This is possibly the only dino that's still will be effective from the beginning to the end stage, these things have a pack buff that really isn't gonna do anything to bosses,, but historical we always learn outnumbering an enemy is a guaranteed win, get two raptors and breed them together till you have a gang of them, put points mostly in health stamina and melee damage and with the pack buff these freaking machines will start attacking nonstop even if one deals 40 damage their fast strikes kill even brontosauruses

This proactive mount does every thing

Handy tip: they can’t pin you down if you’re in water.

I tamed about 20 of them and killed a bronto in like two seconds.

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.

If you watch the ARK: The Animated Series trailer you’ll get an exclusive cosmetic.

Do not use this for caves, you will die. I tried to run lower south today and I died and so did my raptor. I have done lower souths billions of times, never had I actually remotely struggled, I would even do it on foot. The new araneo tlc makes it impossible to use a raptor in caves do to the damage it will take. Everything was high level or max level and the raptor which did 600 damage with 6k health couldn’t survive. Just take a barry or a thyla but not a raptor.

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

Up so more people see this

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.
