Playing w my noob friend on split screen ps4 and we were looking for a iggy at the edge of the swamp and we got jumped by a panicking raptor. Didn’t attack but we where scared silly and ran like a iggy. Found some dillos, tamed them, then the same raptor came and jumped me. I bolad it and was so excited to tame cus I never have. But my Dillo killed it 😐 yup so no raptor for me 😑
How to tame a raptor
1: Either trap or bola it (you can skip this if you want)
2: Knock it out, preferably using a slingshot or tranqs
3: Feed it meat, prime, or mutton (PC)
4: Enjoy your new raptor and equip a saddle on it to ride it
This is how I tamed my first raptor:
1:I prepared 3 parasaur kibbles and 30 meat
2:I started the pursuit hunt raptor to localise them.
3:I searched a good and a high rock
4:I went back to base and prepared 33 tranq arrows
5:I went where there’s raptor and I went on that high rock
6:I waited t’ill a raptor comes and gets stuck on the rock
7:I head/body shot the raptor until it was unconscious
8:I fed it some meat and I lost my kibble…
9:after 2mins of waiting it tamed up!
10:I bought it to base away from a baryonyx.
I also lost my trike on the way he’s named Tokiwor.
They are so fast. Do not approche when you are a beginner.
Get bola I say three so you don’t miss 15 raw meat and then if you know ones nearby knock something out so it gets distracted by it the the bola at it and don’t be scared,don’t flinch, and don’t miss that gives time for the rapter and if he pounces on you your screwed if you did snare it with a bola then beat it up in the back with a club because it can still attack you after it’s knocked out toss it some meat and a little bit of narcotics
Go die raptor 1 like = one dead raptor
Rapters whill attack your house or wall to get it to brake and get to you or your house
They can’t fight your mount. I killed like, 1M raptors with my Baryonyx.
It is very hard to tame raptors stand up on a rock
Alpha raptors are way too powerful this needs to be changed
As of the latest update raptors are a greater predator than Bill Cosby in the playground. They can dismount you from any Dino’s they would normally agro including argents and griffins. They don’t seem to poe a threat on therizinosaurs, wyverns or megatheriums.
Worth mentioning that they often travel in packs and like to attack from behind. If you're a low level player taming your first raptor, make sure his buddies aren't busy sneaking up on you.
If you, if your new to the game, think that raptors are super dangerous and powerful, then your wrong. I myself was one, and yet all you need to do is bola them and knock them out with preferably tranq arrows. Stuff it up with any meat, and this pet is useful for defense!
Ok, raptors are just EVIL. It killed me and I was just about to kill my first raptor on my own! But it HAD to kill me, ROAR! So, I’m going to try to tame and IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN I will kill them all.
For a player whose just starting out, these are a very dangerous creature to encounter. However, a handful of spears is all you need to protect yourself, and quick reflexes. The biggest advantage the raptor has is their speed, so if you're in an area where they're common, keep alert, because once one pounces you, you're basically dead.
A pack of lvl 1 raptors can deal more damage than a rex, these things are scary, make sure you don’t get pinned down by one of them. Hit markers go mad
