If you want to escape as a low level, have a bola ready and throw it or upgrade your movement speed until it gets higher than 112%.

If you want to fight it as a low level, use a bola and quickly attack it from the back.

Beware of Alphas, They are much faster than a normal raptor and deal tons of damage, but they can’t pin you onto the ground or give a buff to other raptors in the area.(because that would be too op)

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.

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.

The first time i came across a raptor, it was level 60 and i shot it in the face once. It jumped on me and i swear i was dead, but it ended up going unconscious. Later they got murdered after i was jumped by 5 titanboas and 4 other raptors… i would never be where I’m at now if it wasn’t for them.

Remember that this bad boy is always in a group of 2 - 3 and if u saw only 1 looking around for victim .. boy you better check your surrounding it might be a trap to lure a player in!!

Dimorph swarms can kill almost anything without taking any hits except for these because of the pounce mechanic. However if you have enough this isn't an issue, and alpha raptors can't pounce so dimorphs are my personal easiest way to kill them.

I had a alpha near my base then it agroed on my spike walls then I was shivering I took out my cross bow and was shooting it then it glitches though the world I'm so happy 🤣😂

If you’re being chased by a/some raptors and you need to get them off you, try running over to a more passive Dino and run around it to ditch the raptors with said Dino giving you more time to get away :)

To escape one of these, you'll require +250% movement speed. Or you could just throw that Bola at it.

run away if you see this if your new. run away more if its a alpha

I saw a lv 20 alpha raptor and t the time I was taming a stego so I was on my Iguanadon backing away it was attacking the stego so I atacked then I was like screw this and ran away

If you ever encounter an alpha raptor in the wild and you’re unprepared, kill something like a dodo or a listro and lead it to the body. It should stop aggroing on you and will by you some time to escape. If that doesn’t work, find something like a trike and make the raptor accidentally hit it. They should start fighting while you run away.

When attacked Run under water and use spear

Beware, They have almost the highest DPS rate of all creatures.

Bring a bola.but not for the raptor.For your friend.so you hit him with it and you can run.but he can’t.so he gets killed while you make a break for it.or tame it.thats what I do.#20 raptors later,

These are the most deadly enemies for beginners If one sees you, you have no chance of escape.

If you are a beginner. Do NOT EVER let them see you. There is no escape. Once you have one, use bolas to trap the Raptors before it reaches you. Once it jump on you, it hold you down and prevents you from fighting back. If that happens, you are dead.

Bolas are your friend. Trust me.

When you want one there gone when you are going to pick berries there right behind us R.I.P mr meltwater Dont ask about his name
