Tips & Strategies
Find a high level Male & Female Raptor, preferably over level 100 (this is only recommended for higher levels) then once you have tamed them (try and tame them as perfect as possible) start breeding them as much as you possibly can, even if that means getting another high level female, then make sure your base is enclosed with walls etc then let them roam free around the base, if you have loads of raptors they will defend your base really well because of how fast they are and how strong making them a reliable defence Dino.

This thing is actually very easy to tame. All you need is a slingshot with around 20-30 ammo and 2 bolas(prepare some meat to tame).
You're likely find them in a group of 3. Lite one out and bola it while it sprinting towards you, then fire 4-5 shots and bola it again. Make sure there's no threats around the area, it will take around 5 minutes to tame.
How to tame.
1. Use bola
2. Shove it full of narcotic arrows.
3. Shove it full of meat.
4. (If necessary), Shove it full of narcotics.
There you go, you got a raptor
Dinodude8’s tip for taming! ( a new series of taming info for all the creatures possible. If I get to 10 Uhpvutes (I did that on purpose!) on this I will do dilo😄.) STEP 1: get bolas, Narcotic arrows, and a lot of meat (preferably prime but anything will do) weapons and some sustainable armor (if possible do it with friends! For fun and effectiveness, just make sure you tell them that you are TAMING it…not killing it. I learned that the hard way) STEP 2: find a raptor. Look at ark wiki for locations if you need help. Bola it and either take out or if you have bolas to spare and enough meat tame the other packmates. STEP 3: Once it has been knocked out feed it meat. And then…you have a raptor! P.S if you want. Craft a saddle beforehand so you can ride it back to base.
Tame a few 150's, breed them, and you'll be Chris Pratt in no time.
These guys are stupid annoying late game, they’re just like rats.
—TIP TIME—
PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?
If you have ever set foot on the Island, you should know that these guys have zero chill. They will attack everything and anything in sight, no matter the size(you’ll often see one raptor challenge a rex). So STAY AWAY if you are a low level and don’t want to get cooked.
TAMING
These guys are relatively easy to tame, only needing a bola and some tranq arrows, or possibly a club if it’s a low enough level. Torpor is alright, I didn’t find myself shoving narcotics down its throat when I tamed it. Put some meat in their inventory(or some prime meat, but I wouldn’t waste any on a raptor) and viola! You got yourself a raptor!
USES
These guys are FAST. Like, very fast. But, with yin comes yang, their weight is horrible. I find myself constantly upgrading weight to get this fat dino to move at a speed more than 0.1 mph. They are strong, with fast attacks, AND they have a very OP attack that pins down smaller creatures and dismounts riders! When they are pinned, constant attacks will cause you to rip their insides out while they are on the floor! So fun :). To do this attack on mobile, swipe down on the left hand side of the screen. These guys are VERY good early game tames, with their saddle unlocking at only LEVEL 18 :o
Anyway, hope this tutorial helps!
Peace out,
