What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The best way to tame them is to get a wyvern, and pick them up and take them to your desired location. Don’t drop it in a box, but instead hover low to the ground while your friend shoots it. This has worked a number of times with me and I hope it will serve you well.
Always carry tranqs with longneck rifle. If you want to kill some, get a sniper of assault rifle with over 10 ammo
Do not attack an alpha, it is freaking over powered, killed my Rex! A freaking Rex vs a raptor and the .raptor won
Make sure you lock your doors.
The raptor is a strong and fast mount . It's good for beginners and a tame.
Craft a bola craft a tranq arrow and crossbow or bow stuck it in a position with a bola star hitting it with a bow with tranq arrows headshots are more effective when its unconcious feed it parasaur kibble if your a begginer and you don’t know what a kibble is just feed it raw meat
Bring plenty of meat and have multiple bolas ready to go because chances are you will run into more than one. We went out hunting for hide and found not one or two, but four all hanging out on top of a hill. My partner had not caught up yet and the first one went agro. Threw a bola, hit second was already agro and jumped on me. She destroyed almost all of my armor before my partner caught up and freed me. The second ran off into the woods and we thought she was gone. We were unloading meat onto the first unconscious raptor when the second returned and killed my partner. I wasn’t fast enough with the bola to save her, but I did manage to tame the raptor while she was distracted. We ended up pulling 3 out of 4 raptors out of that hunting trip. The fourth ran off into the woods after somehow escaping the bola and never came back. We named the highest level Blue and the one that killed my partner (ICKitty) Kiki for Kitty Killer.
These juys will kill you in seconds so get a bola and a lot of meat and narcodics with a bow make sure you have narcoarrows and you have yourself a raptor wich can kill trikes.
tame them as soon as you can. make like 6 bolas even if you see one alone, it's friends are very likely near by. use tranc arrows or bat when bola'd and bola the rest of they come to defend him
easily shred any low level threat early in game with 3-4 raptors, I've taken several carnos out
Raptors are an easy tame using bola and tranquil arrows but like to start things they can't handle
Tamed 5 almost two 4 died one from me I left one in my base that's still alive☺
These can be incredibly useful by themselves or in a pack. By themselves at low level they are a decent mount but lack in carry weight so up that. At higher levels they can take even take on Carnos but I would never single handedly take on on an Allo. In a pack (5+) they are a formidable force that could easily take on a bronto or even an Allo (assuming your raptors are highish level). All aside I absolutely love raptors and have a hobby of breeding them. 9/10 would recommend.
Get 3 name them (not stereotypes get)
Ching
Chang
Chong
Get on top of a house then shoot it with a tranquilizer arrow
They just take your house and live in it... they did it with me haha. But use bola than slingshot or narc arrows. They are really fast, bit have less weight. Upgrade the weight speed and health, i upgraded attack damage and dont.
Keep them from other animals. Mine keeps attacking my pets and murdered a new born baby castoroide i saw it attacking it through the window of my animal carrier and found tge dead body. At the moment hes been targeting castoriodes so keep them apart
yo can get up a steep hill then shoot trank arrows at it
Make sure you don't have a pack of raptors because they mantrap you
