How do I kill a raptor? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I out ran one on an iggy an it was a lvl 68
Alpha Raptors are extremely vulnerable to knockback and can be repeatedly knocked out of range before they have a chance to hit. Rexes can easily maul Alpha Raptors at even mediocre levels and with a primitive saddle (plus Alpha Raptors do not aggro onto Rexes making travel safe if you just want to avoid it)
Playing w my noob friend on split screen ps4 and we were looking for a iggy at the edge of the swamp and we got jumped by a panicking raptor. Didn’t attack but we where scared silly and ran like a iggy. Found some dillos, tamed them, then the same raptor came and jumped me. I bolad it and was so excited to tame cus I never have. But my Dillo killed it 😐 yup so no raptor for me 😑
They are so fast. Do not approche when you are a beginner.
Go die raptor 1 like = one dead raptor
They can’t fight your mount. I killed like, 1M raptors with my Baryonyx.
If you, if your new to the game, think that raptors are super dangerous and powerful, then your wrong. I myself was one, and yet all you need to do is bola them and knock them out with preferably tranq arrows. Stuff it up with any meat, and this pet is useful for defense!
Ok, raptors are just EVIL. It killed me and I was just about to kill my first raptor on my own! But it HAD to kill me, ROAR! So, I’m going to try to tame and IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN I will kill them all.
Alpha raptors are way too powerful this needs to be changed
As of the latest update raptors are a greater predator than Bill Cosby in the playground. They can dismount you from any Dino’s they would normally agro including argents and griffins. They don’t seem to poe a threat on therizinosaurs, wyverns or megatheriums.
For a player whose just starting out, these are a very dangerous creature to encounter. However, a handful of spears is all you need to protect yourself, and quick reflexes. The biggest advantage the raptor has is their speed, so if you're in an area where they're common, keep alert, because once one pounces you, you're basically dead.
A pack of lvl 1 raptors can deal more damage than a rex, these things are scary, make sure you don’t get pinned down by one of them. Hit markers go mad
If you want to tame a raptor try to bola it before it jumps on you they are super fast and barely take fall damage,A level 10 raptor can take out a titanboa level 15
You can see them first and they won't attack until they see you. Use a bola if you want to immobilize it. If not, get a lot of dilos ealry on (I still have a huge pack on every island separated by water that have about 5-10 lol). I hoped this helped if you wanted to hunt some raptors.
Who else tried hiding in a bush ( by the way they say there is a dangerous Dino nearby
If you are a newbie stay way far from them as they jump on you and kill you and are in pavk of 2 or more. 😖😖
To the guy that hatchet works so does other melee weapons i was fighting one and it pinned me and then I just use my ASC sword and it insta killed it
Roses are red, I respect your mother, if you see one raptor expect another.
The best way to kill alpha raptors for low levels just put spike walls around it and make sure your at a safe distance (I would recommend a flyer to put the spike walls) grab some popcorn and watch the drama unfold
Good when on land just don't bring them into water they hella slow
