What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
After a long time of searching and breeding, i finally got a Pack of 6 Tek Raptor around Level 250 with Meele Damage around 400%. They do like 150 Damage with a crazy fast attacking Speed. Because of the saddle, they got Damage Reduction by 20%. Please everyone stop always saying Raptors are useless and wolfes are better!
Raptors are anazing, damn cool mounts!
Bola the raptor, go behind it and club till unconscious, and then feed it raw meat and if the unconsciousness is going down fast, just give it narcotics, pretty easy to make at low level, i recommend to feed it 3 narcotics or 2,, I tamed a level 2 Raptor in less than 10 minutes with that method, just for it to die to a spinosaurus, so definitely come with a saddle :) , please like
When I was on island I was looking around the forest like trees and stuff. When one of these guys came up to me, I it started attacking me. I try to kill a dodo earlier but I was out of stamina, and I couldn't fight back so don't try to kill a dodo.
How to tame a raptor!!!
Now,let’s start packing
You will need
1:Raw meat
2:narcotic (if you have motor and pestle)
3:bow and arrow(tranq arrows.you don’t want to kill the thing)
4:bolas(it’s always safe to bring extras)
5:a club
Now that we are done packing,let’s see what kind of taming mode you wanna do
Mode 1:Get on top of a rock and shoot it with tranqs and a bola
Mode2:hit it with a club or fists
Choose one of those modes and go try it!
Always carry around at least 1 bola. They can be death sentence for raptors. If you see a pack of them, stay away until you are confident you can take them on (have a decent pack of dinosaurs).
There flipping annoying every time a raptor tries to kill me I always DIE BECAUSE IT FLIPPING LATCHES ON TO YOU
If you are new, start learning how to make bolas NOW!!! You are more likely to survive if you have some.
Use a bola and tranq arrows on a crossbow
Stay careful with them in beginning and otherwise they are best tame in the beginning after trike according to me
For mobile players only…
There is lots of raptors in the southern isles.
Most of them are by the mountains obviously,
But if your looking for them go there.
MOBILE 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.
Took my two raptors out to get some raw fish/meat around the map. I was riding my 125 and my 107 was following. Until I realize up ahead there’s a pack of 130 raptors up ahead. I tried going around them but had to fight anyways. My 107 had died fighting a 130 and 135 while I my 125 was low fighting a 139. We barely made it out since my raptor was about 102 HP and out Stamina running form the others 4 raptors.
1 like/up = one respect for Robber ( the one that died )
These guys are pretty easy to tame if not high level. Just take a crossbow and a few tranq darts and shoot ast it but make sure they haven't noticed you. When it comes closer bola it and continue shooting until it's knocked out. Feed em Raw meat, they don't need much of it. They're useful too, but some things that aren't so well:
-they cant carry a lot of things
-they have low stamina
-they don't have much health
-they may be fast but are super slow in water, even high level raptors
Its kinda annoying that they are so slow In water, if you're lucky, 1 or 2 megapiranhas will attack you. If you're Unlucky, (Mantas sometimes) Cnidarias and megapiranhas can also come. Megalodons is pretty rare tho, depending on where you are.
Bye chat 🫡
When I was playing primal fear I saw a raptor and started to run. Suddenly I remembered a human against a raptor is a win for humans so I turned around and fought it! Then this message appeared: you were killed by an alpha raptor level 204. Oops...
If there's one, there's probably another.
There are quite a number of mistakes to be made with these guys, and I’m gonna list them off now.
Mistake No. #1: Encountering a raptor and assuming there’s only one and thus only crafting one bola, only to be outnumbered 3-1.
Reason: Raptors are pack hunters, and ACTIVELY WANT you to think there’s only one nearby so that they can use the element of surprise to overwhelm you and shred through you like paper.
How to avoid: Always carry MULTIPLE bolas. DO NOT think that you’re gonna be safe if you only have one. Besides, to re-craft it every single time is a hassle.
Mistake No. #2: Equipping the bola at the last second because you think that one Ascendant weapon you have is gonna save you.
Reason: You’re not tough. Just face it. Yeah, I see that Ascendant bow you got there, or that sword or shotgun or whatever it is you have. But if you get pounced, that’s your main weakness and their main strength. If you’ve come underprepared, you’re already dead at that point.
How to avoid: Always wield the bola FIRST if you suspect a raptor to be nearby. Otherwise, it’s basically attempted suicide.
Mistake No. #3: Actively hunting a raptor with the intention to tame it and thus coming underprepared.
Reason: When trying to tame raptors, it can get easy to feel all powerful and invincible if you’re really good at killing them to begin with. Therefore, you might get rid of a few items to shed some weight from your inventory so that you can focus on what you need for the taming process. But you’ll probably regret it if you get ambushed.
How to avoid: Never underestimate raptors based on your intentions or other predispositions, as you never know if others are nearby. As you’re probably starting to understand by now, where there’s one, there’s a likelihood for there to be more.
Mistake No. #4: Trying to counter 3 wild raptors with one tamed raptor and being surprised when BOTH you AND it get killed.
Reason: That one tamed raptor you have ain’t gonna save you if you’re dealing with 3 other raptors. At that point you’re outnumbered 3-2. And that raptor can still be pounced, meaning it might as well not exist.
How to avoid: If you HAVE to use tamed raptors against wild ones, always ensure you have at least 2 or more following you so that one pounce doesn’t mean that that particular journey ends there.
Mistake No. #5: Trying to loot the inventory of what you just killed without waiting to see if the danger warning goes away.
Reason: This applies to all aggressive creatures, but especially when it comes to raptors, you can think you’re in the clear, and then get killed by one because you thought you were safe just because you killed ONE.
How to avoid: Always keep your eyes open. Don’t just assume you’re safe just because you killed ONE THING. If the danger warning is still there after 3 seconds, you ARE NOT out of the woods yet.
When you are teaming the raptor don't get too close with it if you get enough close the raptor will jump on you and kill you
