Do not get so scared when you see a raptor just craft a bola which is cheap,it traps the raptors for 30secs which is more then enough to shoot it with tranqs or hit it with a club

They are fast, faster and more intelligent than you think. Bola them and attack them from behind. They are easy to tame but difficult to escape. Just be as responsive as you can.

If you bola it make sure to stand near the back if you hit it at the front it will hit you

So when I was taming one (about 3 minutes from when this was put on here) I went to dododex to see how much raw meat it needs, so after, I put 9 pieces in it's inventory, and when it was 88.9 % tamed and then a THERIZENOSAUR COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND KILLS IT RIGHT WHEN IT'S TAMED!

Breed these with Rexes. Legend says their babies will attack anything you point a laser pointer at.

If early game and have no mount It is knock out or die as the are so fast.

If your levels are too low to craft pteranodon saddle i recommend you riding a raptor

How to tame (VERY EASY): craft a bow. Craft tranq arrows. Shoot the raptor three times. Shove food down its throat until it decides to be you friend :). (I did this on mobile and idk if it works the same way of pc)

uses for pvp:

early game protection: raptors are decently strong, and a pack can take down threats much larger than itself.

Raiding? you bet! : This Tactic Will require two players on a tribe.

the first player pounces the player you are raiding.

the second player starts tranquilizing the player you are raiding.

the pounce will not let the raid target move, nor attack. the tranqs are to render this effect permanent. (cuz he'll be knocked out)

mid game uses: not a whole lot they are good for... backup mounts is what i use them for.

late game: ... what? you thought there would be a use late game? yeah right.

whoever said they were pounced by an alpha raptor, you meant normal raptor, alpha raptors dont pounce

They are the best starter tames if u live in danger areas I had a pair of them I breed them and now I have 6 I killed 2 high level allosourus and 3 therizino and 3 spino with them they are op of u breed right ones

The raptor is an easy tame taking bout 2 traq arrows to knock. I fed it normal meat and it tamed very very fast.

If u are a low level just bola a single raptor. After they are trapped quickly knock them out. Raptors eat meat. They are fast and decently strong. RIP Clyde.

Very useful tame early on and quite easy to tame as well just bola the legs then club away raw meat and like less than 5 min u have a raptor then upgrade weight to around 250+ then u have a fast ride that can jump and hold people and animals down ultimately a very useful tame

For those of you who have been trying to build a pack, one raptor at a time. Build a 4x4 wooden box. Put one doorway, and make sure there is an extra wall above the door. Put ramps on the opposite side of the door. Find a pack nearby, agro them, and lead them over the ramps and into the box. Exit the door quickly. From then on it's literally like shooting fish in a barrel.

You will need a lot of tranqs, depending on how many are in the pack, and a lot of meat. Don't worry if some of them are low level. The raptor strategy is strength in numbers.

Get enough raptors and you will be unstoppable.

Easy tame for beginners Step

1. Craft about 6 bolas because they are mostly the in packs

2.use bola on raptor(s)

3. Tranq till knock out and feed meat

4.harvest extra Narcoberries

5. Take it from there👍👍

Before I hit ten days in ark I already had several of them and a sarco we are unstoppable

To tame one you simply need

2 bolas in case you miss the first

A slingshot (25 rocks) at most

And 7 meat more or less

Make sure that you throw the bola before the raptor jumps on you and get a male and female and breed about 3 times and that should be enough early on protection

To tame a sarco check out my other post on its tab

Sincerely lonely dodo

Fairly easy tame. Try to bola it. Just don’t get pounced on or your dead. Knock it out with club, and feed it. Boom. That’s how I got my 2 raptors star and moon.

Hey if your a mobile user and you want to breed anything and need to turn on wandering to get rapter tres or how ever many put a bunch of rocks in their inventory to encumber them so the cant run away feom froced baby making

These creatures have insane speed and are able to out run a new player. The ones I’m near spawn near beach’s because there’s lots of things to kill there. Anyways back to the tip. Raptors CAN live in packs but some are alone, try to find a alone raptor. You don’t need much to tame one, go ahead and get a few narcotics and raw meat. Stand on a rock and wait for it to come to your fire range. Shoot the animal, once it’s down feed it raw meat and wait. Congrats you tamed a raptor! You can up it’s speed so it’s a speed demon, or something else. Raptors have a alt attack that it can jump on small prey and rip it apart. Saddles are worth it, don’t carry to many items though. Happy traveling!
