What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Be careful! These guys can jump and knock you off your saddle! I got dismounted from my lvl 53. Carno!
I killed an Alpha that was to close to my base ( I must give some of the credit to my argy who the the killing I just harvested the body to get the prime meat)
I used a bola and loaded the sucker with Raw Prime, honestly try it if you have extra RPM
Get a bola in your main and a primitive bow loaded with tranq arrows. Start winding up bola when you see a lone raptor and get closer until it notices you and starts running towards you. When it gets close, bola it. Two or more tranqs to the head later its out. (Remember to aim for the head, its more efficient.) Give it some meat and you got yourself a 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)
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.
Here's an easy way to deal with alpha raptors : step one : once you get to lvl 35 you'll get the hunt terror bird pursuit make sure to unlock the sword.. then use a flyer like a pteranadon to go to he redwoods.. you can use a sword to kill them like the pursuit tells you or use something else to kill it like the flyer you have.. oh yeah I forgot you need lvl 38 for a pteranadon saddle so wait until you have that then go do it..once you kill three the pursuit is completed and you'll get an ascendant sword that can do up to 800 damage if you have high enough melee damage... 236%.. then if you dont have a raptor already get a raptor and put a saddle on... then clear out all the normal raptors that you don't want cause they can pounce you.. an alpha raptor can't pounce once your done clearing all the normal raptors nearby pounce the alpha raptor with a tamed raptor and use your ascendant sword to finish it off. You can use weopons on a raptors back.
Here’s how to tame one noobs step one make a bola step two get prime meat from baby Dino’s find and bola a raptor knock it out with club and boom. You have raptor up if this was helpful
Remove their pouncing and i would be so happy.
HOW TO SURVIVE A RAPTOR ENCOUNTER:Raptors aren’t the brightest so if you have spikes place one in front of the raptor,the creature will stay behind the spikes allowing you to escape.If you don't have spikes then you can use a bola to temporarily stop it from moving, and in that time you can run away from it.If you don't have any of these then good luck getting away from that thing 😂 might as well just try killing it.
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
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) :(
