How do I kill a raptor? raptor encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This creatures are annoying as hell...
This thing will KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR BIRD and possibly kill you I don’t know if this is for everyone but it is for us.
If you encounter a raptor and you need to escape just bola it and sprint off.
With the new Valguero update, you can dodge the pounce attack of a raptor. Just press jump, and you will roll to the side.
You betta watch out cuz hea we come...we ain’t stopping until we kill someone...We the raptas your every day factas bloody as fxck make you crap on your ruck we gunna find your children eat em alive deprive you of joy make you unemployed we da most hardcore gang in town don’t run even if you in a crown...we ain’t stopping until we kill someone... (The start of this mini rap was borrowed by a famous rapper but the rest of it is completely made by me. Also am listening to rap rn and just felt like writing this in lol)
If you kill one of these you might get trex skull skin for hats
Dont tame on craggs island. These will murder u and your soon to be tame. I tried to tame a spino and these guys came and slaughtered it. I barely survived. Lost 4 kibble, 200 biotoxin, and soothing balm. Why
simple pike to the face 2-3 times, or have a tamed dilo spit at it and shoot it with arrows, easy kill
Cant hear the darn things so watch your back if you see some around and have a hell of a sense rang(xbox)
Me and my friend just wandered around looking for stuff because we just spawned in aberration. But raptors appeared out of nowhere killing my friend and eventually killed me. Btw we had no weapons or clothes. Btw we were in the portal area
Ps4 tip Idk if this has worked for anyone else but I spam L2 and R2 and I sometimes make it out
They will jump on you what feels like 500 light years away
If you run into it don’t let it jump on you
They are easy to tame but watch out for the pounce you can't move when the Raptors on top so If you have enough heath and a good animal you can make it. BOLA needed.
Juste encountered about 7 of em forgot how close they were i was killing a argy lvl 16 with pteranodon (easy kill) then landed my pteranodon little did i know they were on there way (btw i have 500 health) one jumped on me lasted 15 secondes and my mouth droped not sur what lvl they were i know one was bloody cause of pt probably his lvl 135 so .. anyway watch ure selfs for these do not take lightly ... oh and btw these in xave A1 juste make sure there torpor isnt too high thats how one of mine died on my other game there was a titanboa in the floor (thanks wild card again) i didnt see it so couldnt do much...
Found that tek raptors seem to take less to tame over normal Raptor and have better stats
If a raptor decides to run after you try to bola it if u dont have a bola run into water if theres nothing of these strategies jump of a cliff and spam the inventory button so u dnt take fall damage
They do come with terror birds trust me I died a lot and always jump on you good luck
Once you find a raptor and you have a spear it is an easy kill I had no armor and it didn’t last one minute they also have good drops I found two slingshots and a metal pick in them so kill take harvest
When I was new I saw about maybe 3 and one was a alpha so I thought I could kill them bad idea I dead 💀 in 30 seconds but when I got good and understanded the game I could kill/tame them easily
