Encountering Tips

How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They killed me and killed me again. Don't go near them. I tamed one then the rest of the pack came after me.
So this thing is a beast it can pounce.Me and my pteranodon almost died from a pack. Be careful near these guys i now have an argy and sometimes i pick the Raptors up using the argy and attack them. They still bite tho so i try to kill them with my argy as fast as I can.So yeah alpha tho i just try to run away.I do have my own raptor which i dont use as much but still care about.Thats my encounters for these guys :p
This is if you encounter a an alpha raptor near the shore. The best option I've found is to use a longneck rifle with a scope. Dump all your things into a raft with a chest, once you're stripped attract the alpha raptor to the edge of the shore and let it kill you.Respawn on or near your raft with all your things and take it out to the raptor but maintain a far enough distance that it doesn't chase after you. from there croutch so you get a steady shot and use the longneck and scope to shoot at it. It depends on the level but I managed to take out a level 10 with this strategy. Make SURE YOU HAVE LOTS OF AMMO. Good luck friends.
If you are on small mount like sabertooth then make circle movemeny to fight them. They cant grab you but you can attack them easly.of course its depend level of your dino and raptor.
We all have a love and hate relationship with raptors....why are they so loyal
2 tranq from crossbow to knock I think 3-4 with bow and if your a bob the best way to deal with them is a trike or stego
As soon as you see these …RUN * heavy metal guitar music *
Listen! Right before they jump you you hear that pitter-patter of impending doom, so donn your sword and spam the attack button!
He protect
He attack
And he break your back
If you tame this it will make weird noises
I was walking around with my otter (level 246) and I encountered a alpha Raptor and It’s pack my otter full on slayed the raptors and lost almost no health in the process
WHY DOES EVERYBODY KEEP CALLING THEM VELOCIRAPTORS??? THESE ARE UTAHRAPTORS, VEKOCIRAPTOR WERE THE SIZE OF A PLUMP TURKEY WITH A TWO-METER LONG TAIL!
Never Bring raptors to the swamp. I went in with 8 and came out with 2.(still can’t get over the deaths)
You can kill these with a hatchet. I was minding my own business when I start getting hit by a lev 7. Hit it with the primitive club till it was knocked out then finished it with a hatchet. I’m level 5 and new to ark.
I was almost about to tame a beautiful female tapejara that had different shades of green but that’s when two of these raptors came and finished it off while it was sleeping😔 but then I accidentally dismounted my flyer and one jumped onto me and started biting my face but that’s when my fly(a pteradon) attack the raptor so the raptor died and I knocked out the other one and my flyer killed it when it was knocked out, as I will say, Teamwork makes the dream work😍 tho now I gotta find another lv 19 tapejara that has 9+ levels once tamed 😔
For some reason, if you’re using the on-screen buttons on mobile, hold the attack button with a tool/melee weapon before the raptor pins you. You’ll still be attacking it, and it can’t dodge because it can’t move. Easy way to kill raptors, if you aren’t afraid to take damage. No idea if/how this works for the KO.
Don’t bother trying to knock out an alpha, or stun it. It will do nothing.
If you see ONE, it’s not the one that will kill you.
These guys are the reason you should always have a stack of bolas and have them in your hand while you're wandering around. Taming is just that. Bola, shoot a few tranq darts to the head and it will go down easy. Make sure to kill the rest of its pack first as they like to travel in packs
I was at level 11 when I tamed my first raptor and I did the usual but used a slingshot and I was able to knock out a level 7 TEK RAPTOR!! I looked it up and tek raptors are rare to find I called her robotics she’s black and red, I’m very proud of my lucky find, hope y’all get a tek raptor to!
