Ark, whenever I encounter a raptor it always pounces on me and kills me and I can’t do anything about it if I’m alone or something, can you change the game so at least I can kick or punch the raptor some? I’d probably still die but at least I could express some of my annoyance and anger on this thing. ⬆️ if you think this is a decent idea! 👍👌

I made my own raptor pack I'm king on the server I have over 54 raptorsa (#lag)

Literally just started. Running round in me undies. Trying to build a base. Admim dude comes along and straight yeeted a raptor coming for me. He then proceeded to slaughtet the pack that was on my vunerable ass. Thank you Dear Leader

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

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.

The best early to mid game tame. Once you get just one, your hide and meat problems are made much less difficult. A high level with a pack of weaker raptors are enough to take down most regular Dino’s and the occasional alpha without losses.

I recommend leveling to around 2k~ hp assuming use of saddles. Then maxing damage. Stamina shouldn’t be an issue for high levels and most mid levels.

Bolas are recommended, crossbow/bow is nice, but slingshot can also do the job. Just don’t expect to tame the entire pack with bolas and a slingshot.

As a travel mount they are ok. Trikes are generally better because of their great knock back and weight early on.

Typically you’ll see packs of 3-2 but you can see packs of 6-7 if unlucky.

If you want to trap a raptor, they can fit through doorframes but they cannot fit through doorframes with a wall on top. If you skipped the doorframe and just had an elevated wall they couldn’t go through because of their hit box.

At one point I found a alpha tek raptor but when I tried to spawn a alpha tek raptor myself it did not work

put speed in to level ups and name it Sonic

Stay careful with them in beginning and otherwise they are best tame in the beginning after trike according to me

These creatures are fantastic! If you ask it to target a animal, like a para it can kill it it like, 2 seconds.

How To Tame:

1. I recommend being high like on a rock.

2. Bola it

3. Make sure to be behind the raptor, you can knock it out with fists, club, traq, etc.

4. Feed it raw meat if you don’t have anything else ( You can use soothing balm.)

5. Name your raptor! Enjoy!

If you ever encounter a raptor;

•Try to bola it if you have one and escape.

•If you don't have a bola,Run through trees and rocks in a zigzag way, creatures in ark are a bit too dumb in chasing.

•If there aren't many trees or rocks,for ex: you are in a plane area,try to lure the raptor to a passive or herbivores dino,like trikes,carbos,or even some moschops.

•If there isn't anything mentioned above then there's one way, Die and recollect the items.🤪

Once I tamed a Raptor and named her Emerald. She was a beautiful green level 38 Raptor. Once another level 5 Raptor killed me, so I took her to get revenge on that stupid little pest. However, as she was killing it, I accidentally clicked on an ad (I play on Mobile) and she disappeared. I tried to whistle for her, but she didn’t come back.

Should I tame a raptor? (

100

I’ll tame a raptor!)

These ruthless predators will kill you and all five of your dodos trust me I have experience

If high energy level these things can be monsters and beat caves in a heartbeat.

I was just walking all of a sudden you have entered a dangerous area I watch a alpha raptor maul a spino

I encountered a alpha raptor, he tore down my wooden walls and killed all my dodos, I’ve of course died for trying to save my babies. I stood up on my stone house and shot it, I was a noob at that time. Tried to tame it (didn’t know it couldn’t happen) so I cheesed it from on top with my Trang arrows, over 30 of them.

It’s recommended to build your house in a material that it can’t break

I tamed my first raptor by putting down 2 wood foundations then two walls on one of the long sides, and placed a ramp, I ran up the ramp got him distracted with the wall, stood on top of the ramp and shot him with narco arrows until he took a well deserved nap.

This absolute demon circled my tiny house for over TWENTY MINUTES when i first started out on extinction
