ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
uses for pvp:
early game protection: raptors are decently strong, and a pack can take down threats much larger than itself.
Raiding? you bet! : This Tactic Will require two players on a tribe.
the first player pounces the player you are raiding.
the second player starts tranquilizing the player you are raiding.
the pounce will not let the raid target move, nor attack. the tranqs are to render this effect permanent. (cuz he'll be knocked out)
mid game uses: not a whole lot they are good for... backup mounts is what i use them for.
late game: ... what? you thought there would be a use late game? yeah right.
More Raptor Utility Tips
Some things make life so much easier and a high level raptor is one of them. They are easy to tame, good for killing other things and if you put lots of levels into health, weight and speed you can use then to tame others. Who needs a trap to tame a rex when you can shoot it with a cross bow, hop on your raptor and run forward and repeat. A large group also helps.
Handy tip: they canโt pin you down if youโre 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 youโll 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.
I shall create an army.....I'll be unstoppable

Up so more people see this
This is a utility guide for raptors!(check my taming tip and please by the way this is for mobile players)first of all they are fast and have a pretty decent damage for their size they can't carry too much but can be leveled up for that,they spawn in packs of at least 2 and gets pack buffs(if i'm right)they can be saddled at level 18(as I remember)and can be tamed rather easily they have a normal bite attack AKA the primary attack and have the ability to pounce onto smaller creatures,swipe down on the left side of your screen to pounce,they love meat and will be a good companion for early game!
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.
