

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.
